They scored 3 points against the G-men, who allow an average of 20 points per game. They scored 16 points against the New York Jets, who allow an average of 26 points per game. They scored 16 points against Chicago, who allow an average of 23 points per game. They scored 23 points against the Vikings, who are allowing 20 points per game. That's an average of 13 points per game, when opponents have been averaging 21 points per game against those same teams. Scoring 8 fewer points per game than your opponents, is bad. 13 points per game is bad.

Granted, they torched the Lions for 50+ points, but they're not scoring a lot of points. They could rebound and they might very well beat us. But the Eagles offense has been anemic.

Yeah, I'm guessing the Lions game is really skewing the numbers. But is it skewing? Should we really discredit that dominance as just a bad opponent?

I don't know the answer, and I'm inclined to be on the safe side and give Philly the benefit of the doubt. If their offense was all that bad, I don't think they would have been able to do that against Detroit.
