Coach Talk

Team Butthole
Good job assembling a lineup that won by a staggering 34 points this past week. We deem that to be a job well done. Let's maintain this momentum as we head into our Week 2 matchup.
Run CmC
The problem this week was pretty easy to diagnose, Run CmC. Going with Brandon Aiyuk in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up 149.52 points... let's use this as an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again?
