There may be a lot of different analyses about the Philadelphia Eagles after the offense epically failed on the biggest stage again this season, after the 23-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Wild Card game.
The failures were found in the second half, like usually this season, as they had just 114 yards and six points as a unit. Another big complaint was the play calling and how they kept running the same plays over and over again.
While on ESPN's Get Up, NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky shared his thoughts on the Eagles' offense and how they look. Orlovsky was not shy about taking them down a notch or a million with his criticism.
"That was a total embarrassment from Philly offensively. We all saw it coming. We've talked about it all season long. The fact that they didn't see it coming is concerning. Yes, there's going to be changes, but Howie Roseman, their general manager, has to be sitting back and going 'Wait, wait, wait. This is a roster I put together that should no question have contended for another Super Bowl.' I understand everyone took their turns not making plays. A.J. (Brown) didn't make a play on any ball down the field, DeVonta (Smith) had the ball dropped late, their offensive line got beat on a consistent basis."
Dan Orlovsky was incredibly harsh, but fair about Eagles' offense in the loss
Orlovsky is 100% on the fact that the coaching staff does not see the same things as everyone else, which is a big problem. While Patullo will get all the blame, that is more about head coach Nick Sirianni, who allowed it to happen.
Sirianni did take action last month and got more involved in the game planning. That really didn't help too much as the same problems kept popping up with the Eagles.
This is most likely the end of Patullo in Philadelphia, as ESPN's Adam Schefter has already reported that changes are on the horizon for the offensive staff. While it is unclear whether that refers to Patullo, it is probably safe to assume it includes him.

Philly's offense has been in the bottom 15 in every offensive statistical category, the first time in Sirianni's tenure. Something has to change, and it starts with Patullo.
