Coach Talk

Buckley
Hey, the key to football is creating mismatches, right? Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our running backs, our team created a big disparity this week. Our three backfield starters put up 185 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs of Q (330 total yards to 145), as we ultimately almost quadrupled them at the position, 57 points to 14.5.
Q
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and no touchdowns? I guess we've stumbled upon a fork in the road here. Was Jared Goff really that out-of-sync with the receiving crew, or were the Eagles just that stout defending the pass? What do you think? Do we keep rolling with him as the starting QB of Q?
