Coach Talk

C-Bus Cartel
Hey, we admire the confidence, C-Bus Cartel. Deploying a starter with zero points (Tee Higgins), while still earning a W... talk about arrogant. We just ask you to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Anthony's Team
Your starting QB threw two interceptions and no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Were the Colts actually that strong against the pass, or was Russell Wilson just that out-of-sync with his receivers? This judgment is yours to cast, Anthony's Team, as you manage your lineup in Week 6 and beyond!
