Coach Talk

Money In The Bank
Deploying a lineup that won by a whopping 47.56 points this past week... we took care of business and did what we needed to do. Let's tip our cap to the GM of The dirty birds, take this W in stride, and continue pushing forward to a fantasy title.
The dirty birds
Wait, our starting QB threw two interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape. Were the Colts truly that strong defending the pass, or was Russell Wilson just that out-of-sync with the receivers? What do you think, The dirty birds, do we continue to start him with confidence?
