Coach Talk

Gotslossed1001
Listen, Gotslossed1001, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (the Buffalo Bills defense), while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're finished.
Bruisin’ Egos
There's still a boatload of time remaining to turn this season around, Bruisin’ Egos! The next few opponents could glance at your record and foolishly believe they have an easy matchup. Take a page out of Wil Lutz's book and put your best foot forward... catch those complacent managers off-guard!
