Coach Talk

Chicago Bears
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Chicago Bears. It's a bold move to deploy, not one, but TWO starters with zero points (the Jacksonville Jaguars defense and Virgil Green), while still getting the W. Try that type of flashy, show-off stuff next week against Detroit Lions and we're sure to be toast!
Green Bay Packers
Whoa now, talk about old-school ground n' pound. As a group, the starting RBs for Green Bay Packers collectively registered four catches on only five targets this past week. Tell those offensive coordinators to set up some screen plays in Week 13!
