Coach Talk

Bills Babbbyyy
We do admire the confidence this past week, Bills Babbbyyy. Deploying a player with zero points (Adam Thielen), while still earning the win... that's borderline cocky. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be done.
Guns N’ Rosen
Wow, talk about under-utilized: The starting backfield for Guns N’ Rosen collectively recorded zero reception on just one target this past week.
