Coach Talk

Big Donkey AGS AFC
Hey, football is all about creating mismatches, right? Thanks to a stellar outing by Matt Ryan, we utterly dominated SHIT HAPPENS at the quarterback position this past week (27.84 points to 7.7). Ryan went 34-for-49 for 356 yards, three TDs, and no INTs in a 31-27 loss to the Buccaneers.
SHIT HAPPENS
Well, this week's problem is pretty easy to diagnose, SHIT HAPPENS. Choosing to start Randy Bullock in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just move on from this and assume that something like this won't happen again?
