Coach Talk

The Bonesmashers
Wow, the Colts defense didn't see it coming! 29 completions on 34 attempts... good enough for an 85 percent completion percentage for Matt Ryan. We know the GM of The Bonesmashers has to be thankful for the attention to detail.
PHILADELPHIA
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, PHILADELPHIA. Going with Calvin Ridley and Darren Sproles in a tough fantasy matchup... let's use this as an opportunity to get better and agree that it's not going to happen again.
