There is a loud conversation in Philadelphia after the Eagles suffered a second straight loss, as the Chicago Bears delivered it to them on Black Friday.
The Eagles' offense looked horrible for the first two and a half quarters, with 62 yards total in the first six drives of the game and two turnovers in the contest. Of course, all the blame is going to offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo.
Philly made their voices heard in the crowd at Lincoln Financial Field with chants for the Eagles to fire their offensive coordinator. After the game, though, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said he would evaluate everything in the organization, but made sure it wasn't all on Patullo.
"We'll evaluate, obviously, everything. But as I've said, when you win or lose, it's never about one person. We all collectively have to do a better job. That starts with us as coaches, it starts with me. I put it on me most individually. We all have to look internally and get better as coaches and players."
One Eagles reporter later followed up, asking to clarify his statement on evaluating everything and whether that meant changing Patullo as the play caller. Eagles fans, please skip the next part.
“We’re not changing the play caller.”

What does Sirianni need to happen for something to change?
This is an Eagles offense that ran the ball for just 87 yards on 17 carries, even though the running game worked on early downs. Some of the play calls were questionable, including, again, the predictable hitch routes. That two-point conversion call, though, could have easily been a QB draw and not whatever pass call that was.
Yes, the players deserve part of the blame for the offense struggling, including A.J. Brown's false start penalty on the first drive for the second straight game. There were multiple times when the Eagles had a nice four to five-yard run on first down, but a penalty or negative play would drive them back behind the sticks.
Ultimately, though, the failures of this offense have to fall on Patullo. They are getting worse and worse every week, to the point where the unit's confidence is completely shattered, similar to what happened in 2023.
Would firing Patullo do anything at this point? Probably not, but Sirianni taking over as the play caller might change things up, and honestly really needs to happen even if that makes Eagles fans nervous with Sirianni's recent questionable decisions.

A change must be made, but that's probably not coming until the offseason, or if Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie call Sirianni into their office this week or next to force a change.
