Coach Talk

Tyler's Tip-Top Team
You know what, Tyler's Tip-Top Team, we do appreciate the confidence. Deploying not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Tyler Higbee and Keenan Allen), while still getting the win... that's borderline cocky. Try those shenanigans next week against Brian McDougall and we're sure to be toast.
Ultimate Badasses
With just two catches this past week, the starting RBs for Ultimate Badasses obviously need to investigate why their quarterbacks are giving them the silent treatment.
