Coach Talk

Kielce Vikings
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but there's really no way sugarcoat it, Kielce Vikings: our QB was clearly overmatched this past week. Matt Ryan went 24-of-36 for 273 yards and four touchdowns for Kołobrzeg Eagles, and all Daniel Jones could manage through the air was 241 passing yards and an ugly interception. Let's bounce back with a big statement in Week 3!
Kołobrzeg Eagles
Unless Kołobrzeg Eagles wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many chances" doesn't fly as an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) combined to see a respectable 20 targets in Week 2. With only 12 total catches, that group may have some chemistry issues.
