Coach Talk

Raiders soul smasher
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Raiders soul smasher. It takes a certain kind of guts to roll out a starter with zero points (Jakeem Grant), while still getting the W.
Raiders4Life
Fortunately, Raiders4Life, Week 15's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Starting James Conner in a tough fantasy matchup... let's use this as an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again.
