Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown isn't mincing words when it comes to the team's offense, and neither are fans. After a frustrating 7-2 start to the season, with only one game against the Packers going over expectations, many are starting to wonder if this team is truly as dominant as they thought.
Brown, who has been vocal about his frustrations on social media and in interviews, simply stated that he's not contributing to the team's success as he wants, and that frustration is starting to boil over. While it's easy to point fingers at Brown for speaking out, he's right – the Eagles' offense hasn't lived up to expectations so far this season.
The numbers tell a story: the rushing attack, which was elite last year, has gone nowhere, with the team ranking 21st in yards per game. The passing game has had some moments, but it's also struggled to be as threatening as expected, with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert being the only constants.
Brown is right that this isn't just about him, though – the entire offense needs to step up its game if the Eagles want to win another Super Bowl. The problem runs deep, from uninspired playcalling to heavy protection of the quarterback by Jalen Hurts. Whatever the reason, it's clear that something needs to change.
The clock is ticking for the Eagles to turn things around. With a heavyweight Detroit Lions team on Sunday night, they'll need to get their act together if they want to stay in contention. If not, this talented roster will be left wondering what could have been.
Brown's frustration is valid – he wants to win and make an impact, just like everyone else in that locker room. The question is: can the Eagles' offense rise to the occasion before it's too late?
