'One of the most boring offenses': Future Hall of Famer rips 3-0 Eagles

Future Pro Football Hall of Famer Drew Brees didn’t hold back his criticism when asked about the Philadelphia Eagles' offense Tuesday on ESPN’s "First Take."

“I respect Philly. They are winning games. They're finding a way to win games," said Brees, who quarterbacked the New Orleans Saints from 2006-2020. "[But] I can't stand to watch that offense; [it's] one of the most boring offenses."

Brees, who's the No. 2 QB in yards passing in NFL history, also told Stephen A. Smith that a “boring” offense could still win the Eagles a Super Bowl.

“Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely. That's the toughest division in football, too," he said of the NFC East. "[But] let's see how it plays out. If CeeDee Lamb could catch a post route in Week 1, then the Cowboys have [the Eagles] beat.”

In February, the Eagles whipped the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX.

The Eagles are a better offense than most people think

Since the start of the season, the Eagles have been the target of scrutiny, especially for their use of the tush push. The NFL narrowly rejected a ban of the play in May.

Critics have pointed to the Eagles' passing attack as a weakness so far. Philadelphia targeted star wide receiver A.J. Brown only once in the opener, a 24-20 win over Dallas. He has been targeted 18 times in the past two games.

It’s still early, as Brees stated, and even though the Eagles have not put up the gaudy offensive numbers they did last season, they are still better than most NFL offenses.

So far, the Eagles are 27th in total offense (268.7 yards per game), 29th in passing yards (146.7 yards) and 14th in rushing (122 yards). However, the Eagles are first in red-zone offense (100% touchdown rate, first in NFL).

In Week 4, the Eagles play at unbeaten Tampa Bay (3-0), the NFC South leader.
