Coach Talk

Bears 85
We do admire the confidence this past week, Bears 85. Deploying a starter with zero points (Rondale Moore), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire! All we ask is to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be toast.
Fa-Kin-Su-Pa
Ugh, talk about under-utilized. The starting RBs for Fa-Kin-Su-Pa collectively logged just a couple of targets this past week.
