Coach Talk

SNAKEBITTEN
You know, football is all about exploiting the mismatches. Thanks to a thrilling performance from Russell Wilson, we nearly tripled BaLLCHiNiaNzzz at the quarterback position this past week (36.92 points to 13.06). Wilson went 17-for-23 for 268 yards and four TDs in a 30-29 win over the Rams.
BaLLCHiNiaNzzz
Here's a list of sports scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2: A hitter's line in baseball, the Jazz facing MJ's Bulls in the NBA Finals, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Joey Slye might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this effort... especially since BaLLCHiNiaNzzz needed every point they could possibly get in this tight matchup.
