Coach Talk

FREAKS
Getting the win is most important, FREAKS, but we certainly know of one spot where we can get better as a team: our starting quarterback was clearly overmatched by the opposition. Our one guys under center combined for just 19 points in Week 15, and the QBs for Emperor Pelicans doubled us up with a score of 38.
Emperor Pelicans
Well, Emperor Pelicans, this week's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start Hunter Renfrow in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
