Coach Talk

Beantown Champs
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Beantown Champs! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve; our quarterback was clearly outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 8.7 points in Week 15, and the QBs for The Paper Curtain literally quadrupled us with a score of 35.22.
The Paper Curtain
The problem in Week 15 isn't exactly rocket science, The Paper Curtain. Choosing to start Myles Gaskin and Ronald Jones II in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up over 92 points... let's consider this to be an opportunity to get better and agree that it's not going to happen again.
