Eagles' Offense Falls Flat: A Post-Game Analysis
The Philadelphia Eagles' home game against the Chicago Bears was a lackluster effort from the offense, defense, and special teams. With the team's second consecutive loss, it's time to hand out awards that capture the essence of their performance.
No Pee Breaks Offense Award: Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo
The Eagles' offense is as dysfunctional as ever, holding onto the ball for a meager 33% of the game against the Bears. This was not just a matter of poor play-calling; it was a systemic issue that left the team vulnerable to Chicago's blitz packages. The 'No Pee Breaks Offense' award goes to Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo, who failed to capitalize on their limited opportunities.
Off Award: Jalen Hurts
Hurts had a decent game with 230 yards passing and two touchdowns, but he was also responsible for an interception. His inability to elevate his play when the going gets tough is a concern that needs addressing. The 'Off' award acknowledges that even in favorable conditions, Hurts left too many plays on the field.
Gone Award: The Eagles' Run Game
The Eagles' run game, which once was one of the league's best, has vanished into thin air. Saquon Barkley, who had a relatively decent performance, couldn't do it alone. His lack of explosiveness and inability to find holes in the Bears' defense raised questions about the team's play-calling.
Tush Push Award: The Eagles' Offense
Even the trusty Tush Push wasn't enough to bail out the Eagles' offense this time around. The Bears capitalized on a turnover, and the Eagles couldn't capitalize on opportunities that presented themselves. This award is not exactly a surprise, but it highlights the team's inability to execute.
Bulldozed Award: The Eagles' Run Defense
The Bears' running game was unstoppable, with Kyle Monangai and D'Andre Swift finding holes in the Eagles' defense that seemed impossible to close. The 'Bulldozed' award is a testament to how poorly the run defense performed, which ultimately led to a tough loss for the Eagles.
Thanks But No Thanks Award: The Offense, To the Defense
The Bears turned the ball over on their first drive of the game, but as usual, the Eagles couldn't capitalize. During their current streak of 10 consecutive fourth-down stops, the offense has scored just 13 points on their ensuing drives – unacceptable. This award acknowledges that even when the defense makes a crucial stop, it's not enough to win games.
No Faith Award: Nick Sirianni
Sirianni's lack of confidence in his offense is evident, which is reflected in his decision-making during the game. Running down the clock at 2:47 left on the first half was a puzzling move that wasted precious time and put pressure on the team's chances of winning.
Those Points Mattered Award: Jake Elliott
Elliott missed a PAT and a FG, which ultimately hurt the Eagles' chances of winning. The 'Those Points Mattered' award highlights the importance of consistency from special teams units.
Your Move Award: Jeffrey Lurie
The owner needs to take action – or at least make some noise about it. With 10 days between Black Friday and their next game, the Eagles can't afford to keep rolling out this subpar offense every week. Lurie must demand significant changes or face the consequences of watching his team struggle.
UH OH! Award: The Eagles' Lead in the NFC East
The Eagles are still favorites to win the division, but it's officially dicey. With only four ideal results needed from now on (an Eagles win or Cowboys loss), it's a high-risk, high-reward situation that Lurie and Sirianni must navigate carefully.
As the Eagles look ahead to their next game against the Chargers, they have an opportunity to make some changes and reclaim their footing in the NFC East. However, with a string of tough opponents on the horizon, the stakes will only increase if they don't get it together soon.

so the no pee breaks offense award is a thing now? like, literally holding onto the ball for 33% of the game? 
what's going on with that team? are they trying to make the opposing team look good by turning the ball over? 
and what's up with saquon barkley not being able to find holes in the defense? is he just not that guy anymore? 
and i feel like nick sirianni needs to get his act together as a coach, 'cause it sounds like the team is following him off a cliff 
the offense is literally holding onto the ball like it's nobody's business 33% of the game? that's crazy! i feel for jalen hurts he's trying his best but it's just not happening 
and those points mattered from Elliott's missed kicks... ugh it's like they're not even giving it their all 
what's going on with sirianni's play-calling? is he losing faith in the offense? 
any way, can't wait to see some changes at the next game 
those points mattered for sure Jake elliotts gotta step up his game 
and i feel u jeffrey lurie needs to take action like now or else we'll be stuck in this rut forever 
. I'd love to see some changes before the next game against the Chargers... can't keep relying on others to bail them out 
. The NFC East is looking shakier by the day 
.
. Time for some fresh blood in Philly, if you ask me! 
! They just can't seem to execute even when things are going their way. And what's up with all these awards for Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo? The 'No Pee Breaks Offense' award is a bit harsh, but I get it. We need some new play-calling strategies ASAP 
. We need a win or two (or three, or four...) from now on if we want to stay on top. Fingers crossed for the Chargers game! 
. It's gonna be a crazy second half of the season, but I'm rooting for these guys all the way 
!
I gotta say, this Eagles' offense is just plain frustrating. They're like a broken record - you know what's gonna happen every time, and it's not pretty 
. They need to shake things up and give Sirianni some more faith in his players. This constant lack of confidence is only making things worse 
.
