Overview
- Nick Sirianni said he has not considered taking play-calling from first-year coordinator Kevin Patullo and will not make that change now.
- Philadelphia’s 24-21 loss to the Cowboys included a blown 21-point lead and zero second-half points, sharpening focus on the sputtering offense.
- Former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles criticized the scheme as too simplistic and said the timing and creativity of the play-calling have been lacking.
- Coaches and analysts cited multiple factors behind the slump, including Lane Johnson’s absence, offensive line inconsistency, Jalen Hurts’ hesitance, Saquon Barkley’s reduced burst, penalties, and turnovers.
- Sirianni referenced the 2023 Sean Desai midseason demotion as a cautionary tale and warned a late switch could disrupt operations during a short week, as the roster also absorbed Drew Mukuba’s fractured leg that requires surgery.
