Coach Talk

matt's Optimal Team
Nice work, matt's Optimal Team. Bravo on deploying a starting crew that blew the opposition out by over 74 points in Week 15.
Jammers
Hey, at least there were no celebration penalties: The six offensive position starters on Jammers (three WRs, two RBs, one TE) combined to register a healthy 444 yards from scrimmage. Not one of those players, unfortunately, was able to score a touchdown in Week 15.
