Coach Talk

Chicago Bears
Well, we do applaud the confidence this past week, Chicago Bears. It takes a special kind of moxie to field a starter with negative points (Nick Foles) while still getting the W. All we ask is to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
Green Bay Packers
Well, we certainly can't gripe about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR, two TE) were targeted a whopping 31 times in Week 13. Chemistry appears to be a problem, as that group notched only 18 receptions.
