Coach Talk

SuckMikeDitka
You know SuckMikeDitka, I'm a glass-half-full kind of coach. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped lately, I'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 160.71 points through Week 5, our crew has obviously proven that it's even better than the 135.22 we needed to win this past week!
Tatanka
Unless Tatanka wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting enough chances" cannot be an excuse this week. Our four wide receivers collectively received a grand total of 32 targets in Week 6. Chemistry seems to be the primary issue, as that group tallied only 18 catches.
