Coach Talk

Will0120
Hey now Will0120, that's what we love to see! A whopping 31 completions on 35 attempts this past go round for Mr. Precision... Uh, sorry, I mean Russell Wilson. The Falcons defense didn't see it coming! In what wound up being a ridiculously tight matchup, the GM of Will0120 has got to be grateful for the precision and attention to detail.
Elvis
Just one field goal on three attempts? Sounds like Zane Gonzalez might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after this performance... especially since Elvis needed every point possible in this narrow matchup.
