Coach Talk

jelworthy18's Swell Team
Listen, jelworthy18's Swell Team, we applaud you on the confidence. Rolling out a starter with negative points (the Los Angeles Chargers defense) while still earning the W... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Arguably agreeable
Posting zero catches on only one target this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for Arguably agreeable obviously need to smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to check down more frequently.
