I'm honestly not as concerned about the defensive side of the ball as some seem to be. There is talent there and a scheme change is not going to be all that difficult.
As for the WRs McNabb worked with a lot less for most of his career in Philly. And we'll undoubtedly see Cooley and Davis worked into the mix as both are talented enough to split out. And who knows, TO is still out there.
All in all I just don't think that 8-8 is all that crazy. 10-6 if things really come together quickly.

8-8 would be a very impressive season in my eyes, in part because the defense does worry me quite a bit. The d-line (I assume AH is not in the mix by the start of the season) is arguably the worst we've had in a long time, and easily the worst in the division. Kemo = ?, Carriker = ?, the other guys are either underwhelming vets like Holiday or no-name rookies and 2nd yr players.
I guess my expectation is we see a lot of high scoring games, and if we're lucky we'll win about half. That said, it should be exciting football again (finally) because of the offense. I'm just preparing to be frustrated w/ the defense.
