Coach Talk

u gonna eat that?
Listen, u gonna eat that?, we do certainly admire the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Alshon Jeffery), while still getting a win! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
CAPT. ED
"Four score and seven points ago, our players brought forth, upon this fantasy matchup..." Wait, that's not how it goes (and unfortunately for us, not all fantasy teams are created equal). Our 87 points weren't enough to get the win this week. Keep pushing forward, CAPT. ED, for as Honest Abe conveyed: "You cannot fail unless you quit."
