9:45pm: Sirianni has taken on a larger role in offensive meetings this week, ESPN’s Tim McManus reports. Patullo has also been present, but it will be interesting to see if a heavier hand on the part of the head coach will yield the desired results against the Chargers. If not, the Eagles’ dynamic on that side of the ball will no doubt remain a major talking point.
2:28pm: Coming out of their Week 6 bye, the Eagles felt good about their season, winning two more games against some top competition in the NFC right out the gates, but concerns were really starting to build amidst some struggles on offense. Naturally, much of the initial external blame fell to offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, but head coach Nick Sirianni was quick to defend the first-time play-caller. 
Sirianni has reportedly not been alone in his support of the first-year coordinator. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, even recently challenging wide receiver A.J. Brown has stood up, vocally, behind Patullo. When asked if a coaching change might improve the team’s recent offensive struggles, Brown called it a “crazy question.” Staying in line with the veteran receiver, the sentiment appears to be constant throughout the locker room, as Garafolo claims to see no signs of mutiny from the players.
Instead, the team has had a series of what they’ve called “no-BS discussions” in anticipation for a Monday night trip to Los Angeles, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The objective of these meetings has been to put an end to the blame game, to “stop pointing fingers.” Instead of pinning fault solely on missed throws from quarterback Jalen Hurts, the health and execution of the offensive line, careless, undisciplined penalties negating big plays, or simply, the play calling from Patullo, the team has been forced to reckon with the fact that all of these issues plaguing the reigning Super Bowl champions have jointly contributed to the offensive struggles amidst this two-game slide.
In addition to some group accountability, Sirianni hinted that actual adjustments are still happening behind the scenes. “Everything was being evaluated,” the head coach told media earlier this week (via Zach Berman of The Athletic). “We’ll think about some different things, what we want to do, scheme, everything.” The fifth-year skipper declined to go into detail on just what adjustments fans may expect to see, claiming that it probably wouldn’t “benefit” him to share.
It remains to be seen whether or not these adjustments or the team’s ability to hold everyone accountable will improve an offense that ranks 20th in points scored, 24th in total yards, and 22nd in rushing yards after ranking seventh, eighth, and second, respectively, in those categories last year. After this week’s showdown with the Chargers, a trip to Buffalo remains the only true test as a home matchup against the Raiders and a home-and-home with the Commanders should give Philadelphia a decent opportunity to get into a rhythm before the postseason.
