The concept you have in mind I totally agree with. I am merely saying I don't agree with the word being used.

How about character or moral?

Class gets used out of context all the time and this is one example of that.

Oh! Sure. Similar concepts -- why not!?

Thats what I am trying to get across to you they are not similar concepts. They are to you because you don't know what the word means.

I am dropping this issue we can agree to disagree.

McNabb is currently nursing three seperate injuries: chest and shin contusions and an abdominal strain. If the chest contusion were not problematic enough another worry for the Eagles is centered around the "abdominal strain", which could very well be a sports hernia. If so, the sports hernia will pose problematic for his performance mobility and motion wise. Coupled with the reoccuring nature of the chest contusion Donovan may struggle or be shelved for quite awhile this season.

If he does indeed have a sports hernia and it requires surgery he could be out a substantial amount of time (at least 6-8 weeks in some cases)and without surgery his performance will be hampered by insidious groin pain. They are awaiting results but many times a sports hernia can be present without a clinically detectable hernia in traditional terms. Surgery is the preferred method of treatment and usually requires a total of 6-8 weeks before an athlete can perform again.

This injury is close to home for me as I had this very injury from heavy weight training and running three years ago. I was able to exercise after 4 weeks but still had much discomfort. Even at 8 weeks, I was still not 100% and could not engage in a physical contact sport at the time. I know these guys have the best schedules, physicians and therapies money can buy, but even 6-8 weeks could pose problematic for the Eagles without McNabb.

Reid seems to be worried about the chest contusion even more because Donovan felt soreness after the hit from Sapp on Sunday. This "reoccuring" injury will not draw the sympathy of opposing defenses and will probably put a bulls eye on Donovan IMO.

Do you think that playing the Eagles with an injured McNabb makes our meeting with them in two weeks a much better scenario? If these injuries are substantial does this soften the Eagles grip on the division and NFC in general?

No one credible desires to see an outstanding player hurt like Rodney Harrison, Spikes and a Donovan McNabb. Yet, these injuries will impact their respective teams to be sure and may open the door for the opportunities of others. Though we are unsure of the exact extent of McNabb's injuries, we do know Reid is deeply concerned over them which of consquence, could alter the complexion of the NFC in general and the NFC East in particular.

Your Thoughts???

With McNabb playing hurt, the Eagles beat the 9'ers 42-3, the same team that we almost lost to. The Eagles only issue is will McNabb stay healthy, we have several issues according to Parcells, our pass rush, our secondary, our special teams, our offensive line. I have another issue myself. How will Bledsoe play against a defense with a pass rush. His history has been not very good against elite defenses. In a couple of weeks we might be better, but more than likely, so will our opposition.

The hell I don't. I hope every damn starter is injured when we play them. So does everybody else. Cheer for injuries? You're damn right I do.

Amen to that. It's sports competition ... nothing personal and no malice intended. I just want to have more wins than everyone else .... by any means necessary :shootfoot :rake:

I agree completely. If McNabb being out/injured means we have a better shot of getting to the playoffs, I don't understand how you can be opposed to that.

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

Amen...

Look up the word when you get a chance.

Your interpretations seems to be ...impersonal and non-malice = winning with severe predjudice and all costs!

Hmmm!?

by any means necessary

Your ends do not justify your means.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Football is not a classy sport if you want class go play cricket.

:laugh2: Other alternatives would be golf, chess & tiddly winks.

Do you guys rermember (I htink it was the Giants coach) last year when a Player (play-maker; can't recall his name, but you may remember) was 1 or 2 minutes late for a meeting and the coach benched him. This was a pivotal Player and it could have meant the team winning or losing, but the Coach kept His word and was citticzed for doing so.

Well ...that's called ethics. Look it up! No malice Intended!

Mcnabb is starting to sound like the new McNair.

Pardon me, I may Have missed your point initially. But, there's an expression out there (somebody help me with this one ), goes something like ...

"The true test of a warriors metal can be measured by the fierceness and courage of his enemy." ...or something like that -- you get the meaning I'm sure.

Don't think I missed the point this time.

Well Pheonix, you can live in that Shakespearean world if you want. i choose to live on this planet, in this NFL, where players and team win with whatever edge they can get. That my friend is the real world. Do you see unicorns in your world? I here they're quite a site.

Phoenix-Talon: are you for real or just a figment of your imagination?

I can hear the zimmy wuss lead defensive meetings now...

"McChunky soup is hurting. we CAN'T rush him now, he is like a hurt bear, we must avoid any contact with him...maybe only rush 2 players, yeah thats it, more SS on the field who don't cover well for less rushers, yeah, thats the ticket"! :laugh2:

 

[cwbyfan72]

Avoid all injured players with the ball!!! They may become more injured, and we dont want that!!! I mean we should lose this game so they get healthy, then we can really judge our team! LOLOLOLOL RIDICULOUS!!

:laugh2: Do not, I repeat, do not under any circumstances attempt to tackle the ailing QB, with the rib problem, up high. Take his feet out from under him. If he steps out of your "textbook" tackle, that's OK. What's important is not causing any further injury to an already ailing division leading QB. Also, it wouldn't be ethical and Mike Ditka would be rolling over in his grave.

Lets play the example game...

Take Ultimate Fighting Championship for example.

It is Talon vs. DBoys.

In the second round Talon kicks me in the nose and breaks it. He then helps me off the ground does that then make UFC a classy sport?

Look PT is happy because his team has won the NFC Championship three consecutive years and they have also been on top of the EAST for several years...... Everything is hunky dorry with him right now and there's no need to argue with him.... he's always right and won't back down!

DBoys, I agree with you though..

Back down.....I'm waiting for a response to my last post. One that actually applies to the year 2005.

A couple thoughts.

- McNabb's injuries will have to be pretty serious for him to be pulled. McNabb doesn't like sitting, he has played hurt many a time before. We need every win we can get this year, IMO.

- The Eagles ARE significantly worse without McNabb. McMahon is still learning the offense. Detmer is incapable of stretching the field, though he does know the offense inside and out.

- The stretch of games we won with Feeley is overblown a bit. Eagles fans are as guilty of this as anyone else. We faced a very easy schedule with Feeley. We only faced one team with a winning record - the Giants and we lost that game. Detmer started the game against the 49ers (a 10-6 team) and played lights out, but their defense was ranked 18th in points allowed and this was an unusual performance from Detmer.

- We have a difficult stretch of games coming up: @KC, @Dallas, bi-week, San Diego, @Denver, @Washington, Dallas, @NYG, then Green Bay in Philly. Reid might decide to rest him after the bi-week, but I imagine he'll want McNabb in for our division games.

Basicly, I think Reid will play McNabb unless the team doctors refuse to clear him, like they did for Terrell Owens last year.

Look up the word when you get a chance.

It is a Hebrew word meaning "verily" or "it is so" or "I agree."

Sportsbabe's usage of it falls most closely with "verily" or "I agree."
