Coach Talk

Related By Choice
Well done, Related By Choice. Assembling a lineup that netted over 120 points this past week. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our Week 2 matchup.
Joseph's Team
Our starting QB threw two interceptions and literally no touchdowns? Maybe we should go back and review the game tape: Were the Saints actually that good defending the pass, or was Aaron Rodgers just that out-of-sync with his receiving crew? This judgment is yours to make... Joseph's Team, as you set your lineup in Week 2 and beyond!
