Coach Talk

Pai Mei
You know what, Pai Mei, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. Rolling out not one, not two, but FOUR players with zero points while still getting the W... that's borderline arrogant! All we ask is to please keep those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we'll be done.
Soupsie Iannuzzi
The problem in Week 14 was pretty easy to diagnose, Soupsie Iannuzzi. Starting Joe Flacco and Bryce Perkins in a tough fantasy matchup... we'll all put this behind us and move on.
