Coach Talk

Stingin' Buster Bees
Earning the win is most important, Stingin' Buster Bees, but we certainly know of one spot where we should get better as a team: our starting QB was significantly outplayed this past week. Patrick Mahomes went 16-of-28 for 224 yards and two touchdowns for Bleed Blue Crew, and all Derek Carr could produce was a 16-for-30 day, with 174 yards and one passing TD (plus three ugly interceptions).
Bleed Blue Crew
Well, Bleed Blue Crew, Week 16's problem was pretty easy to diagnose. Choosing to start multiple zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up almost 275 points... we'll consider this to be an opportunity to get better and agree that it won't happen again.
