There's a lot to be said about how the Philadelphia Eagles' offense has looked this year and whether the team can win when it matters most because of it.
On the surface, I'm still a firm believer that the Eagles are the best team in the NFL, and I genuinely believe that at some point, this offense is going to figure itself out.
The Eagles have too much talent on that side of the football for it not to happen.
However, it seems like some inside the building and outside of it are a lot more worried than I am. That includes former star quarterback Donovan McNabb, who went on a rant about the problems he sees in Philadelphia's offense.
"It seems like No. 1, I don't know who is listening to the crowd or listening to the radio, but that's becoming an intricate part of the decision-making each week because when you're looking at how many opportunities AJ Brown all of a sudden had in this particular game, it's really eye-opening," McNabb said on 94WIP. "Because this isn't like the offense that we've seen. A lot of his routes are soft runs at eight to 10 yards. It's a slant route or a go ball, nothing where you see him going across the middle running a dig route.
"Nothing you see of him going a route across the field with a deep post by DeVonta...I just don't see any creativity in this offense. When you don't have any creativity in this offense, you're play-action game is null and void. Because when we do run the ball with Saquon, there's no running lane.
Plenty of his points are fair as well, and I've acknowledged that in the past.
I'll never say the Eagles offense is in a good spot, because it isn't.
However, I also don't think that it's playing at the level that we all know it can.
When the Eagles truly get going, I expect this to be one of the better offenses in the NFL.
I also think it's a positive that the Eagles should be in a good spot to figure those things out towards the back end of the season, as they have a somewhat sizeable lead in the division.
