Coach Talk

Tigers
Well Tigers, the good news is that we won this matchup by 16.5 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this, as our scoring average through 13 weeks was 152.73. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
TGOB's Champion Team
Well, TGOB's Champion Team, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose. Going with Julio Jones in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just put this behind us and move on?
