Coach Talk

ReelDeel
Putting together a starting crew that won by over 14 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of NoPuntIntended, and continue on our way towards a fantasy title.
NoPuntIntended
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Chris Boswell might be kicking himself back into the free agent pool following this effort.
