Coach Talk

El Tigre
You know what, El Tigre, we do appreciate the confidence. It takes real gumption to play not one, not two, but FOUR starters with zero points while still earning the W.
Fly Eagles Fly
Our quarterback tossed an interception and literally no touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Was Russell Wilson really that off-rhythm with his receiving crew, or were the Rams just that great defending the pass?
