The Philadelphia Eagles are in the thick of a midseason storm - and not just on the field.
Following a frustrating Black Friday loss to the Chicago Bears, tensions in Philly have reached a boiling point. The offense, once considered among the league’s most dynamic, has sputtered through the 2025 season. And now, that frustration has spilled over in an unacceptable way: a video has surfaced allegedly showing a group of fans vandalizing the home of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo.
Let’s be clear - this crosses every imaginable line. Football is a passionate sport, and Eagles fans are known for wearing their hearts on their sleeves.
But throwing rocks at a coach’s home? That’s not passion.
That’s disgraceful. According to a Pennsylvania-based realtor, the home in question does in fact belong to Patullo, and he publicly condemned the actions of the individuals involved.
This incident comes amid one of the more puzzling collapses in recent Eagles memory. Last year, this offense was a juggernaut - led by a resurgent Saquon Barkley who rushed for over 2,000 yards and a potent connection between Jalen Hurts and A.J.
Brown. Fast forward to 2025, and the unit looks unrecognizable.
Barkley’s production has plummeted. He’s on pace to finish below 1,000 rushing yards, a dramatic drop-off from his MVP-caliber campaign just a season ago.
A.J. Brown, meanwhile, is mired in the most underwhelming stretch of his career, with reports swirling about a strained relationship with Hurts.
That chemistry - once a cornerstone of the offense - seems fractured, and the results have followed. The Eagles currently rank just 19th in scoring offense, per Pro Football Reference.
Naturally, the heat has turned toward the coaching staff, particularly Patullo, who was promoted to offensive coordinator after Kellen Moore departed to take the head coaching job with the New Orleans Saints. Moore’s one-year stint in Philly was electric - the offense hummed under his guidance. So when the Eagles chose continuity by elevating Patullo from passing game coordinator and associate head coach, expectations were sky high.
But the results haven’t matched the talent. Despite returning the same offensive core, the Eagles have struggled to find rhythm, consistency, or identity. The play-calling has come under fire, and many fans have called for head coach Nick Sirianni to make a change.
Sirianni, however, isn’t budging.
Speaking to reporters, he stood by Patullo, saying the current situation differs from the one a few years ago when he handed off play-calling duties midseason. Sirianni took ownership of the offense’s shortcomings and reaffirmed his trust in his staff, including Patullo.
It’s a bold stance, especially with the NFC East tightening. At 8-4, the Eagles still lead the division, but the 6-5-1 Dallas Cowboys are closing in. A win over the Lions and an Eagles loss to the Chargers on Monday could shrink that gap to just half a game.
This is a pivotal moment for Philadelphia. The talent is still there.
Hurts, Barkley, Brown - these are elite players capable of flipping the script. But they’ve got to find answers, and fast.
The margin for error is shrinking, and the pressure is mounting.
One thing is certain: turning on your own - especially in such an extreme, personal way - is not the answer. Eagles fans are passionate, no doubt.
But passion should never turn into personal attacks. This is still a game.
And while frustrations are valid, actions like these only serve to damage the very culture that makes Philly football special.
The Eagles need to regroup, refocus, and rediscover the identity that made them contenders. And the fans? They need to channel their energy back into what they do best - showing up, being loud, and backing their team the right way.
