Coach Talk

MB Tide
Listen, MB Tide, we do certainly admire the confidence. Deploying a starter with zero points (Tyler Boyd), while still earning the win... 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 when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be done.
Doogie's Team
Fortunately, this week's problem was pretty easy to diagnose, Doogie's Team. Going with Noah Fant in what wound up being a tight fantasy matchup... let's all just move on from this and assume something like this won't be happening again.
