Coach Talk

Golden Nuggets
Hey, football is all about exploiting the mismatches, right? Thanks to a sound display from Russell Wilson, we utterly dominated Pogni se! at the quarterback position this past week (22 points to 4). Wilson went 23-for-31 for 237 yards and two TDs in a 26-23 loss to the 49ers.
Pogni se!
Well, we can't really gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (two WR and one TE) collectively got a whopping 23 targets in Week 15. With only 12 total receptions, this group may be showing signs of chemistry issues.
