Kevin Patullo's first season as the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator certainly hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows.

The embattled coordinator has experienced his fair share of criticism as the Eagles' previously high-octane offense has sputtered and stalled, but some fans took it too far early Saturday morning when they threw eggs at Patullo's New Jersey home.

Wednesday, Patullo spoke to the media for the first time since the incident. He had every right to be angry, but instead, he took the high road.

"At this point, we're ready to focus on winning the game," Patullo said. Unfortunately, it happened."

It appears that the vandalism incident hasn't soured Patullo's view on the greater Philadelphia community. He remarked that his five years on the Eagles coaching staff have been "awesome."

"This is such a unique place to coach and play. It's very special," Patullo said. "We've been to two NFC Championship Games, we've won at Lincoln Financial (Field), a Super Bowl, the parade. It's just an amazing atmosphere to be a coach and player. And as coaches and players, we all know that part of our job is to handle criticism."

Patullo has certainly shouldered much of the blame for the Eagles' offensive woes. Under his watch, the NFL's 2nd-ranked rushing game in 2024 has fallen to 22nd-ranked in 2025. Eagles fans have loudly voiced their displeasure, mostly in harmless formats like chanting during games and campaigning for Patullo's firing via an electronic sign down at the Sports Complex.

But Saturday morning's house-eggers took it too far, and Patullo is well aware of that.

"It's perfectly acceptable to sit up here and talk about what's going on, how to fix it, what we're going to do going forward, and we know that," Patullo said." But when it involves your family, obviously it crosses the line. So that happened, and at this point, we just have to move on. We're trying to win."

Patullo said that even though the incident occurred at his family's New Jersey residence, he and his family are still comfortable within their community.

"Us as a family, we know we have to stick together. To be honest, there's a lot of great people in the community," Patullo said. "I have great neighbors. So many people have reached out to my wife and I, and our family. It's not one specific person. It happened, and we just have to move on from it at this point. 

"We've had a great experience here in Philadelphia, and it's a very special, unique place to work. I look forward to all the more games we have, and finishing strong with the season."

Unique, indeed.
