Coach Talk

Chicago Bears
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Chicago Bears. Starting a player with negative points (plus two zero-point players) while still getting the W... talk about arrogance. All we ask is to please keep those shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the postseason and we're toast.
GB Packers (JP)
The problem in Week 11 is pretty easy to spot, GB Packers (JP). Choosing to start AJ Dillon and Marcedes Lewis in a fantasy matchup where every point mattered... let's try to move forward with a full deck of cards next time.
