Injuries fargin' happen. Injuries to star players happen. Sometimes teams can deal with it. Sometimes they can't. Sometimes they're completely gutless and it doesn't matter anyway.

That is what happens when so much of your team is predicated on 2 players. If McNabb or Westbrook go down the season is over. Why don't we have the depth? Cheapness has a lot to do with it. Always content with who they have and busts they are afraid to cut. It took them long enough to dump McMullen and it is a joke they still have McDougle on the roster. The defense line went to shtein when Kearse got hurt because Cole moved into the first team line and he was the only one anchoring the 2nd team line when he was on it.

Blame the management for that. We could have a quality backup behind Westbrook, we could have quality depth all over, but we don't. They dug their grave and now they can lay in it. I'm never happy when the Eagles suck, but they deserve every last bit of what happened to their smug arrogant asses this season. Their fault and their's alone.

Retard. Why do I have to explain simple things to you, retard? Okay, listen up retard. Every team has one or two players that are irreplaceable. Some of those teams are able to go out and compete despite the loss of those players. Still with me, numbnuts? You see, dumbass, other players sometimes step up. Sometimes the coaches adjust their gameplan to suit the players they have.

In short, stop breathing. You're a waste of life.

Then that wouldn't make them irreplaceable now would it? Pot kettle black.

The fact that you can't grasp how a team can lose players like that and still compete does not surprise me. Also, IGY, you suck at the internet.

You totally misunderstood what I was saying. Teams can lose players and compete, but this team can't. Like I said, we don't have the depth to do so. If a QB goes down then it is usually over for most teams, fine I understand that. But without McNabb we can't even be competitive, why? We don't have the defense to hold teams and give us a shot. We don't have any quality depth behind Westbrook either.

That is the fault of the personnel department.

Patriots - Tom Brady
Colts - Peyton Manning
Panthers - Steve Smith
Bears - Brian Urlacher
Saints - Drew Brees
Giants - Eli Manning
Seahawks - Shaun Alexander

The other good teams like KC, SD, and DEN can afford to lose a couple of players because they dont have huge stars, and if they do they have good backups.

I didnt think so too, but imagine the Giants with Tim Hasselbeck at QB.


Exactly.

I'd take Casper back over Garcia. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, Jeffy was a good signing.

QB Eagles

Being out for major time in 3 seasons of the last 5, can we officially call McNabb "injury prone"? And if so isn't it time to start expecting the Eagles to have a team capable of winning a few games here and there without him?

Injury prone? Absolutely not. Bad luck with injury situations maybe, but all his injuries except this have been the cause of something that would cause an injury.

Anyone is going to break their ankle if they get tackles like McNabb did against Arizona. Anyone is going to get their rib cartilage messed up if he gets smashed like he did against Carolina. Anyone who overlifts when weight training is subjecting themselves to sports hernia type injuries.

Injury prone would suggest that injuries happen to that player as to where they wouldn't happen to most.

I wouldn't necessarily call McNabb "injury prone", because my definition of that is when someone repeatedly hurts the same area, like John Abraham and his groin. McNabb is fragile, it seems.

rjs246

Oh christ. The 'bad luck' argument. King Cole and Munson must spend a lot of time together.

Look, it's very simple. If you get injured every year, you are injury prone.

The end.

I always considered someone injury prone when they often get hurt in ways that most people wouldn't. Look at Buckhalter. Tears his knee on a routine tackle in a mini-camp. Bumps his knee on a helmet in TC last season and retears a knee ligament. Stuff like that.

All of McNabb's injuries have come in situations where it is typical of what happened. I don't know about today because all the angles were poor. I didn't see if his knee twisted or bent. But if you get your leg twisted under you, if you get crushed in the chest and if you lift too much weight in the offseason, then you are going to get hurt. It doesn't matter how injury prone you are.

He's pretty much injury prone at this point. We need our Neil O'Donnell (backup in Tennessee when McNair was always injured) now. And his name is not Jeff Garcia. Or AJ Feely.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
