Coach Talk
steelcity's Expert Team
Hey, it's good to be confident, steelcity's Expert Team. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Michael Pittman Jr.), while still earning a W. We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
BOYZ R BACK
Listen, BOYZ R BACK, we've been in this industry long enough to realize that sometimes points can just randomly appear out of the blue. Then sometimes (*cough cough*, Week 2) they don't! Hmmm, alright... asking for an additional 18 points may be a bit overzealous.
