Coach Talk

PATRIOTS RULE
Hey, we admire the confidence, PATRIOTS RULE. It's a bold move to deploy a starter with zero points (Matthew Judon), while still getting the win.
Silver Ballers
Hey, it's possible that Silver Ballers might be a better GM in the NFL than in fantasy football. Accumulating only nine targets as a group in Week 15, their four wide receivers apparently spent the majority of their games blocking downfield and running decoy routes.
