Coach Talk

Philly fan
Listen, Philly fan, we certainly appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with negative points (the Detroit Lions defense) while still earning the W... talk about arrogance.
Thomas's Terrific Team
Well, we can't really gripe about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a grand total of 27 times in Week 16. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they notched just 13 catches.
