Eagles’ Offensive Woes Deepen as Kevin Patullo Era Continues to Disappoint
It’s been a tough stretch for the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense in 2025, and the issues aren’t just showing up on Sundays. Even when the Birds aren’t on the field, the ripple effects of their offensive struggles are being felt around the league - and not in a good way.
Let’s start with Thursday Night Football, where the Dallas Cowboys took a 44-30 loss to the Detroit Lions. Rookie cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. was thrown straight into the deep end - and the Lions didn’t hesitate to test him.
The results weren’t pretty. Revel was targeted early and often, and Detroit’s Jameson Williams made him look like he was still playing college ball - not in the NFL, but back in the SEC against overmatched opponents.
Revel’s rough night stood in stark contrast to his earlier performances this season, where he had allowed just five catches for 61 yards across 89 coverage snaps against the Raiders, Eagles, and Chiefs. But Detroit’s offense, led by a relentless Dan Campbell game plan, had no trouble exposing the rookie. And that’s where the Eagles’ struggles come back into focus.
Kevin Patullo's Offense Still Searching for an Identity
Philadelphia’s offense, under coordinator Kevin Patullo, has yet to find its rhythm - or even a clear identity. It’s not just the stats or the scoreboard.
It’s the visible frustration from stars like A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, who’ve made it clear that fans shouldn’t expect big fantasy numbers from them right now.
That’s not just a fantasy football problem - it’s a red flag for a unit that, on paper, should be one of the most explosive in the league.
Jalen Hurts has become increasingly one-dimensional in recent weeks. Defenses are keying in on his tendencies, and while Saquon Barkley has helped mask some of the issues with a recent uptick in production, the underlying problems remain.
This offense doesn’t look cohesive. It doesn’t look dangerous.
It looks stuck.
And that’s a problem for a team that’s still just one game out of first place in the NFC. Success in the standings has kept the Eagles from making a change so far, but the frustration is bubbling over in Philadelphia - and with good reason. This is a team built to contend for a Super Bowl, yet the offense is holding it back.
The Sirianni Decision Looms Large
Head coach Nick Sirianni is now at a crossroads. He’s already brought the franchise significant success, but his decision to hand the keys to Patullo after Kellen Moore left for the Saints is looking more questionable by the week.
Sirianni now faces a critical decision: Does he stick with Patullo and hope the offense turns a corner? Does he take over play-calling himself? Or does he make a more drastic move and shake up the coaching staff entirely?
Whatever he chooses, it’s going to have major implications - not just for this season, but for the Eagles’ championship window. Because right now, with a roster this talented, anything short of contending feels like a missed opportunity. And if the offense doesn’t get back on track soon, that window could start closing faster than anyone in Philly wants to admit.
