Coach Talk

Waterloo vikes
Deploying a lineup that produced over 293 points this past week... we took care of business and did what had to be done.
Slob on my cobb
Fortunately, Slob on my cobb, this week's problem is fairly easy to diagnose. Choosing to start Nick Folk and Ryan Tannehill in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all assume it won't happen again and move on.
