Six Days Till Sunday

It's too early to tell whether I might be able to play this week due to my rib injury. Sunday is a long way away. I will work with the trainers to do my best to be ready.

Like the rest of the team, I have confidence that Kevin will do well if called upon. Adding Jeff Garcia to the roster is a great idea. He knows our offense and how we do things around here. He's a great teammate and I look forward to working with him again.

  Donovan your a warrior I really hope you can go on SUnday because you give our Birds the best chance to win

  I believe it was a late hit, not only was he already in the end zone, but down as well!!!! But, hey, what can you do now, look at the tape and fine the two players??? I just pray that he can get back into full health and lead us to Florida at the end of the year!!!
- Traybay replied September 16, 2009
  
  My bad, lead us to Florida at the end of January, not at the end of the year!! LOL

Dude. Your a warrior. If there is any way you can play Sunday I know you will. You have certainly played with worse injuries. Hopefully you can manage the pain and function well enough to play. If not then the rest of the team will have to step it up big time. I wish you good health and a speedy recovery.

GETusJUST1 said September 14, 2009

We're all in your corner Donovan. If you can play, awesome. If not, then hopefully we can still pull out a win with Kolb or Garcia. We know the defense is playing well, but to keep up with Brees, we need points. If you dont play, Jeff is the best shot we have at winning now.

Looking forward to a 24-20 win on Sunday over the Saints, with you on the field.

Wishing you a speedy recovery as it is just not the same without you on the field! I feel like your second mother and when you went down, it was a good thing I wasn't in NC as I nearly went through the TV to get to the guy who hit you late. I know it's football but it was just alittle too late of a hit for me. :( Take Care and looking forward to you coming back healthy and leading this team to where they deseve to be.

COURTNEYALLEE said September 14, 2009

Any one who knows anything about you knows that if you can play, YOU WILL. I think it's a bit of a shame though that you have such a tremendous talent (Vick) as back-up, and he can't even play. Get Well Soon.
Reply
COURTNEYALLEE said September 14, 2009

BTW, I think it needs to be addressed! My top three fav. QB's are (in this order) McNabb, V. Young, then Vick... I'm kind of offended at the way the phillie fans booed when Donovan was drafted but cheered when Vick hit the field. Not that I wish any ill-will towards Vick b/c ,like I said, he's my #3. I just felt that was a little unjust and I think the fans that live in Philadelphia need to check themselves sometimes. I'm a huge fan, but I'm from Lake Charles, LA. I don't feel any comaraderie towards/with those fair weather, nut job, lunatic fans.

DMAC you're my favorite quarterback. I havn't missed an Eagles game in 8 years and I back you up when ever anybody talks S#it. I'm not happy about seeing Vick on the team as I think the Wildcat is a one year wonder and all that is going to happen is create a media headache. Garcia is old balls and may get a win this week but if he starts you can throw him into the QB media mess....you're the guy! take your time but suit up if you can bud the Eagles are nothing without you

hollywoodeagle said September 15, 2009

Get better soon and dont worry about running the ball until playoff time. You have to be 100% for a strong playoff run. With Vick as support for you the time is now for you to stake your claim. To Carolina, CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. Paybacks like McCown are a b*tch. More coming your way Fox. Step aside white boy.

Im flying from Cali to see the Eagles play the Saints this week. I'm bummed that you might not play, but if the team plays as well as it did vs the Panthers, we should have a good shot at winning. I've been back to Philly two consecutive years and we lost to the Coboys in 07 and the Giants in 08. Now I'm back vs the Saints and hoping for a different result this time (my gf is banning me from anymore home games if we lose again this time ha!) Get well 5!! We will need you for our Superbowl run. Someone has to be MVP right? :) See you in SD when we whoop the Chargers later this year. Good luck!

SOME OF THE ALL TIME GREAT WARRIORS HAVE PLAYED WITH BAD INJURYS LIKE CRACKED RIBS LIKE BRET FAVRE AND STEVE YOUNG. HONESTLY I THINK THAT KOLB IS NOT AN NFL STARTING QB. IM TIRED OF HEARING THAT THERE HASNT BEEN ENOUGH OPPORTUNITYS TO SEE WHAT KOLB CAN DO. IF HE HAD THE STUFF WE WOULD HAVE SEEN IT BY NOW AND WE WOULD KNOW WHAT HE COULD DO.

Donavan, I hope you get better man. Although team allegiance is important to fans, it shouldn't apply when it comes to injury. As a fan, I want my team to go up against the best another team has to offer. I am not in the NFL, but I assume there is an unwritten code not to disrespect an injured player. As a matter of fact I hear a lot of stories about NFL athletes reaching out to others who suffer similar injury or adversity.

Get well soon and on a side note, I watched you play at the Carrier Dome a few times as a BC fan, and you were da bomb.

A very wise person once said, "This is not a sprint, its a marathon." I could not agree more..the season has just begun and I believe that if the eagles keep their stamina as a team, we will be victorious : ) I saw the hit that caused the injury and I must admit that it was quite disturbing that no penalty was called on that play. The hit was late and inappropriate. However, I find it admirable that Mr. McNabb has not commented negatively about the situation at all. Which shows everyone what I knew the very first time I saw McNabb the year he was drafted. He is a class act. His mental superiority and physical toughness proves to the rest of the world that he is definately a potential hall of fame quarterback: ) You are in my prayers, Big Mac..I believe in your vision...you are super with or without football, after all, football is what you do..its not who you are. Be Blessed : )
