Wentz out. Torn Mcl?
Theyre saying Wentz suffered a mcl tear. Staff left locker room shaking their heads. Foles vs Kennum for the NFC?
A tough blow, but I don't feel sorry for other teams and their injuries.....the Vikings have enough of their own going on right now. If Reiff is out for awhile, we might limp to the playoffs.
If he won't be ready at the start of next season, maybe they want to take Bradford back for a 1.
:devil:
What's the word on rriff I fear a high ankle sprain
I hate the Eagles, but I sure hope the news on Wentz isn't true. Very Carr like if it is.
We nee elf and reiff. those two were sorely missed today
Looks like it's torn ACL. Really tough loss for them if true
AP sources: Doctors believe Carson Wentz tore ACL
Wentz needs an MRI to confirm the severity of the injury. Both people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.
Wentz was hurt late in the third quarter of Philadelphia's 43-35 comeback win at the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Backup Nick Foles rallied the Eagles to a win that secured the NFC East title.
Wentz was hit hard as he scrambled into the end zone on a play that was called back because of holding. He stayed in the game and threw a 3-yard touchdown pass four plays later to give the Eagles a 31-28 lead.
Foles replaced Wentz the next drive.

Dang, really liked this Wentz character. Seemed like one of the good eggs. And to add insult to injury, the play gets called back on a holding penalty...
What a bummer. Not an Eagles fan, but it's hard to not cheer for Carson; especially here in Fargo. Too bad for a good dude having a MVP type of year.
stayed in 4 more plays and threw a TD....locker room cred....

We've been so snake-bit with injuries the last few seasons I can't imagine getting to a point where I feel it's evened out.

Definite hero status for that.
He got Daunte’d! ...as predicted, too bad but one could see it coming, almost too competitve for his own well being.
It was a tough hit to the leg, ugly. Very Carr like. It does open the NFC up potentially a lot. Rogers coming back and GB has the best qb in the nfc. Not that Wentz reached that status yet.
So now who are the favorites? Stays the same I guess:
Rams
Vikings
Saints
Eagles with Foles?
Seahawks
Falcons
Panthers
I dont know what the records are of all those teams, but I'd add GB to the list with Rogers back.
That's sad & bad news for the league as what they had going on was something special
one would hope greedy dreams of a longer season will end soon as it's a war of attrition now and the Super Bowl may be void of any big stars

TLDR:
Speaking of GB, they are currently ranked 9th at 7-6 ...
Current NFC standings...
1. Philly (11-2). Games: Giants, Raiders, Cowboys
2. Vikes (10-3). Games: Bengals, Packers, Bears
3. Rams (9-4). Games: Seahawks, Titans, 49ers
4. Saints (9-4). Games: Jets, Falcons, Bucs
5. Panthers (9-4). Games: Packers, Bucs, Falcons
6. Falcons. (8-5). Games: Bucs, Saints, Panthers
7. Seahawks (8-5). Games: Rams, Cowboys, Cardinals
8. Lions (7-6). Games: Bears, Bengals, Packers
9. Packers (7-6). Games: Panthers, Vikings, Lions
10. Cowboys (7-6) Games:
Playoff scenerio
1. The Packers need to get to 10 wins to have a legit shot (they MUST beat the Panthers, Vikings and Lions). This allows them to move up the standings based on tie breakers. Anything short would make things really really tough. Even with 10 wins they would still be banking on certain games to go their way.
2. They have to hope the Falcon's beat the Panthers (Packers would hold the tie breaker based on 1 above)
They are in a good position when it comes to tie breakers as they own them against Caroline (if they beat them), Seattle and Dallas.
Again reason why the Falcon's win against the Saints was huge (Falcons own the tie breaker against GB). The Vikings loss was bad for the Packers and the Seattle loss was good for them.
Who you should support
1. Panthers to beat Packers
2. If Packers beat Panthers then you support Falcons to beat Panthers else who cares
3. Vikings over packers (duh)
4. Seahawks over Rams
5. Falcons over Saints
6. Lions to tie with Packers (just to screw both of them. Packers should not win. Lions have been a tricky team for us so I don't want to see them in the playoffs either. If we get to this point where this game is a decider then I guess I give up)
I don't want to see the Packers in the playoffs so I have an eye on this. The earlier they are knocked out the better for me
Rams play the Rams?!?
I am putting all money on the Rams.

Definite hero status for that.The NFL needs more guys like Carson...

Unless he ripped it on that play - and tore it after trying to play on it.
