Coach Talk

THE BOSS
You know THE BOSS, the good news is that we took this matchup by 25 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through Week 13 stood at 104.54. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Carl's Team
There's a distinct possibility that Carl's Team might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Seeing just five targets combined this past week, their three wide receivers apparently helped their teams' causes by blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
