The Philadelphia Eagles got the best of the Green Bay Packers in a game that was anything but a work of art. More often than not, only being able to put up 10 points over four quarters is not going to be enough to get the job done in today's NFL. Fortunately for Philadelphia and Nick Sirianni, Green Bay was even more pathetic on the offensive side of things on Monday night.
In what felt like a boxing match where two counter-punchers were waiting on someone to initiate the offense, the Eagles and Packers put forth two of the more conservative approaches that we have seen on that side of the ball from any team this season. With the Eagles having two weeks to prepare for this matchup, that level of ineptitude on offense is inexcusable.
Given the amount of high-end talent on these two rosters, a 10-7 outcome was the last thing anyone expected and would have been enough for Eagles fans to give Sirianni an earful, had he not lucked out and finished the game on the winning side of the equation.
Sirianni Should Face Criticism After Eagles' Awful Offensive Performance
Kevin Patullo has been a walking, talking punching bag for fans and media alike in Philadelphia throughout the 2025 campaign, and rightfully so. While he is certainly at fault for another lackluster offensive showing on Monday night, we are well beyond the point where the offensive coordinator should be the only one facing criticism for these showings.
Sirianni went on the record in early September that he would step in to help improve what was an anemic offensive attack through the opening two weeks of the season. This is Week 10, and the trade deadline is now in the rearview mirror. At this point, the only thing that can lead to any meaningful changes on offense must come from the coaching staff, as any potential roster additions will be limited, if worthwhile at all.
So, Sirianni needs to be the one to answer the tough questions after Week 10. This is especially true following his puzzling decision to go for it on 4th and 6 rather than punting the ball away and forcing the Packers to move the ball much further than they ultimately had to in order to attempt a game-tying field goal, which Brandon McManus thankfully missed.
Being satisfied with a win despite the offense looking as terrible as it did on Monday night is not the approach that will bring Philadelphia any closer to repeating as Super Bowl champions. It is time for the Eagles' head coach to start realizing that as well.
