Eagles | McNabb could miss the remainder of the season
Tue, 15 Nov 2005 20:05:10 -0800

Mark Eckel, of the Trenton Times, reports Philadelphia Eagles head coach is expected to give an update on QB Donovan McNabb's (hernia) condition Wednesday, Nov. 16. According to Eckel, don't be shocked if that update includes McNabb being shut down for the rest of the season. McNabb said he would do all he could to play, but acknowledged that he is hurt. "I felt the groin maybe popped or maybe shifted in a new, different direction," McNabb said. "I had some tightness early in the game and just the previous weeks. I was trying to force (S Roy Williams) inside and I got pushed (by LB Shawn Shanle) and my leg got twisted a little bit." Perhaps it's time for McNabb to just call it a season? "It's hard for me to say that," McNabb said.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit

Who is LB Shawn Shanle

Another reporter could not even get the player right. It was Bradie James.

Also, McNabb should sit, his play is sporadic, the eagles chances of winning the division dont look good at all. Why keep playing him at this point.

I felt really bad for McNabb. He's a warrior and I have the utmost respect for him.

But seeing him laying on the ground, writhing in pain wasn't a nice sight.

I know it's football, and violence happens. I don't think Bradie James intentionally hit him hard ... but I think he laid into McNabb alittle harder than was necessary. A simple block would have been enough. McNabb was in no position to tackle Roy.

Maybe the hit looked harder than it was ... but I felt badly for McNabb. He plays in severe pain with the biggest heart in football. The Eagles don't deserve him.

Here's to hoping he takes some time to heal ... even if it means sitting out the remainder of the year.

James barely shoved McNabb (he could've really knock the you know what outta him), he just flailed around awkwardly before hitting that crappy turf.

The block would not have broken a box of fine china. It was a gentle push. Come on Eddie...what were you watching???

Pull the blinders off eddie....... James could have cleand McNabbs clock if he wanted to. He merely shoved him out of the way..... Watch the replays again... It will be on NFL Network Thursday.

If you considered that a hard hit how long have you been watching Football? If McNabb didn't want hit he shouldn't have went over like he was going to make a tackle. BTW that was as clean and soft hit on a QB by a LB I've seen.

Dallas4ever · Nov 16, 2005

It was a little upset that James didn't hit him harder. A lot of LB's would've pancaked him and fell on top of him for good measure.

sbuscha · Nov 16, 2005

Its football man, raw emotion to win the game and you wanted a Linebacker to back off hitting a pursuing QB....get real this isn't water polo....

Danny White · Nov 16, 2005

McNabb is getting crucified in the Philly media and among Philly fans for "running TO out of town." If he shuts it down now... even if justified... it's going to be brutal.

Listening to WIP yesterday, I was shocked at how much hatred he was getting. We didn't hate on Q this much.

Good to win the game, but we did not do ourselves any favors for the rest of the season by getting rid of McNabb. They cannot beat the Giants or the Skins without him.

Geez......how could we foresee this???? You guys make it sounds like we pile drove McFlabb WWF style after the whistle or something.

repeat after me......IT WAS A SHOVE.

Thank you, Madden, for screwing up everybody on Bradie James. :bow:

We swept them... that's all we have the ability to control.

Make no mistake, Philly will give the Giants two solid games, and will give the Skins all they can handle as well in their home game... and hey, if Philly ends up losing all three, I can live with that.

If we take care of our own business with the Giants and the Skins, we don't have anything to worry about.

BARRYRAY · Nov 16, 2005

Yea really miss Romanowski, he would have sent him off to intensive care, he must have been screaming when James just pushed him down...

It was a comment - I was not trying to say don't block him - just an observation - I wish he was healthy is what I am saying - Calm down!!

ravidubey · Nov 16, 2005

Bradie pushed McNabb to the ground, but it was not a vicious hit. On replay, you might even call it respectful given he could have really laid into McNabb.

I am very calm. I just think you are wrong in thinking we could have some how prevented McNabb's injury because of our actions.

McNabb may be done for season
