Former Saints WR Michael Thomas credits Drew Brees with predicting Philadelphia Eagles' downfall on offense this season

Thomas is pointing to the fact that Philadelphia is winless since these comments from Brees. The offense was absolutely boring when they started 4-0 out of the gates, but there is a clear difference between that unit for Philly compared to a season ago. Now, as the struggles become more of a trend and the injuries stack on defense, the lackluster offense is partially costing them games.

Philadelphia is proving Brees correct with lackluster production and frustration

Since his comments, the output for Jalen Hurts' offense has been less than ideal. The Eagles have scored 17 points in back to back weeks. In both matchups, their offense completely disappeared in the second half, basically. Against Denver, the Eagles scored seven points in the second half. Against new York, they were held scoreless.

It is also worth noting that the entire NFL world reacted at once when the Eagles ran four straight tush push plays in order to score in the second quarter against the G-Men. After that sequence, they never scored another point. Not a great look.

The reality is that Hurts' ability to push the ball to the sidelines and down the field have been put to the test recently, with the running game being slowed. He hasn't proven himself to be able to leap to that challenge, particularly when it matters most. The Eagles QB threw a back-breaking interception in the second half against New York, and his duo with A.J. Brown isn't running on all cylinders, whatsoever.

We will see if the coaching staff and offensive playmakers for the Eagles can make adjustments. For now, though, Brees looks a lot smarter for his "boring" take on their unit, compared to when they were undefeated to start the year.
