But then, they found a group that worked, and that group stayed healthy though the playoffs and they won with it. It proves, you don't have to invest heavy in the OL to win, but it HAS to play well at the right time. Clearly, ours broke down at the wrong time.

McNabb having no receivers is predominantly a myth that dates back to the James Thrash era, I think. Their receivers are much better than ours, right now at least. In 2006 and 2007, their receivers finished top three in YAC each season, which greatly helped Donovan throw for yards and big plays (not unlike us in 2005). DeSean Jackson and Kevin Curtis will only help that.

I guess I have to agree with you on that point at this exact moment but I really believe that at the end of the season Moss, Thomas and Kelly will be better than Curtis, Jackson and Baskett/Greg Lewis. If they get a Boldin or Edwards they are ahead of us too. If with what we picked last year we can't be better than the Eagles WR we are in a major world of hurt.
