All-Time Playoff Record 16-18

Strengths:
Although they lost Terrell Owens for most of the playoffs (possibly all), quarterback Donovan McNabb and running back Michael Westbrook have the talent to shoulder the load on offense. McNabb is a tremendous leader who has improved his accuracy and still has the mobility to buy time for his receivers. Look for Westbrook to be used more in the passing game with Owens sidelined.
Weaknesses:
The loss of Owens has created a lot of concerns for the passing game. WR Freddie Mitchell has been effective out of the slot, but now he is forced back to the outside where he will face better coverage. Second-year player Greg Lewis will line up in the slot, which gives McNabb less experience to work with across the middle.
Overview:
With a healthy Terrell Owens, the Eagles were clearly the class of the NFC. Without him, they've slipped back to the pack somewhat. However, they are probably still the favorite to represent the NFC in Super Bowl XXXIX, especially with a home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
