That's league average, and they are way more efficient that that to make up for a bend but dont break D) and a "meh" defense. That's better than average, is it not?
The Eagles scored 13 points against Green Bay, which allows an average of 17 points. They scored 12 points against us and we're allowing an average of 20 points per game (granted that stat is skewed because of New England). 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.
