Eagles' Offense Under Fire as Kelce and Hurts Speak Out

The Philadelphia Eagles entered the 2025 season with one of the highest-paid offenses in the NFL, boasting a talented roster that had many expecting big things. However, despite their impressive payroll, the team’s performance on the field was underwhelming, leading to widespread criticism and scrutiny. According to sources close to the team, center Jason Kelce and quarterback Jalen Hurts have been vocal about their frustration with the way some of their issues are being perceived by fans and media alike. In a recent interview, Kelce stated that he and Hurts had discussed why they felt it was “not fair” to put all the blame on head coach Kevin Patullo, who had taken over the team mid-season. Kelce, known for his outspoken personality, expressed his opinion that the coaching staff’s in-game decisions were not solely responsible for the team’s struggles. He emphasized that the offense’s performance was a collective issue, with players contributing to both successes and failures throughout the season. Hurts also chimed in on the topic, highlighting the importance of communication within the quarterback room. “When you’ve got guys like DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert making plays every week, it takes a toll on our offense,” Hurts said. “We need to take responsibility for our own performances, rather than placing blame solely on the coaching staff.” Patullo, in response to the comments, acknowledged that his team had faced some growing pains as he worked to implement his own system and get his players settled into their roles. While acknowledging Kelce’s frustration with being blamed individually, Patullo emphasized that he was committed to working with Hurts and Kelce to find solutions moving forward. As the Eagles look to rebuild and retool for next season, it’s clear that addressing these issues will be crucial to their success. With a renewed focus on communication and accountability, the team is poised to make a stronger showing in 2026.
