Coach Talk

Mr. Phamtastic
Well Mr. Phamtastic, the good news is that we won this matchup by more than four points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through 14 weeks was 123.62. So while we're happy to have gotten this victory, let's get back up to where we know we can be!
Fishy Pink
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and not a single touchdown? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape: Were the Eagles actually that stout defending the pass, or did Jared Goff seem flustered back there in the pocket? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of Fishy Pink?
