Coach Talk

Chicago Bears
Listen Chicago Bears, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has slipped recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 34.92 points through Week 12, our crew has shown it's certainly capable of outproducing the 21 we needed for this past week's win!
New England Patriots
Try your best to think big-picture here: only one GM is ultimately gonna win this thing... there's a lot to be said for choosing to take the classy route, gracefully congratulating those who do hoist the trophy, and start re-strategizing for next season! Keep your head up, New England Patriots!
