Coach Talk

Poxle Team
Listen Poxle Team, the good news is that we took this matchup by 10.58 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even stronger than this... as a matter of fact, our team's scoring average through Week 14 stood at 95.23. So yes, we're happy to have earned this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
AlexVerdugo
Wait, our quarterback tossed two interceptions and literally zero touchdowns? We might need to go back and review the game tape: Were the Eagles actually that strong against the pass, or was Jared Goff just that sloppy from the pocket? What do you think? Do we continue to roll with him as the starting QB of AlexVerdugo?
