When speaking to the media on Thursday, head coach Chip Kelly talked about the state of the team, specifically highlighting the offense, his opinion of 2-point conversions and connections to the Saints ...

Chip Kelly said that his opinion regarding 2-point conversions has not changed even with the missed XPs around the NFL

Kelly: I think all of us contributed to the loss. You can't pin that on one guy (Caleb Sturgis). I stressed that to the entire team

On Darren Sproles and Malcolm Jenkins' connection to the Saints:

Kelly: The Saints have evolved as a defense. Different than when Jenkins was there. The Saints offense has changed since Sproles left.

Coach Kelly: Not containing Darren Sproles on that kickoff was a turning point in that 2013 playoff game against New Orleans.

On the state of the team:

Kelly: We don't make excuses or allow others to make excuses for us.

Coach Kelly: The big misconception about DeMarco Murray's carries last week is that he was hurt. Didn't practice much that week.

On injuries:

Lane Johnson and Jason Peters will practice today, but to what extent remains to be seen.
