Coach Talk

Chicago Bears
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Chicago Bears. Deploying not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Ray-Ray McCloud III, DJ Moore, and Marshon Lattimore), while still getting the win... that's playing with fire! We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it when the postseason rolls around, and we'll be toast.
New York Jets
The problem in Week 13 isn't exactly rocket science, New York Jets. Choosing to start Courtland Sutton, Robert Quinn, and Marco Wilson in a fantasy matchup where your opposition put up over 242 points... we'll just assume something like this won't happen again and move on?
