Coach Talk

eddie's Cool Team
Listen eddie's Cool Team, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 88.55 points through Week 14, our crew has certainly proven that it's even better than the 76.7 we needed to win this past week!
Nick's Perfect Team
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Justin Tucker may have just kicked himself to the waiver wire after this effort.
