Coach Talk

Pjoke
Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 70.46 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we had to do. Let's tip our cap to the GM of The Playbook of Eli, take this W in stride, and continue the march towards a fantasy championship.
The Playbook of Eli
We just took it easy so our guys could dominate in next week, right? The six starting offensive position players on The Playbook of Eli (three RBs, two WRs, one TE) combined to register 566 yards and just two touchdowns in Week 8. Our opposition's skill players made it tough on us by logging 840 yards and five scores.
