The Philadelphia Eagles lost in the Wild Card round last season, a year after winning the Super Bowl, in part because the offensive production was nowhere near the same.
Former Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, who announced he was leaving the organization in February, said it’s not hard to see where things went wrong.
“I think every time things don’t go well, and I don’t want to sound like I’m in an interview, but it’s the truth. It’s execution, it’s calling the right play at the right time, and not throwing bad plays into bad defenses,” Stoutland said during a recent appearance on “New Heights.”

“I mean, it’s not that hard. I’m not going to sit here and make this up…that’s about it.”
It appears Eagles leadership agrees with Stoutland’s assessment of the team’s play and execution, as they have fired offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. They hired former NFL quarterback Sean Mannion to replace him.
During the Eagles’ Super Bowl winning season, they scored 29 points per game (tied for fourth in the NFL), averaged 366 yards per game (eighth in the NFL), and rushed for 184.1 yards per game (second in the NFL).

Last season was a much different story, as they scored 22.1 points per game (19th in the NFL), averaged 311 yards per game (24th in the NFL), and rushed for 118.2 yards per game (16th in the NFL).
The Eagles managed to win the NFC East at 11-6, but lost to the San Francisco 49ers 23-19 in the NFC Wild Card round. The storyline throughout the season was the team’s lack of offensive production, and their playoff loss was the culmination of their regular season struggles.
Patullo may not be the only member of the offense going, as star wide receiver AJ Brown has found himself in trade rumors all offseason.

Adding to the speculation, the Eagles traded for Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks in addition to using their first-round pick on wide receiver Makai Lemon. The additions of Wicks and Lemon have led fans to believe the Eagles are preparing their wide receiver room to be without Brown.
No matter who fills the wide receiver position for the Eagles, they hope their play and execution is much improved for 2026.
