so far only the fans are firing KP, and you can make a strong argument that SF O is > then Philly O
Purdy > Hurts
CMC > SB
SF WR>Philly WR ( SF WR caught the ball when thrown)
at best the OL are a push

The answer when someone says explain it to me like I'm 5.
Oh AJ, he's a dick.
Total team and coaching let down. I haven't been a fan of their OC all season. Odd play calling and it always seemed Hurts had about 4 seconds to call the play.
AJ Brown has to go.
Cooper D had a very quiet game as well.
They will need some DL and DE's in the draft or trades. If anyone would give up anything for him AJ would be my trade bait.
Guess we'll see what the Steelers can do tonight. I'm not expecting much so that means they will probably win.
Oh and how much fun was watching Harbs implode? Guess he can''t win unless he cheats.
As a non-Eagles fan, I see them as having a few issues. Hurts is a good but not great QB. It is harder to win that way. Last season they had an otherworldly performance from SB. The problem is that stats usually back up that a RB with over 350 touches don't bounce back well. I would say that SB had a better year than most after that kind of workload. The oline was worse in 2025 than 2024. Looking at their snap counts everybody across the board was healthier and you lost two starters. AJ Brown is a tough one. If you can get him the ball early, he is great but not so much the longer it takes to go to him. Plus, he does drop a lot of balls. That is who he is.
It is tough playing late. It finally caught up with KC this year. Shame it went that way as I feel like it is wide open this year as there is really only two QB's I trust and that is Stafford and Allen.

We can agree to disagree. I don’t think the refs were the reason they lost, but they were typically bad. Both can be true.
Hurts avoids endorsement of Eagles OC Patullo
An endorsement of beleaguered Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo never came from Jalen Hurts on Monday, a day after last season's Super Bowl champions were knocked out of the playoffs.

It’s plain as day that Patullo was a core problem and Nick’s close relationship with him provided cover during the season.Hurts avoids endorsement of Eagles OC Patullo
An endorsement of beleaguered Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo never came from Jalen Hurts on Monday, a day after last season's Super Bowl champions were knocked out of the playoffs.
I think the Eagles players generally acted with considerable class and respect all season. But the Eagles brass will now force a change.
On second thought you are probably right. I thought Sirianni was officiating when the refs waived off an illegal man downfield which wiped out an Eagles TD after he complained.
Look at this year’s offensive rankings compared to other Sirianni teams. They were significantly worse almost across stat categories.
Sure, Nick runs some basic schemes, but Patullo did nothing to dress them up or improve them the way Moore and Steichen did.
Sometimes the obvious and convenient excuse is the reason for failure.
again putting on Patullo is taking the easy way out. Some of the 'untouchables' like Stout had more to do with it, imo, maybe a lot more. Then the fans just start jumping on a guy when they know nothing, then the writers and you got some real problems
Look:
For the 2024 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles' passing offense ranked low, around
29th in Passing Yards per Game (187.9) but showed better efficiency in other metrics, ranking 18th in Completion %, 14th in Yards/Pass, and 12th in Passing DVOA, indicating a run-heavy or less productive aerial attack despite overall good team stats.
1 is the problem. I love him but if they resign him I’ll be not on board. Fix the run game, draft his replacement 2 years in a row, hire an old head OC who will stay alongside Vic F
I mostly agree. Hurts is not a great pocket passer. He is best when is a running threat, and this season he rushed for only 421 yds and 8 TDs vs 630 yds and 14 TDs last season (similar in previous seasons). The Eagles either need to work in more QB rushing or move on from Hurts in the next few years. To me, he was the main issue with the offense this season, but I don't think Patullo made things any better. Nick is no Shanahan and he needs an above average OC. I'd put the OL as the third culprit, but part of that had to do with LJs absence.
I mostly agree , there's nothing worse than seeing 1 drifting to his right, especially when he doent turn his shoulders to the LOS. I dont think LJ being out made that much of a difference. Now has he played his last game with the Eagles? Resign Fred save LJ salary and use that to sign Dean, and Blankenship.
Well, I would hate to see LJ go, but it's going to happen sometime in the next few years. He's 35 and can't have that much left in the tank. Any other massive Aussie ballers that we can draft?
I am not sure it will be this year. I found this site to be interesting. Leads me to believe AJ will be back...

The issue is the OC’s job is to maximize the roster he has, including getting the most from Hurts. That didn’t happen this year, but did to a much greater extent last season.
The roster is what it is on offense and it’s one of the best in the league. You can change OCs way easier than QB1 with the huge $ involved.
I like the “old OC” like Fangio idea. Some wisdom and experience (and maturity) would go a long way on offense next year. Then you see if a new OC can get more from Hurts and Co.
It will be a BITTER PILL if Howie has to eat another QB1 contact with Hurts and looming mega extensions coming on D.
Howie’s approach to cap mgmt only works when guys remain on the roster. Those voidable years obliterate the cap otherwise.
And you’re right…Howie isn’t taking a $50M cap hit to move AJ. That won’t even be discussed.
