Coach Talk

🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, 🏈Gridiron & Wine 🍷! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then we have found an area to improve: our starting QB was significantly outclassed by the opposition. Jared Goff went 27-of-39 for 330 yards and three touchdowns for Slower Clap, and all Tyler Huntley could produce was an 8-for-12 outing for 88 passing yards. Let's work overtime to get on the same page with our receivers this week!
Slower Clap
Well, Slower Clap, Week 14's problem is pretty easy to spot. Choosing to start Tee Higgins in a fantasy matchup where your opponent tallied more than 168 points... we'll all just assume something like this won't happen again and move on.
