The engine of a brand-new sports car is supposed to purr. Instead, after four weeks, the Eagles' offense sounds like it’s knocking. It’s a disorienting sound for a fanbase that expects a smooth ride to the playoffs. They are 4-0, cruising down the NFL highway. But everyone inside the car can feel the vibration.
Eagles legend Jason Kelce officially rang the alarm. He joined the _94WIP Morning Show_ to dissect the issues. _**"The offense isn't functioning well right now,"**_ Kelce stated. He pinpointed the core problem immediately. _**"It's hit or miss."**_ He then delivered a stunning comparison for a unit with so much talent. He acknowledged that key players like Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown _**"haven’t been meaningful parts of it."**_ The diagnosis was in. The undefeated team has a serious illness.
Kelce specifically [addressed the Brown social media drama](https://insidetheiggles.com/a-j-brown-crosses-the-line-with-fiery-response-to-eagles-legend-s-criticism). He understood the frustration but questioned the method. _**"I wish he probably would have done it in a different way,"**_ Kelce said. However, he firmly sided with his former teammate’s intent. He passionately defended Brown's character.
_**"Having known AJ Brown, the great teammate that he is, I love the guy,"**_ Jason added_**.**_ Ultimately, Kelce believes the solution is simple. Get the ball to your stars. _**"The Eagles should find a way to involve A.J. Brown,"**_ he asserted. Now, the numbers are jarring.
The Eagles rank 30th in yards per game. They are 29th in yards per rushing attempt. This is not the identity of a team with Super Bowl aspirations. It is a complete reversal from their historic 2024 run. The offensive line, a perennial strength, has been a shadow of its former self. Injuries to Lane Johnson and others have disrupted their rhythm. Left tackle Jordan Mailata summed it up perfectly.
_**"It's as simple as one block away,"**_ Mailata said. _**"Somebody not executing. Those are things we can fix because of the people we have in the room and in the locker room."**_ So, how is this team still perfect?
Their defense and special teams have been clutch. They are winning the turnover battle. Kelce pushed back hard on one proposed fix. _**"I disagree that being more risky with the football is the way to involve these playmakers more,"**_ he argued. He believes they can scheme up touches without forcing dangerous throws. The record proves they are doing something right, even if it's ugly.
Philadelphia Eagles: A House of Cards or a Work in Progress?

Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo faces the heat. He spoke to reporters, offering his assessment. He conceded the offense has looked different. _**"It has looked different this year compared to last year,"**_ Patullo admitted. He pointed to the tough defenses they’ve faced. He also framed the struggles as a learning opportunity. _**"It’s been a good learning process for us now as a coaching staff,"**_ Patullo explained. His plan is to grow from this early adversity. Meanwhile, Brown’s competitive fire still burned.
He explained the source of his frustration. _**"If you don’t get targets, and you don’t see the ball for half the game, two hours, man, it’s hard to stay engaged,"**_ Brown said. He then made his case plainly. _**"I don’t think it’s a bad thing to want the ball,"**_ Brown stated. He sees himself as a solution. _**"Give it to me. I’m going to open up the game."**_

The road ahead presents an opportunity for self-correction. Their next four opponents all have losing records. They must find a way to merge their explosive potential from one half with consistency in another. This is their runway to fix the mechanics. The goal is clear. The Eagles are 4-0, but they are chasing greatness, not just goodness.
