Coach Talk

Eat it!
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Eat it!. Starting a starter with negative points (the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense) while still getting the win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists. All we ask is to please limit those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
SIXBURGH
Well, Week 14's problem isn't exactly rocket science, SIXBURGH. Going with Foster Moreau in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all just move on from this and assume that something like this won't happen again.
