The Philadelphia Eagles lost in the wild card round last season a year after winning the Super Bowl, especially because the offensive production was not 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 at any time things aren't going well, and I don't want to sound like I'm in an interview, but it's the truth. It's execution, which is saying the right play at the right time and not making bad plays against 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 all this up…that's all.”
It appears Eagles brass agreed with Stoutland's assessment of the team's playmaking and execution, as they fired offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. They hired former NFL quarterback Sean Mannion to replace him.
In 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. Throughout the season, the story was the team's lack of offensive production, and their playoff loss was the punctuation of their regular season struggles.
Patullo may not be the only member of the offense leaving, as star receiver AJ Brown has been embroiled in trade rumors all offseason.

Adding to the speculation, the Eagles traded 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.
Regardless of who fits at wide receiver for the Eagles, expect his playmaking and execution to be much improved by 2026.
