Coach Talk

Bills Mafia
You know what, Bills Mafia, we do certainly admire the confidence. Starting a player with zero points (Justin Tucker), while still earning the W... that's playing with fire. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're finished.
DemTruboyz
Logging only one reception on three measly targets this past week, it seems like the starting RBs for DemTruboyz should investigate why their QBs are giving them the cold shoulder.
