Coach Talk

Chicago Chain Gang
Nice job, Chicago Chain Gang. Kudos on deploying a lineup that blew the opposition out by nearly 28 points in Week 15.
I'm a bear. Grrr
Unless I'm a bear. Grrr wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough opportunities" is definitely not an excuse this time around. Our pass-catching corps (six WR, one TE) collectively got a grand total of 36 targets in Week 15. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group recorded just 21 receptions.
