Coach Talk

Raider4life
Nice work deploying a lineup that netted 93 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to what's sure to be an exceedingly formidable matchup in Week 3.
Blade Executioner
Fortunately, Blade Executioner, Week 2's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Choosing to start Rob Gronkowski in what turned out to be a tight fantasy matchup... let's use this as a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again.
