Coach Talk

Terrible Trubisky?
Good work, Terrible Trubisky?. Kudos on deploying a starting crew that blew the opponent out by a whopping 68.56 points this past week. Let's maintain this momentum as we roll into our Week 4 matchup.
THUNDER N LIGHTNING
Unless THUNDER N LIGHTNING wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not getting many looks" is not an excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 30 times in Week 3. Chemistry appears to be an issue, as that group managed only 17 receptions.
