Coach Talk

OUT in Turtle Town
Listen OUT in Turtle Town, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has declined a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 133.42 points through Week 11, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 105.06 we needed to win this past week!
Team Rudebrewd
Hey, it's possible that Team Rudebrewd may be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing only 12 total targets in Week 12, their four wide receivers apparently contributed to their respective offenses by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
