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.

. I mean, you look at the numbers and you're like "wait, what happened to Jalen Hurts?" 
. He should be torching defenses left and right, but instead he's just not doing it. And Saquon Barkley? The guy who was a game-changer in Buffalo is now just a shell of his former self 
. It's like they lost their mojo or something.
. They're supposed to be the backbone of the offense, but instead they're struggling to protect Hurts and create some space for him to work with. And penalties? Ugh, it's like they're just giving away yards left and right 
.
. But seriously, what went wrong this season? Was it just one of those years where everything clicks... or not?
They've got talent pouring out of every pore, but somehow it just ain't translating on the field 
I mean, Jalen Hurts is a super talented QB, and Saquon Barkley's like a running back god 
️, so what's going on? Did they just lose their mojo or something? 
And don't even get me started on the penalties – it's like they're trying to make it hard for themselves 
, but maybe we need to dig a little deeper and see if there's some underlying issue that's causing this regression 
they had all the talent and resources, but it just isn't clicking 
️
I mean, what's going on with their line? 
I'm all for a new OC, maybe that's the answer 
. Jalen Hurts is a total bust right now - I mean, he's been decent before, but not this year 
.
. And have you seen the penalties on that line?! 
. Maybe there was a miscommunication or a lack of trust between players and coaches that's causing this regression. Either way, it's gotta get fixed ASAP 
.
But seriously, what's going on with Jalen Hurts? He's a talented QB and all, but he just isn't putting it together this season. And Saquon Barkley is usually the one who takes over games, but not this year... 
. I'm curious to see what changes will be made in the offseason, maybe a new OC can bring some life back to this offense 
. And Saquon Barkley, dude's a beast 
... you'd think with all that talent, they'd be able to move the chains more often 
.
. You've got all these superstars on the team, but they can't even put together a decent game plan. I mean, what's going on with Jalen Hurts? He's supposed to be the leader of that offense, but he's been playing like a guy who's lost his touch 
.
. They need a reboot, stat! 
.
. Plus, Saquon Barkley is still one of the top backs in the league, so that's not entirely on him either 
. Let's just say I'm keeping my fingers crossed for next season! 
, and I'm still on a high from trying all that crazy delicious food 
. Have you ever been to Japan? It's like a whole different world there! The streets are so clean, the people are so polite... it's like living in a dream 
. I swear, I gained 5 pounds just walking around Harajuku 
. we need someone who can get these guys clicking before this offense implodes completely
