Coach Talk

Handyman
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Handyman. Deploying a starter with zero points (Gerald Everett), while still getting the W... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we'll be done.
VABoyz
Well, VABoyz, Week 16's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Choosing to start Ryan Tannehill in what was ultimately a tight fantasy matchup... let's all assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
