Coach Talk

Doughboys
Nice job assembling a lineup that earned more than 177 points this past week. We consider that to be a job done right. Let's take this victory in stride, tip our cap to the GM of WarEagle, and continue on our way towards the OklahomIraqis League AFC championship.
WarEagle
Fortunately, this week's problem is pretty easy to identify, WarEagle. Starting the Buffalo Bills defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time?
