Coach Talk

eXacerBators
Listen eXacerBators, the good news is that we won this matchup by 17 points. The *even better* news is that we've proven we're better than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through 12 weeks was 137.42. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also "regress" back up to where we know we can be!
MonstersOfTheMidway
Your quarterback tossed one interception and literally no touchdowns? It might be wise to go back and review the game tape. Did Nick Foles seem rattled back there in the pocket, or was the Buccaneers secondary just that stout against the pass? The judgment is yours to cast, MonstersOfTheMidway, as you manage your lineup for Week 14 and beyond!
