The frustration in Philadelphia is reaching a boiling point, and it’s not just the fans who are fed up with the Eagles’ offensive struggles - now, former stars are joining the chorus.
Sunday’s 22-19 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers was another chapter in what’s become a season-long story of offensive inconsistency. The Eagles turned the ball over five times - a season high - and for the ninth straight game, they failed to crack 400 total yards.
The final blow came in overtime, when Jalen Hurts threw a costly interception that sealed the loss. It was a gut-punch ending to a game that felt all too familiar for this team.
At the center of the storm is offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, who has drawn heavy criticism for the offense’s lack of rhythm, creativity, and production. And now, one of the franchise’s all-time greats has had enough.
LeSean McCoy, the Eagles’ all-time leading rusher and a member of the team’s Hall of Fame, didn’t hold back during a segment on his Speakeasy show. His message was blunt - and emotional.
“Take me off,” McCoy said, referring to the Eagles Hall of Fame. “Nobody has ever asked.
I’m going to say, ‘Mr. Lurie, it’s either me or Kevin.’
If Kevin is not fired, put 25 back out there on the street.”
That’s not just a soundbite. That’s a former star, a face of the franchise, essentially threatening to disassociate from the team’s legacy if changes aren’t made. It’s dramatic, yes - but it speaks volumes about the level of frustration surrounding this offense.
And McCoy isn’t alone. His comments echo what many Eagles fans have been feeling for weeks: this offense, despite its star-studded lineup, simply isn’t performing.
The Eagles currently rank in the bottom 10 in total offense, passing, and rushing. That’s not what anyone expected from a unit featuring Jalen Hurts, A.J.
Brown, DeVonta Smith, and a talented offensive line.
There’s no single issue to point to - it’s been a combination of sloppy execution, questionable play-calling, and an inability to adjust in-game. Whether it’s stalling in the red zone, failing to establish the run, or turning the ball over at the worst possible moments, the Eagles have made a habit of beating themselves.
McCoy’s comments may be extreme - no one’s expecting him to actually walk away from the Eagles’ Hall of Fame - but they reflect a deeper truth: this offense has regressed, and the frustration is now spilling beyond the locker room and into the alumni circle.
The silver lining? There’s still time to right the ship.
The Eagles’ upcoming schedule offers some opportunities to get back on track. Matchups against the Raiders and two games against the Commanders could give this offense a chance to reset.
Week 17 against the Bills will be a tougher test, but with four games left, there’s still a window to build momentum heading into the postseason.
For now, though, the message is clear. Whether it’s from fans in the stands or legends in the rafters, the Eagles are being told loud and clear: this level of offensive play isn’t good enough. And unless something changes soon, that frustration is only going to grow louder.
