Coach Talk

RJ
You know RJ, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, I'll choose to take the optimistic route. Averaging 146.15 points through Week 13, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outperforming the 88.84 we needed to win this past week!
TRWDesign
The problem this week isn't exactly rocket science, TRWDesign. Going with Tee Higgins in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just put this behind us and move on?
