Eagles' Playoff Run Will Stick to Proven Formula, Not Change Offense Approach
As the Eagles head into the postseason with a Super Bowl title defense under their belt, uncertainty surrounds the team's prospects. With weeks of unpredictability ahead, Philadelphia will need its defense to step up once again if it hopes to repeat as champions.
However, what is clear is that the team's organizational approach won't change anytime soon. The Eagles' reliance on running the ball and producing a balanced offense remains intact, even with a season that saw inconsistent results at times. Despite struggling with injuries and facing a brutal schedule, Philadelphia still managed to win 11 of 16 games, earning them the NFL's only repeat division champions.
Coach Nick Sirianni's commitment to this approach is unwavering. Wins or losses, his team will continue to try to run with authority, aim for a 12 personnel alignment, and utilize Saquon Barkley's explosive running skills as the foundation of their playbook. The loss of key players such as Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens won't deter them from trying to improve their depth on the offensive line and find more reliable tight ends.
This is not a team that deviates from its approach, even when faced with adversity. Instead, they dig in and keep trying, much like this season's 69% win clip would suggest. Winning just three fewer games last year didn't shake Sirianni's confidence in his system; it only reinforced it.
The Eagles' offense will continue to pin its fate on Barkley and the ground game against the San Francisco 49ers and any other opponents they face in the playoffs. This is who they are, and this is what they will be for the foreseeable future β a team that tries to run with authority and win the turnover battle.
In a season marked by uncertainty, one thing remains clear: the Eagles' approach won't change anytime soon.
