On the offense’s continued short-yardage and goal line problems:
What Andy said:
``There are some things we’ve got to get better at. I don’t think we need to (say what they are) publicly. But there are some things that are being done and we’ve got a couple of them done over a couple of times. So we’ve got to make sure we straighten that out and get it right.’’
What he meant: ``McDonalds has some really great stuff on their 99-cent value meal, don’t they?

On center Jamaal Jackson suggesting that the Falcons knew the Eagles were going to run a quarterback sneak on that third-and-goal play from the one in the fourth quarter because the Eagles didn’t even bother to huddle up:
What Andy said:
``It’s important to make the right call. And it’s important to execute that call. We all have a little piece of that.’’
What he meant: ``If I had gotten my butt kicked on that play like he did, I guess I’d trot out the they-knew-what-we-were-going-to-run excuse too.’’

On becoming the 37th head coach in NFL history to notch 100 victories:
What Andy said:
``I happened to see that list. It’s an impressive list. I’m honored to be with that group.’’
What he meant: ``Now Bill Parcells and I have one more thing in common besides a fondness for Cheese Doodles.’’

On the Phils being on the brink of winning their first World Series in 28 years:
What Andy said:
``I’m going to be pulling hard for the Phillies, baby, and for Charlie (Manuel). They’re going to win. And the city will love every minute of it. It’ll be great for the city.’’
What he meant: ``Hey, would one of you guys mind going upstairs and talking Joe and Jeff off that ledge.’’

On how Lito Sheppard has dealt with his new role as the Eagles’ third cornerback:
What Andy said:
``Lito has handled this whole thing the right way. He’s been very professional about it. He’s been very team-oriented about it out there, and he’s played very hard.’’
What he meant: ``Since Tammy bought me that Drew Rosenhaus voodoo doll, we haven’t had any problems with Lito.’’

Les BowenLes Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News since 2002. Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey. E-mail Les at bowenl@phillynews.com and follow him on Twitter.

Paul DomowitchPaul Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982. He has spent most of his nearly 3 decades with the paper covering the Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo started his career in Texas, working first for the Midland Reporter-Telegram (1976-78), and then for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually was boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose 2 sports coats to blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley, a University of Oklahoma grad who still hasn’t gotten over that Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State 5 years ago, have 2 terrific daughters -- Allison, 28, who is an attorney in South Jersey, and Amy, 25, who works in administration for a professional baseball team.
