Coach Talk
Mississippi
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Mississippi. It takes true guts to deploy a player with negative points (the Buffalo Bills defense) while still earning the W. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Lance Harbor
Luckily, Week 5's problem isn't exactly rocket science, Lance Harbor. Choosing to start quite a few zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up more than 467 points... let's try to play with a full deck of cards next time.
