Of course he did

I need him for my fantasy playoffs
Man, that's tough.

I'll celebrate when they lose in January, but I feel horrible for Wentz.

they really are a cursed franchise.

Nick Folk wasn't terrible though. He may be able to do something.

If the diagnosis is true, it also affects next season.
Sorry but I knew this guy would get hurt  
DennyInDenville : 12/10/2017 7:53 pm : link
Just the beginning of many injuries for the young man.

Best wishes to him.
Looks like an ACL from this picture

ACL - ( New Window )
I feel bad for Wentz  
mrvax : 12/10/2017 7:55 pm : link
But the Eagles have a solid offense and Foles ain't too shabby.
This isn't college football  
Route 9 : 12/10/2017 7:56 pm : link
Guys are bigger faster and hit harder in the NFL. You knew he'd eventually get hurt playing like that.
Just crushing...  
bw in dc : 12/10/2017 7:58 pm : link
Big win for the Eagles too with the Vikes losing...
That’s football  
Sammo85 : 12/10/2017 8:01 pm : link
Tough luck. I feel for a player getting hurt but have no problem seeing the Eagles and their fans suffer from it. Nobody was shedding tears for us when we lost Beckham.

All is not lost for the Eagles. Foles is capable and will definitely beat us next week for a nice confidence boost.

But if you are the Panthers or Saints your potential road to the Super Bowl got a little broader today.
Win was huge today because it likely means a first round bye  
jlukes : 12/10/2017 8:02 pm : link
and one less game Philly has to try to win with their backup QB
they had such an easy path, too  
SHO'NUFF : 12/10/2017 8:03 pm : link
I guess the Vikings, Saints or Rams do now.

And I don't recall them shedding any tears when Victor Cruz's career was basically ended in that horrible game against them. It's a brutal sport.

Never like to see an injury  
B in ALB : 12/10/2017 8:10 pm : link
But it's still speculative at this point.

He might be OK in a couple weeks.

Or sooner. He's a big, strong kid.

Eagles and Rams with a great game today.
He had a nice year. But to repeat...  
Jimmy Googs : 12/10/2017 8:13 pm : link
you can't run too much as a QB b/c sooner or later you will get popped and its over.

Russell Wilson is the only guy I have ever seen escape injury by running a lot.

the only one....

The worst thing the Eagles could do is rush him back to the field and ruin him like the Redskins ruined RG3

I think the Eagles will be fine without them  
Essex : 12/10/2017 8:33 pm : link
I don’t think there defense is nearly as good as they think it is, but I do think their offense has been a nightmare to deal with schematically. Foles isn’t bad, and he was KC backup last year and knows this system really well. I think this could be a situation where foles surprises people.

As to Wentz, if he doesn’t move around, and run misdirections etc, he just isn’t the same qb. It’s easy to say not for him to do it, but if he doesn’t he isn’t nearly as effective. In other words, I am not sure if he is a guy who can drop back and just win games for you.

Hahaha. No chance.

Eagles have Agholor really exploding, Jeffery playing well. They’ll have Ertz back and Ajayi and Blount on the ground on offense.

Plus Schwartz will have his defensive front going after Eli all game.
Problem for Wentz  
Sammo85 : 12/10/2017 8:39 pm : link
Is it looks like it’s his right knee/plant leg. Wouldn’t be shocked if he is
kept to a special rehab in training camp and misses first chunk of the season.

Mobile qbs pay the price

Don't complain when Eli is like a statue in the pocket,...we need a mobile quarterback.., really ..,,.well this is the price you pay.. I will gladly take 210 starts vs 29 ..... think about it

Simms went down with a broken foot around this time during the 1990 season. I doubt there were any Eagles fans shedding tears for the Giants.

They can still win games with Foles. If any of those bitches whine to you, tell them to STFU.
Never  
LTPS5611 : 12/10/2017 9:33 pm : link
Want to see someone injured, but once they're on the injury report, don't necessarily want to see them come off. Anything that makes it more difficult for philly to win is ok in my book.

Mike Missanelli. He always complains that Philly fans have a bad reputation. You could cut the irony with a knife.

Maybe he can dance to this.
I was invited along to a dinner party to watch that game  
mfsd : 12/10/2017 9:33 pm : link
with a bunch of Eagles fans...they’re pretty down right now. We’re all old enough now to talk football agreeably despite the mutual dislike of each other’s teams - one friend said this must be how you felt when Plaxico shot himself.

Had to admit to the similarities. Truth is, Foles is a better backup than most teams could trot out, and that team is still very good around him (those receivers are legit)...but no doubt their Super Bowl dreams took a big hit today

Are we going to murder the Eagles defense man by man during the week? If so, sure maybe we can win. This team sucks and can't score, we're going to get murdered.
Is durability important?  
trueblueinpw : 12/10/2017 9:36 pm : link
Have to ask, because, you know, BBI. Anyway, yeah, I feel really bad for the Philthy Green Birds and their lovely fans. Get well soon Wentz.

Don't worry. Foles will carve the Giants up.

Vick, Cunningham, and Tarkenton last a long time. But it's a short list. Agreed about Wilson. He knows how not to take the big hit.

Living in the area, I guarantee til the day I die, I will hear how this was an all time team that would have smoked any team in the playoffs. Many here believe they were the best team in 2002 and 2008 and talk about it like the stars had to align for them to lose.
They are the Eagles but, they were having a great year ....  
short lease : 12/10/2017 10:04 pm : link
I want them to lose but, I want them to lose on all cylinders. Seems like a good guy ... as someone mentioned above ... because we are so late in to this season if it is a tear ... this will take them way into next season.

Life in the NFL ... fortunes made or broken by inches or a thread.

Hope he is okay - Eagle or not.
He plays with reckless abandon  
joeinpa : 12/10/2017 10:13 pm : link
I ve felt all season the Eagles season could be derailed.

I never hope for anyone to get injured. I feel badly for some of my friends that are Eagle fans.

But it s not a fluke that he got hurt.
Fuck Wentz  
BigBlue in Keys : 12/10/2017 10:24 pm : link
And fuck the Eagles. Tired of hearing he's a nice guy. Fuck that team and their fans too. Them getting knocked out of the playoffs will be the only thing that saves this season.
