Coach Talk

Phily
Hey, we admire the confidence, Phily. It takes moxie to deploy a starter with zero points (David Johnson), while still earning the W. We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
DieNasty32
Unless DieNasty32 wants to go full diva-mode, then "not getting many chances" isn't really a valid excuse this week. Our eight pass-catchers (five WR and three TE) were targeted a grand total of 39 times in Week 17. With only 22 total receptions, that group may have some chemistry issues.
