Coach Talk

Caribbean Bombers
You know Caribbean Bombers, the good news is that we won this matchup by 23 points. Even better news is that we know we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 7 stood at 129.43. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Aida Wildcats
Hey, it's possible that Aida Wildcats could be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. With only seven targets as a group in Week 8, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
