Coach Talk

The Little Giants
Listen The Little Giants, the good news is that we won this matchup by 3.52 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 8 stood at 119.78. So while we're happy to have earned this victory, let's "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
Fubar Jr
With just a couple of catches on eight targets this past week, the starting RBs for Fubar Jr clearly should smooth things over with their QBs... and remind them to dump it down more often.
