Coach Talk

X-Factor
Hey, this sport is all about creating mismatches, right? We really took that to heart this week by doubling up Cocktails and Dreams at the wide receiver position (23.5 points to 11.5).
Cocktails and Dreams
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and literally no touchdowns? I suppose we're presented with a fork in the road here: Were the actually that good defending the pass, or was Cam Newton just that out-of-tune with his receivers? The judgment is yours to make... Cocktails and Dreams, as you manage your lineup for Week 7 and beyond!
