Coach Talk

Final Dez-tination
Props to you, Final Dez-tination. Nice job fielding a starting crew that registered over 207 points this past matchup.
Bears 85
Unless Bears 85 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not seeing enough chances" can't be a valid excuse this week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (three WR and two TE) were targeted a healthy 35 times in Week 16. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group tallied only 14 catches.
