Coach Talk

Blacula's Bums
Just one make on three field goal tries? In a matchup where every point mattered, Matt Prater probably had the GM of Blacula's Bums contemplating why kickers should even be rostered.
Fighting Chichiwawas
Well, Fighting Chichiwawas, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Choosing to start DeVante Parker in what wound up being a tight fantasy matchup... we'll consider this to be a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again.
