Oct 26, 2015 at 06:29 AM

On his message to the team entering the bye week:**

Kelly: I don't anticipate any major changes after bye. I told our team that we have a good team. We just need to clean things up.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) October 26, 2015

Kelly: We're close, but when you play a good Carolina football team close isn't good enough.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) October 26, 2015

Coach Kelly: The players will get away for a little bit with the bye week. I expect them to come back ready to go for the Cowboys.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) October 26, 2015

On the status of tackle Jason Peters, who left the game in the first quarter with back spasms:

Kelly said Jason Peters should be good to go when the #Eagles reconvene for training next Tuesday. Best news possible.

Kelly: I thought by and large those guys (Tobin and Dennis Kelly) fought.

On quarterback Sam Bradford:

Coach Kelly on not considering a QB change: I have been very pleased with Sam. I think our quarterback is playing well.

On the division of running back reps in Sunday's game:

Coach Kelly: Ryan Mathews hurt his groin on the 22-yard run before his touchdown. Duce Staley was monitoring him after that.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) October 26, 2015

Kelly: We'll see if Mathews will be available for the Cowboys game.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) October 26, 2015

On the wide receiver drops:

Kelly on the drops: Sometimes I think (Jordan Matthews) just overthinks it. He's always on the JUGS machine. He's made clutch catches for us
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) October 26, 2015

Kelly: I think we had guys open last night. We just didn't do a good job of securing the catch.
— Dave Spadaro (@EaglesInsider) October 26, 2015

On the run defense against the Panthers:

Coach Kelly on the run defense: 80 yards came on two plays. It was kind of uncharacteristic of how we've been stopping the run.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) October 26, 2015

On the return of linebacker Mychal Kendricks:

Coach Kelly: Mychal Kendricks was okay. He was a little rusty. Just need to get him back into the flow.
— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) October 26, 2015

On the team's inability to score touchdowns in the red zone:

Kelly on the red zone: Noted that there were two drops in the red zone and one catch where the receiver didn't get both feet inbounds.
