The Eagles' offense has been a laughingstock this season, with several metrics that are hard to believe given the team's talent and resources. They scored just 842 points in 2025, ranking them 10th in the league, while nine other teams, including two that didn't even make the playoffs, scored more. The Eagles' yardage total also fell from eighth in 2023 to 24th this season, with only one team - Dallas - outgaining them by over 700 yards.
But what's most shocking is how far they've regressed given their talent and spending. Jalen Hurts, a quarterback who should be the focal point of any offense, has been underwhelming, while Saquon Barkley, one of the highest-paid running backs in the league, hasn't been able to take over games like he did in Buffalo.
The Eagles' line, which includes two Pro Bowlers, should be able to protect Hurts and clear a path for him. Instead, they've been plagued by penalties, particularly on third downs, where they've converted just 37% of the time this season - an 11-percentage drop from last year. Even teams that haven't made the playoffs in years have had better conversion rates.
The numbers get even worse when you look at yards per play (YPOP), which averaged a meager 5.43 for the Eagles in 2025, ranking them 16th in the league. That's lower than several mediocre teams, including the 2012 Birds team that finished with one of the worst offenses in NFL history.
The question is, what went wrong? Was it a lack of cohesion among players and coaches, or was there something more fundamental at play? The search for an answer starts with a new offensive coordinator.
