PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles were booed time and time again on Friday, and it’s hard to blame those at Lincoln Financial Field for letting their frustrations fly.

The Eagles lost again in ugly fashion, this time to the Chicago Bears, 24-15, on Friday.

It was Philadelphia’s second loss in the last five days. The Eagles (8-4) blew a 21-0 lead and collapsed in an embarrassing loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Here’s who and what was to blame for the Eagles’ latest deflating defeat.

Kevin Patullo

I don’t know how the Eagles continue this season with Patullo as the play-caller. The first-year offensive coordinator has been the subject of fans’ ire all season long, and it’s been justified. But on Friday in particular, Patullo’s lack of play-calling chops was on full display opposite Bears head coach and play-caller Ben Johnson, who had Chicago in rhythm and on schedule.

Philadelphia, meanwhile, was a mess. After failing to score on eight consecutive drives to close the Cowboys loss, the Eagles went six straight drives without a touchdown to start Friday’s game. They had four three-and-outs, adding to their NFL-leading tally. At halftime, they had two first downs and 83 yards to Chicago’s 16 first downs and 222 yards.

It was an ugly offensive performance, worthy of every last boo at the Linc.

Nick Sirianni

Ultimately, Patullo is Sirianni’s guy. Sirianni is the one who hired him, and he’s the one who has refused to hand off play-calling duties to someone else. Sirianni also has a say in what this Eagles’ offense looks like in the game-planning portion of the week. He deserves just as much blame as Patullo, if not more, for how this offense has performed through 12 games.

Jalen Hurts

This was Hurts’ worst performance of the season. The scrutinized quarterback completed 19 of 34 passes for 230 yards — and that stat line looks far better thanks to garbage time against Chicago’s prevent defense. Hurts missed open receivers. He threw a bad interception, heaving up a prayer only for it to be picked off by former Eagles safety Kevin Byard. And he fumbled on a tush push, allowing Nahshon Wright to come in from the side and punch it free.

The tush push fumble was particularly brutal. The Eagles had the ball, down 10-9, in Chicago territory after a Jalyx Hunt interception. But instead of capitalizing and taking a lead — with a field goal or a touchdown — Hurts gave the ball away. Sloppy and inexcusable.

Run game

Another game, another ho-hum rushing day from the Eagles’ offense. Saquon Barkley was limited to 56 yards on 13 carries. Take out the 15-yard run he had, and Barkley managed only 3.4 yards per carry. The Eagles had 87 total rushing yards on 17 carries, which was boosted by a 23-yard designed run by Hurts. Take that out, and the Eagles managed 4.0 yards per carry. Tank Bigsby didn’t get a touch. The line didn’t block well enough. Rinse and repeat.

Run defense

Every time the Bears threw the ball they were giving a gift to the Eagles’ defense. Because Chicago was running it down their throats. D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai gashed the Birds for 255 combined rushing yards on 40 carries, averaging 6.4 yards per attempt. That’s by far the most rushing yards Philadelphia has given up in the Vic Fangio era.

The Eagles had a few stops at or behind the line of scrimmage. But for the most part, the front was either being blown off the ball or being trapped out of the play, giving Swift and Monangai plenty of room to operate. And on a windy day when both passing games struggled, that was the difference. The Bears could run the ball, and the Eagles could not.
