Coach Talk

Doomsday
Just one make on three field goal tries? It's quite possible that Matt Prater just kicked himself back into the free agent pool after this effort.
Fear & Loathing DYT
Recording just a couple of catches on four measly targets this past week, it appears that the starting running backs for Fear & Loathing DYT should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
