Coach Talk

Garbaggio
Hey, it's good to be confident, Garbaggio. It's a bold move to play a player with zero points (Tyler Higbee), while still earning the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Potsy's Posse and we'll be toast.
My Team
Yo, My Team, did your receiving crew talk bad about their quarterbacks or something? With only 17 total targets this past week, our five starting pass-catchers (four WR, one TE) clearly got on their respective QBs' bad sides.
