Mike Gill is here to analyze the disappointing performance of the Eagles against the Bears. He notes that while Kevin Patullo is not solely responsible for the offensive struggles, there appears to be a lack of confidence in him as the offensive coordinator. Nick Sirianni must recognize that his team is not rallying behind Patullo and should consider making necessary adjustments.John McMullen joins the discussion to offer his perspective on the defeat, suggesting that any potential changes would likely need to be instigated by owner Jeffrey Lurie. Together, John and Mike address the defense's inability to contain the Bears' running game and examine Jalen Hurts' struggles, which mirror the challenges faced by the entire offense.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Eagles suffered a disappointing defeat to the Bears on Black Friday, losing 24-15 in a game where their offense once again failed to perform. Defensively, they struggled significantly, allowing 281 rushing yards, which raised concerns about the team's overall identity as the season progresses. Kevin pointed out that despite having the highest-paid offense in the NFL, the Eagles have only managed to average 15 points per game in recent weeks. Shukri expressed frustration over the team's inability to establish a clear offensive identity, a recurring issue this season.Andrew DiCecco, who covered the game, provided insights into the Eagles' struggles on both offense and defense, noting that the team did not excel in any of the three phases of the game. Meanwhile, Nick Sirianni's decision-making came under scrutiny once again, with Kevin questioning why these missteps persist, especially given Sirianni's reputation for being adept in critical moments. The discussion also touched on whether the decision to fire offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo would rest with Sirianni or require intervention from the Front Office.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
