Coach Talk

Always_Whining
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Always_Whining. Our starting running backs were utterly outclassed by the opposition. J.D. McKissic (nine total yards, no TDs) logged just 11.15 points in Week 15. Leonard Fournette and Carlos Hyde doubled us up with a score of 27.15.
SiWins
The problem in Week 15 isn't exactly rocket science, SiWins. Choosing to start the Los Angeles Rams defense and Greg Olsen in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll use this as an opportunity to get better and agree that it's not going to happen again?
