Damm, I was shocked to hear that espeically since the Eagles have a bye the week after which means extra rest. But I guess he feels the season is slipping away and wants to do what he can.

He should sit. They are playing the not-so-great 49ers and then have a bye week.

I think it's because he knows they can't afford to lose another game before Halloween-lol

Even with broken ribs, Brian Westbrook is the Eagles most dangerous weapon.

Let's hope the Niners Defensive Coordinator has a BRAIN and shuts Westbrook down-lol

I don't think Westbrook will have 150-200 yards so it won't be hard for the defensive coach to shut 'em down lol. It comes down to other guys getting it done.

I don't think Westbrook will have a 150 yds either because I found out tonight he is not playing this weekend. Also Reggie Brown is out this weekend.

FOOTBALL GODS ARE YOU LISTENING??

"i'm willing to sacrifice a Phillies Appearance in the World Series in exchange for the Eagles being 2-5 or 3-4 at the end of the October."



LOL

That's a risky proposition Sol, the Eagles will still beat the 49ers despite Westbrook being out.

Only because I feel that the Red Sox or Rays will beat the Phillies. I damm sure wouldn't sacrifice that if I didn't feel both were not BETTER TEAMS-lol

Also Brian, the Phillies were 4-11 this season against the AL teams this year. And out of those 11 losses, 6 were losses to teams who were not in the playoffs this year like Toronto, Oakland, and Texas

I see your point, but as you know, the regular season doesn't mean squat in the post season.

I would have no worries with the phillies playing boston or tampa

Westbrook is the biggest injury, but I will tell you what, I have been saying it all year...not having Shawn Andrews is a huge huge huge blow... The eagles offense has not been the same since andrews went down in the 3rd quarter of week 2 against the cowboys... Not having his monster presence effects the eagles big time
