Coach Talk

The Soulja
Earning the win is most important, The Soulja, but we certainly know of one spot where we should improve as a team; our starting wide receivers were thoroughly outclassed this past week. Cole Beasley (41 total yards, no TDs) logged only 16.6 points in Week 14. The starting wideouts for Bert's Superb Team showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 45. Let's persuade the QB to get some more targets in Week 15!
Bert's Superb Team
Well, Bert's Superb Team, Week 14's problem was fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start several zero-point players in a tough fantasy matchup... let's use this as an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again.
