Coach Talk

Doughboys
Whoa, Doughboys, you put the rest of the league on notice with this shellacking. Not only did you win by 111.65 points, you also climbed from seventh place to fifth in the league standings!
Negligent Discharges
Your quarterback tossed three interceptions and only two touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape: Was Case Keenum actually that out-of-sync with his receiving crew, or were the Bears just that great against the pass? What do you think, Negligent Discharges, do we continue to start him with confidence?
