Coach Talk

Pantheon Hulks
Nice work deploying a starting crew that accounted for over 117 points this past week. We did what was needed and took care of business. We should tip our cap to the GM of Owen Sixteen, take this W in stride, and continue our march towards the Hero Realm Football League title.
Owen Sixteen
Welp, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 30 times in Week 16. Those players might need to get some extra reps with the JUGS machine, considering they managed only 18 receptions.
