Coach Talk

BearDAHN
Getting the win is most important, BearDAHN, but we do know of one spot where we should get stronger as a team... our QB was clearly outmatched by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for just 8 points in Week 15, while the QBs for Karamustafe tripled us up with a score of 26.
Karamustafe
"Four score and seven points ago, our players brought forth, upon this fantasy matchup..." Wait, that's not how it goes (and unfortunately for us, not all fantasy squads are created equal). The 87 points our team recorded weren't enough to get the win this week. Keep pushing forward, Karamustafe, for as Honest Abe once said: "You cannot fail unless you quit."
