Coach Talk

The Dogs of War
Innovative play design and countless hours in the film room. Blood, sweat, and tears in practice. 11 guys in the huddle, all on the same page. Every single route, every single pass, meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. And the outcome? A staggering 30 connections on 37 attempts: good enough for a 81 percent completion percentage for Kirk Cousins this past week. The Eagles secondary didn't know what hit 'em!.
Arrogant Americans
Your starting QB tossed four interceptions and just a single touchdown? We may should have a little debate here: Were the Eagles genuinely that strong defending the pass, or did Blake Bortles appear shaky back there in the pocket? What do you think, Arrogant Americans, do we continue to start him with confidence?
