There's really no way to sugar coat it: The Philadelphia Eagles offensive unit has been downright abysmal over the last couple of games. The NFL analysts across all networks are keying in on the fact the offense produced zero points against the San Fransisco 49ers, and writing them off for dead.

But is the Eagles offense really doomed?

Shady's Lack of Production

Let's start with the obvious. Lesean McCoy has practically been AWOL along with the rest of the ground game that is usually one of the most dynamic in the entire league. The Eagles go into Week 5 ranked 26th in the entire league in Rushing yards per game with just 87 yards per contest. They finished first in the entire league last year with an outstanding rate of 160 yards a game. In terms of Nick Foles hasn't been nearly as efficient as he was last year, either. It was easy for someone to guess Nick Foles wouldn't be able to reproduce the efficiency of his 27-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio from a season ago, but if we look at some of his advanced metrics, we can see he's performing far worse than 2013.

On a per play basis, Foles was over five times more efficient in terms of Passing Net Expected Points in 2013 than he has been so far this season. The rate at which Foles is successfully contributing positive Net Expected Points is also down from a year ago. For comparison, last year he was only matched by elite quarterbacks, while this year he's performed worse than Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Can the Offense Get Back on Track?

The offensive line injuries are definitely going to continue being a minor drag on the offense, but with Lane Johnson coming back, the offense should see an uptick in efficiency over the next couple weeks. Mathis will be back later in the year so as long as the Eagles can tread water, they should be fine. Especially with coach Chip Kelly at the helm, Eagle fans should all take a collective breath as the Eagles should add another win to their total after this week's game against the Austin Davis-led St. Louis Rams this week.
