For fans of the world champion Philadelphia Eagles, there's always going to be frustration. We've seen it plenty of times now: if the Eagles aren't clearly the best team in the NFL and aren't clicking on all cylinders, everyone is going to be upset.
However, it's also important to take a step back at times and understand that the Eagles are still in a good spot. As things currently stand, they're likely still the favorites in the entire NFL to go back-to-back.
Despite that reality, it's also important to recognize that the Eagles aren't exactly in a great spot offensively.
The offense hasn't looked good for a lot of the season, and for a team that's looking to go back-to-back, it'll obviously have to figure that out.
The Eagles defensively look to be the best team in the league, but the offense has put them in a rather rough spot in games.
When speaking to reporters about how he thinks the Eagles' offense has looked throughout the year, Kevin Patullo, the offensive coordinator of the Eagles, put it best.
“I think like everything, when you look at the situations we have sometimes, when we’re on track, we do a pretty good job,” Patullo said, per the Philadelphia Inquirer. “And if we get off track a little bit, whether it’s a negative play or a penalty, that puts us kind of in a hole. We’ve had some trouble with that.
“It starts with us as a staff to make sure we’re in a good play and we’re executing at a high level and we’re all detailed up. And then if something happens like a penalty, sometimes those happen. We’ve got to be able to overcome that.”
As he said, when the Eagles offense is clicking, there's a strong argument to be made that it is still one of the better units in the NFL.
However, the unfortunate and truthful part of the situation is that for a lot of the year, the Eagles' offense hasn't been doing that. It'll be interesting to see if he can get it to a spot where everyone feels confident, but at this point, there's plenty to figure out on that side of the football.
