What is wrong with Eagles offense? Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown speak after loss

Philadelphia EaglesThe offense has struggled to find its footing six games into the 2025 season. Even amid Philadelphia's 4-0 start, the Eagles faced questions about their ability to move the ball with a disjointed passing attack and a rushing approach that looked significantly less explosive than last season.

Those criticisms have only gotten louder as Philadelphia has suffered two straight losses in the last five days. His the last setback was a 34-17 loss. in hands New York Giants team that entered Thursday Night Football with a 1-4 record.

The Eagles have scored just 34 points combined over the past two weeks and have yet to top 20 points in half of their games. Even before his current losing streak, Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown posted a mysterious Bible verse on social media this seemed to indicate dissatisfaction with the current offensive situation. He later denied that the post was directed at anyone associated with Philadelphia.

However, both defenders Jalen Hurts and run back Saquon Barkley claimed they met with Brown to discuss how to correct the offense. Brown also denied that these meetings took place.

“I don’t remember a single meeting,” Brown said after the loss to the Giants. “I don't know what you're talking about.”

Brown did have one of his best games of the season against New York, making six catches for 80 yards.

However, Barkley did not do this. 2024 NFL The Offensive Player of the Year continued to struggle with just 12 carries for 58 yards. He scored 31 of those yards on his first two touches of the game. Barkley is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry after leading the league in rushing and yards from scrimmage as Philadelphia's bellman last season.

“Do you think we were predictable last year?” Barkley said Thursday night. “Everyone knew we had the ball. And yet we succeeded. I think we also need to get back to that attitude, that mindset where we don't actually care about what people are trying to do.”

Philadelphia currently ranks 29th in the NFL with 274.5 rushing yards per game. The Eagles are also one of eight NFL teams averaging less than 100 yards per game.

“We all have to do better. It’s true,” Barkley said. “If anyone else thinks otherwise, then in my opinion it’s time for them to wake up soon.”
