Coach Talk

the scoring machine
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Thanks to a solid display from Russell Wilson, we thoroughly outplayed Womb Wrecker at the quarterback position this past week (23.5 points to 8.56). Wilson went 26-for-39 for 235 yards, two TDs, and an INT in a 25-17 loss to the Chargers.
Womb Wrecker
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? Our pass-catching corps (four WR, one TE) were targeted a whopping 27 times in Week 9. With only 15 total receptions, that group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
