Coach Talk

M.A.S.K.
Mission accomplished, M.A.S.K.. Good job deploying a team that won by 17.66 points this past matchup. We should take this W in stride, tip our hat to the GM of Gotham Giants, and continue the march towards the Jammers FFL league championship.
Gotham Giants
Welp, we certainly can't whine about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR and two TE) were targeted a whopping 21 times in Week 2. Chemistry seems to be the primary problem, as that group reeled in just 11 catches.
