Part 6/10:
The offensive struggles are compounded by a faltering running game. Saquon Barkley has been significantly less productive this year, reflecting possible scheme issues and an underwhelming offensive line. Their points per game barely scratch the bottom half of the league, despite having a talented roster.
Defensively, they were thoroughly beaten on the ground—allowing over 280 yards rushing with two 100-yard rushers—an astonishing development for a traditionally physical team. This exposed vulnerabilities that need urgent attention, possibly requiring a coaching change or scheme overhaul.
