Andy Reid is a good coach and will cobble together a good plan to go on without Owens. The question is how does the team react mentally now? The Skins showed how to play this team. Pungh 'em in the mouth and most of them fold. I think they are doomed unless McNabb and Reid can pull off a miracle. Their plan all year was a quick strike type potent offense. This bolstered their sagging defense by forcing teams to throw the ball. Now they have little in the way of true downfield threats. They're only weapons are McNabb and Westbrook. Not bad weapons at all but we all know about McNabbs inability to bring them to the promise land without TO and I think Westbrook is going to have a tough time now that there will be a man freed up since the the permanent double team of TO is gone. STill a good team though so who knows.
