Coach Talk

Rusty Trombones
Listen Rusty Trombones, the good news is that we won this matchup by 5.77 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 8 stood at 108.87. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Rabid otters II
Hey, it's possible that Rabid otters II may be a better GM in real football than in fantasy. Accumulating just 15 targets as a group this past week, their four starting pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) apparently did a superb job running decoy routes and blocking downfield.
