Coach Talk

Finkle is Einhorn
Nice work deploying a starting crew that posted 154.75 points this past week. We took care of business and did what we needed to do. We should maintain this momentum as we move on to our Week 2 matchup.
Child Pleeze
The problem this week was pretty easy to diagnose, Child Pleeze. Starting the Jacksonville Jaguars defense in a fantasy matchup where your opposition tallied 154.75 points... let's deem this to be an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again.
