Coach Talk

Slappy
Listen Slappy, the good news is that we won this matchup by 11.62 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this... in fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 166.6. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Purpnyellow3
Our starting QB tossed one interception and not a single touchdown? We might need to play Monday-morning quarterback here. Were the Panthers really that stout defending the pass, or was Drew Brees just that out-of-sync with the receivers? This is the sort of decision you'll have to make, Purpnyellow3, as you manage your lineup for Week 16 and beyond!
