Coach Talk

Spoon
Hey, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Spoon. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Calais Campbell), while still earning a win. We just ask you to please limit that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Philly Phresh
Well, we can't really complain about a lack of opportunities this week, can we? Our three wide receivers were targeted a hearty 27 times in Week 14. Timing and chemistry seem to be issues as that group hauled in just 16 receptions.
