Coach Talk

Beefy Legends
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Beefy Legends! Having said that, if we want to take our performance to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve. Our starting quarterbacks were severely outplayed this past week. Our two signal-callers combined for only 5.67 points in Week 14, and the QBs for Last Man Standing showed us how it's supposed to be done by putting up a score of 32.8. We need to spend some extra time this week working with our receivers!
Last Man Standing
The problem in Week 14 is pretty easy to diagnose, Last Man Standing. Choosing to start several zero-point players in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up over 282 points... let's deem this to be a learning experience and all agree that it's not going to happen again.
