T-Bomb Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Yeah, it's weird when you see a player walking with a leg injury going to the locker room, knowing players can walk on torn ACL's, I said UH OH! This would be an incredible kick in the nuts to Eagles fans, ouch! Edited December 11, 2017 by T-Bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriveFor1Outta5 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Wow. This league is so QB oriented, it’s crazy.

He did the Peterman head first dive today too. You love the passion from your team leader, but QB’s are too crucial to be reckless these days.

Bills Fan in MD Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 This is one of the reasons why I find it harder and harder to stay a football fan each year. I know there are major injuries in every sport, including ACL tears, but the regularity in which they happen in the NFL makes it really difficult to invest much in the game. I don't really pay the Eagles much heed, but this is one of the most exciting young players on one of the most exciting teams in the league.

gobillsinytown Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Saw the play where Wentz was hurt............this is why you don't want your franchise QB running with the football, especially at the goal line. He was sandwiched between two defenders, and I had a feeling he was hurt as soon as he got up, although he tried to tough it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that the one when he scored the TD but it was called back for a hold, then he went off to get checked for a possible concussion after the scored the next TD? After the next play of course when they scored the TD (Can't take the chance and get him out after the hit, gotta wait til they score, the concussion will still be there) I don't know if thats the one where he may have injured the ACL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 As a person I feel terrible for Wentz. ACL injuries are too common. However I don't feel bad for their fans one bit. We've gone through too much for me to sympathize with any fan base. I'm not happy their going through it or wish it - but that's some small potatoes compared to my sports agony.

The difference with Brady is he rarely leaves the pocket. QBs like Wentz that make plays outside of the pocket are more prone to injuries because they run all over the field and try to make a play with their legs. The downside of having an athletic QB.

wppete Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 That really sucks. Was watching the game and didn’t think it would be a serious injury. Let’s see what philkyndoes withiut him.
