Coach Talk

Whackers
Listen, Whackers, we do respect the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but THREE players with zero points (Courtland Sutton, Dawson Knox, and Damien Harris), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant. All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
Norman Nobodies
Wow, talk about old-school ground n' pound. The starting backfield for Norman Nobodies collectively registered only a pair of catches on four measly targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to check down a little more often in Week 14!
