Coach Talk

Negligent Discharges
Getting the win is most important, Negligent Discharges, but we do know of one spot where we can improve as a team. Our quarterback was utterly outmatched by the opposition. Russell Wilson went 21-of-28 for 288 yards and five touchdowns for Doughboys, and all Tom Brady could manage through the air was 217 yards and one passing TD. Let's spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Doughboys
Keep your chin up, Doughboys! Trust us on this one, we've been in this business for quite a long time now. Obstacles pop up, you suffer some defeats, the fans get a little whiny, and your local beat writers turn chippy with all of their questions. All part of living that coach life. Just remember that when it comes to fantasy football, winning is the easiest way to silence all the critics out there.
