Coach Talk

Manager-less Team
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Manager-less Team. Playing not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Kenny Golladay and Odell Beckham Jr.), while still getting a W... talk about arrogant! All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be toast.
Michael Scott
Three WRs, one RB, one TE, zero TDs: The five offensive position starters on Michael Scott combined to register a whopping 430 yards from scrimmage. No one from that group could get into the end zone in Week 13.
