Coach Talk

Neil's Notable Team
Sure, we ultimately got the win, but there's not really any way sugarcoat it, Neil's Notable Team; our starting QB was significantly overmatched by the opposition. Our one men under center combined for just 9.86 points in Week 16, while the QBs for Red Dawgs showed us up by recording a score of 25.5.
Red Dawgs
Fortunately, Red Dawgs, this week's problem isn't exactly advanced calculus. Going with the Denver Broncos defense in a fantasy matchup where your opponent put up 102.66 points... let's use this as a learning experience and agree that it won't happen again?
