Coach Talk

waterloo vikes
Listen waterloo vikes, I'm a "glass half full" kind of coach. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit recently, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 217.79 points through Week 7, our crew has obviously proven that it's even stronger than the 186.82 we needed to win this past week!
Oilers
The problem this week is pretty easy to identify, Oilers. Starting Robby Anderson in a tough fantasy matchup... let's aim to play with a full deck of cards next time.
