Andy Reid Game Quotations

I wouldn?t say lucky. You?re going to have these types of games and it?s important that you come out of these on our side of the stick and that you battle through it. Everything is not going to be a 42-3 game. You?ve got to have the wherewithal to battle a little bit, and our guys did that.

Even though it might be game five, six, somewhere in that area, I think that gives him enough time (to return), unless there are setbacks. We don't know. We think in talking with the doctor he'll be fine. He feels good. We'll see when he gets up here and he starts doing some of the work.

If we didn't understand the importance of special teams before, we certainly do after today. You have to take that part of the game seriously, too. You have to take care of the football and you have to block and tackle.

Marty has demonstrated that he is one of the top offensive minds in the game and he's proven that throughout his NFL coaching career. We're happy to have had him on staff for the past three seasons and with that we feel this transition will be seamless for him and for the rest of the coaching staff.

I think I could have called his number more. We are better when we spread the ball around; I think Donovan hit 11 guys. And we are better when that happens, because it has more of an effect on the offense. I didn?t do a good enough job in that first game of mixing it up.

We are better when we spread the ball around. We are more effective as an offense when we do that and I didn't do a good enough job during that first game mixing it up.

The bottom line is, as bad as it seems today we are two games out of first place in the NFC East, ... We have a great opportunity to go forward here and put the remaining part of this season together in a plus manner.

They were criticized a little bit, rightly so. They stepped their game up and that's what good players do when they're put in that position.

You're not going to win too many games in the NFL with six turnovers. When you really get down to it today, that was the problem.

You're going to have these types of games and it's important that you battle through it. It's not going to be 42-3 every week. You've got to have the wherewithal in you to battle back and our guys did that.

He's had an MRI, a CT scan, and he did have an X-ray after the game. He has a bruised chest, and we just have to see how it works out in the next day or two.

Garcia is a guy who's had a lot of success in the National Football League. He knows how to win football games and he's been to the Pro Bowl multiple times. He's a very smart player and is very familiar with our offensive system. He'll be a great backup to Donovan.

Games like this happen. We're not going to sit here and panic. We're going to get back to work, we're going to learn from it and get back to business.

I never question that about him. He loves to play the game and wants to be out there.

We utilized him in training camp. We have to make sure that most of his concentration is on the tight end spot. But he is a guy we could use to get us through a game at fullback.

It gets pointed at McMahon, but it's not all him. Everybody around him, me included, needs to pick up our games and make sure we're running the routes the right way and we're catching the football. You can't have six or seven drops like we did Saturday. We have to protect a little better. I have to make sure I'm getting him in situations and the receivers in situations where they can do things.

The games have been a little closer and it's given us more opportunities to call some more running plays.

I like this game right here. I like it because it gives me an opportunity to see what I have outside the first unit. It gives them their last crack at making this football team.

They had a big challenge in there. That's a pretty good defensive front. To come out and be able to put together a 100-yard-plus game is a tribute to those big guys.
