Coach Talk
SuckMikeDitka
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, SuckMikeDitka. Deploying a player with zero points (the Chicago Bears defense), while still getting a win... that's a bit too risky for us traditionalists! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
The Professor
Our starting QB threw two interceptions and just a single touchdown? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape. Was Joe Burrow actually that shaky in the pocket, or was the Chargers secondary just that great against the pass? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of The Professor?
