Coach Talk

I'm a bear. Grrr
We do appreciate the confidence this past week, I'm a bear. Grrr. It takes a special sort of moxie to deploy a starter with zero points (DeAndre Carter), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it in the playoffs and we're done.
Chicago Chain Gang
With just five receptions this past week, the starting running backs for Chicago Chain Gang should smooth things over with their quarterbacks... and remind them to start checking down more frequently.
