Eagles All-Pro Shares Thoughts On Controversial OC After Loss

The Philadelphia Eagles experienced their most embarrassing moment of the past two years when they fell to the New York Giants on Thursday night by a three-score margin, 34-17.

As the Giants shut out Philadelphia’s attack in the second half, and put up a massive 21 unanswered points, fingers have started to be pointed towards Eagles offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo.

The Eagles have been receiving calls on social media to fire Patullo since Thursday night’s poor display, which saw quarterback, Jalen Hurts put up decent numbers, 24/33 for 283 yards with both one touchdown and interception apiece, despite the team struggling to convert it into points.

Although much of the negative energy surrounding Philly’s offense, both in the passing and running game, one player has emphatically come out in support of his offensive coordinator: All-Pro wideout, AJ Brown.

“He’s non stop. I think honestly he’s doing an amazing job.” Brown said to the media post-game when asked about the kind of job Patullo is doing in his first year as offensive coordinator. “He’s trying to get us the ball and talking about things that we may say, and ideas that he has – there is nonstop communication. I know he is getting a lot of scrutiny, but I think he is doing a good job in keeping this thing going.

Much of this was initially overshadowed on Thursday night when Brown said he “did not recall” the contents of a meeting that occurred between Hurts, reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Saquon Barkley and himself after the team’s week 5 loss to the Denver Broncos last Sunday.

And, whilst Brown cleared up much of the noise circulating about the implications of those comments on Friday, these comments singing Patullo’s praise bring the burden of responsibility back to him and the other players holding up the offense.

What Is The Solutions For The Eagles’ Offensive Woes?

The stats themselves don’t look too horrendous on the face of it, but there were clear, critical moments in the game that once again got the best of the Eagles.

Case in point, on 3rd and 6 with 12 minutes to go in the third quarter, Devonta Smith found himself wide open at midfield on a go route, due to a Giants busted coverage, as they trailed to the Giants by four points.

Hurts overthrew the former Alabama wideout by around a yard or so on what would have otherwise been a go-ahead touchdown, as Philadelphia settled for a punt – sacrificing seven points at a critical juncture of the game.

But it is not just Hurts and the passing game that is not firing properly on a consistent basis.

Saquon Barkley’s comparatively impressive 12 rushes for 58 yards on Thursday was his second highest yards-per-carry game of the season, at 4.8, on which he has averaged through week 6 just 3.4 – a career low, barring his 19-carry injury-marred, write-off year in 2020.

Hurts as well has not been the rushing force he has made himself out to be in the past, managing just 13 yards on 7 attempts on Thursday night.

Things are not in the dire stages yet, but head coach Nick Sirianni and Patullo will have to come up with answers quickly if they are to avoid further fan and media ire.

BREAKING NEWS: Las Vegas Raiders Quarterback Geno Smith Stuns Passengers with Selfless Gesture on Flight, Moves Everyone to Tears

The NFL world has been buzzing after Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith made a heartwarming and unexpected gesture on a commercial flight that has left both passengers and flight attendants speechless. Known for his leadership on the field, Smith has now proven that his impact extends beyond the game, with a simple yet powerful act of kindness that touched the hearts of everyone around him.

As the plane prepared for takeoff, Smith, who was seated in first class, noticed an elderly woman struggling with her luggage in the aisle. Without a second thought, he stood up and offered to help. After assisting her with her bags, Smith noticed she was sitting alone and seemed to be having trouble settling into her seat. Without hesitation, he offered to move to a less comfortable seat in the back of the plane to make her feel more at ease.

The woman, overwhelmed by the gesture, tried to decline, but Smith insisted. “It’s the least I can do,” he said with a smile. The passengers around them watched in awe as Smith’s selfless act of kindness unfolded. “It was one of those moments that make you realize the kind of person he is,” said one passenger. “Here’s this famous athlete, giving up his comfort for a complete stranger, and doing it all without making a scene.”

But Smith’s actions didn’t stop there. As the flight continued, he quietly approached the elderly woman again, this time with a surprise. He handed her a signed Raiders jersey and said, “For someone who has seen so much and given so much, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Thank you for everything.” The woman was moved to tears, as were many of the passengers who witnessed the exchange.

“This was more than just a jersey,” the woman later shared. “It was the fact that he treated me like a person, not just a fan. He made me feel seen, and that’s something I’ll never forget.”

Flight attendants, who had observed the entire scene, were equally touched. “We see so many people get on and off flights, but this—this was something special,” one attendant remarked. “Geno Smith’s act of kindness really restored our faith in humanity. It wasn’t for the cameras. He did it because it was the right thing to do.”

Smith’s gesture quickly went viral, with fans from across the NFL expressing their admiration for his humility and generosity. “Geno Smith is showing us what real leadership looks like, both on and off the field,” one fan tweeted. “We need more athletes like him, who use their platform for good.”

As the Raiders continue their 2025 campaign, Geno Smith has proven that leadership isn’t just about throwing touchdowns. It’s about making a positive difference in people’s lives, and his actions on that flight will be remembered long after the season ends.
