Here are Philadelphia Eagles fans again reading about the criticisms of the offense and how the running game. Eagles fans thought they had passed this.
During Week 10's 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers, the Eagles regressed significantly in the running game, rushing for just 111 yards at an average of 3.3 yards per carry. That includes Eagles running back Saquon Barkley struggling to get anything going with his 22 carries for 60 yards with an average of 2.7 yards per carry.
When the media was huddled up in front of his locker room, Barkley, just like every other week, was asked about the running game issues. Barkley's frustration was showing as he knows the offense has to improve with that.
"Being honest, we have to do a better job of adjusting. That's something we're focusing on — trying to find new ways to get the run game going. Not just the run game going, get the offense going, being consistent. It starts with all of us, from top to bottom."

Remember rushing for 276 yards in Week 8 against the New York Giants? All that momentum was lost within two weeks of being off.
The Eagles are now ranked 21st in the NFL in rushing yards per game with 111.6. Barkley isn't even in the top 10 in rushing yards (579) or rushing touchdowns (four). He actually ranks 144th in rushing yards per carry with 3.9.
Technically, the numbers are improving after weeks of the offense averaging less than 100 rushing yards per game, but they are still well below the average where they need to be. So, what's going on that the offense can get the running game going?
Simply put, the creativity isn't there for the Eagles. Offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has become too predictable with his play-calling, to the point where defenses know what's coming next.

Barkley is barely on pace to hit the 1,000-yard mark on the season, which to most would be a great season, but his standards are higher than everyone else's. Patullo had better figure something out because he's on the hot seat with the city of Philadelphia.
