McNabb fractured Rib

[SDogo]

How the heck do you break a rib under all that flab AND a flat jacket?

 

[TheSkaven]

I doubt he'll play next week against the Saints, and that game is a loss with Kolb at quarterback.

Eagles had 5 sacks and 7 forced turnovers today. If they play that kind of defense they dont need McNabb.

That might be a loss with McNabb at quarterback too.

Anytime you play Delhomme your defense is good for at least 3.

McRib now will have an excuse to underachieve.

Tell me about it. The Eagles defense was worth more in my FFl than Romo was today. I had Romo, my competitor had Eagles DST.

 

[Don Corleone]

Jeez, the Eagles are so lucky. Their next three games are at home and with a bye week thrown in... not to mention a couple of easies. And then they get the Raiders, who I'm not sure even qualify as an NFL team ,on the road.

New Orleans at home.
Chiefs at home.
Tampa Bay at home.
BYE
at Oakland.

They might lose to New Orleans even with McNabb playing.
50/50 on the Chiefs if he's not playing.
Tampa Bay looks better than thought...at least better than the Panthers.
Oakland would be a win without McNabb.

They could lose at least 2 of the next 4 without him. Fortunately for them, these aren't divisional games.

Bet he looks like Jonny U against us though. Our defense is a sieve again.

No argument from me...........ugh

In the NFC East, I don't know if the Eagles can afford to go 1-3 in their next 4 games.

As much as it pains me to say this, I think they maybe 3-0, Saints don't play well outside and the Chiefs, no comment.

I don't like to see anyone injuried even the ones on the teams I hate the most..it is just bad karma to be glad about it.
Here's to hoping our season remains free of big injuries...

Jake is a interception prone QB

 

[BourbonBalz]

He will play with that.

I know NFL players sometimes play with broken ribs (Witten last year and numerous others in the past), but I have no idea how they can do it. I broke three ribs in a motorcycle crash last summer and I couldn't move without terrible pain for two weeks. If I coughed or moved the wrong way, it felt like someone was stabing me in the chest with a brokekn off Coke bottle. My ribs were broken near my sternum, and I would think that makes it worse, but still. I guess players get the benefit of having the ribs shot up to help the pain.

 

[PBJTime]

BOLD prediction:One of either Commanders or giants will lose today.

That's the best part...one of them HAS to lose.

 

[Joe Realist]

I bet Kevin Kolb will do really well

UPDATE: Team source says McNabb doubtful versus Saints next week.

McRib now will have an excuse to underachieve.

Right, and all the media love for, gives them an excuse also. If he doesn't play well becaise of it. Or even if he does, they will be worse...a bad play...the rib hurts...a good play...wow, and he did that with a bad rib, he's super football man....wait and see, that will be the way they will be.

Mcnabb is playing

Unless they tie. Even McNabb knows there are ties in the NFL.

Now he does.
