Coach Talk

Chapel Bulls
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but we can't deny it, Chapel Bulls; our quarterback was severely outclassed by the opposition. Josh Allen went 29-of-42 for 249 yards and two touchdowns for Tampa Thunder, and all Patrick Mahomes could manage through the air was 275 yards and one passing TD (plus an ugly interception). We need to bounce back with a big statement in Week 9!
Tampa Thunder
The problem in Week 8 is pretty easy to diagnose, Tampa Thunder. Starting Travis Kelce in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 120 points... we'll deem this to be an opportunity to get better and all agree that it won't happen again.
