Coach Talk

Mahomes' Marauders
Hey, we admire the confidence, Mahomes' Marauders. It takes guts to deploy a starter with zero points (Robbie Anderson), while still earning a win! We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're done.
New World Order
Talk about old-school ground n' pound: As a group, the starting backfield for New World Order collectively registered two receptions on just three measly targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to draw up a screen play or two in Week 9!
