Coach Talk

cheeseheads
You know cheeseheads, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's decreased a bit lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 171.75 points through Week 3, our crew has definitely proven that it's even better than the 136.47 we needed for this past week's win!
Ram's Den
Well, Ram's Den, Week 4's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Starting Dan Bailey and Mike Williams in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 136.47 points... let's aim to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
