Coach Talk

Dolphins
Hey, we admire the confidence, Dolphins. Starting a player with zero points (Mike Gesicki), while still getting a win... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be done.
Eagles
Well, Eagles, Week 14's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Going with JaMycal Hasty and Chase Edmonds in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all put this behind us and move on.
