Well they've had their injuries too, but T.O. has carried that team on his shoulders. Now it falls back onto McNabb who has proven for the last 3 years that he can't do it. Pinkston is now their #1 WR. Who is in charge of personell decisions over there that the best they can do at #2 is Todd Pinkston!

What this does though is let teams in the playoffs with good defenses (Atlanta, maybe Carolina, maybe Washington, etc) change the gameplan to stop Westbrook and McNabb from running. They can now stuff 8 in the box and let CBs play man coverage on the outside because the WRs wont be a threat. Now you can spy McNabb with a LB and keep him from running for 1st downs. Now you can blitz, and he fumbles the ball alot when hit from the blindside the way he holds it.

The chances of them making the playoffs aren't impossible, and the NFC is still weak enough where they are a top team. But they wont be able to go downfield and they are very one dimensional now and very beatable.
