The Sicatoka Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 There's a gif of Wentz's left knee moving laterally on Schefter's Twitter feed. (Not "Theisman bad" bad, but if you don't like knee injuries ... ) https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/940047659594739712 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 So in the course of about 12 hours MIN went from #1 seed in NFC, to #2 seed in NFC, to now still being the #2 seed in the NFC but seemingly well positioned to get the #1 back.

Oxbow6 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Foles is no Wentz......... but he's no Hundley either. Philly isn't doomed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Wentz seems like a great person, lost my fantasy footballer! That short video, kinda Ouch. Hoping for a full recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopfully Philly loses in the 2nd round and Min takes care of business. They MIn would host the NFC playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxphan27 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Feel for the guy. But at least my nightmare scenario of Wentz leading the Eagles to an NFC championship game win over the Vikings is not possible anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the one who posted Foles=Wentz. Of course he can’t replace Wentz but the Eagles will still be a dangerous team. Still a pretty complete team even without Carson.

That admitted, I still don't like PHI's chances in the post-season with Foles with ATL, CAR, and LAR starting to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn-O Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Philly is still the front runner to me. Remmers and Elflein banged up on the Vikings OL going into yesterday, and now Rieff in a walking boot today. Kennum was running for his life yesterday a la Bradford 2016, big plays are down the last two weeks. Gotta get the hogs up front healthy enough to go.

Foles is part of the generation of QBs that are "NFL QBs" in name only. I'd hoped Goff and Wentz broke that trend that but I don't see much coming along after those two either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux rube Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Carson didn’t tear his ACL from the hit. It actually happened when he planted his left foot in the turf to dive into endzone. He still plays 4 more downs and tosses a TD to Jeffries before leaving the game. Glad he didn’t get hit in knee again in those 4 plays or who knows it could of been career ending 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux rube Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Conversation Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Dr. James Andrews told @mortreport that torn ACLs can and should be 9-12 month recoveries, which means there are no assurances Carson Wentz is ready for start of 2018 season. I would bet my house that he will be ready to go by game 1 next season. He will rehab like he plays the game. All balls out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homer Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Philly still has to be the favorite in the NFC. I’m confident Foley can complete better than 60% of his passes with that WR corps and running game. They will continue to ask their QB to be a game manager.

Sioux>Bison Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Tough break for Wentz. I really enjoyed his dominance in the NFC east. He is what the NFL really needs right now and is more of a role model than half the league put together. I wish him a quick recovery and hope to see him kicking the cowboys in the future! the Vikings trip to the Super Bowl just got easier.
