Coach Talk

Russell's Last Stand
Well, we do admire the confidence this past week, Russell's Last Stand. Deploying a starter with zero points (DeVante Parker), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Beantown Champs
Fortunately, Beantown Champs, Week 16's problem isn't exactly rocket science. Choosing to start the New England Patriots defense in a tough fantasy matchup... let's attempt to play with a full deck of cards next time.
