Coach Talk

Chinamen
You know what, Chinamen, we do certainly respect the confidence. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (Jakobi Meyers and Courtland Sutton), while still earning the win. All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Black Unicorns
Ugh, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting RBs for Black Unicorns collectively registered a couple of catches on only three measly targets this past week. Instruct those quarterbacks to dump it down a little more often in Week 15!
