How bad is playing through bruised ribs? (Nick Foles)

Question

I think this is critical to understanding how the game plays out.

Is bruised ribs bad enough to prevent him from playing at the top of his game or should he be okay to play as well as he usually would?

Nick Foles is probable...they&#x2019;ll shoot him up with some cortisone anti inflammatory and he&#x2019;s numbed up and good to go

&#xA;If only someone were to break your ribs as an experiment for betting purposes only, then you would see how fake that injury really is.

StumpTownStu · Answer

&#xA;This. Bruised ribs can suck, especially when you have to do a throwing motion. It&#x27;s a bad enough injury to conceivably keep a guy out/ affect his play but an NFL team has many resources at their disposal to get a guy ready.

Played qb in highscool. My senior year I had a permanent outline of the ride side of my ribcage via bruising. It sucked. I took 4 advil before every game.

Healthy or not St Nick&#x27;s Run is OVER. On the best of days he has no mobility and against the BEARS D he is going to wish he stayed on the sidelines. BEARS CRUSH the EAGLES BY 21!!

Thats interesting, considering what the same immobile statue of a QB did last year against a better defense than this Bears team has this year...2017 VikingsPass defense: #2Rush defense: #2Yards allowed: #1Points allowed: #12018 BearsPass defense: #7Rush defense: #1Yards allowed: #3Points allowed" #1All files did last year in the playoffs against a statistically better defense than this year&#x27;s Bears defense was pass for 352 yards, no interceptions, 3 TD&#x27;s, and led his team to 38 points.And before anyone responds "yeah, but that was last year, it don&#x27;t count", it DOES count.  The argument is "lol, Nick Foles will get destroyed by this Bears defense".  That&#x27;s all we heard going into the Vikinks game, questioning how the Eagles can score double digits against this vaunted D.Foles has been there before, against a better D than this Bears team (which is still one of the best in the league), and he looked pretty decent in that game.  Foles has ice water in his veins, which can be a scary thing in the playoffs, so keep predicting Bears 28 - Eagles 3....we wouldn&#x27;t have it any other way.

His big di$! Blocks all the pain out

MushKing · Answer

The point is, both had one of the best defenses in football, you can argue which one was better, but people were asking how the Eagles can score more than 10 points against that Vikings D.Now the argument this year, over and over again is, how is an immobile QB like Nick Foles gonna move the ball and put up points against this vaunted Bears D.The Bears have one of the best defenses in football, my argument is, be careful with that reasoning.  Foles has heard it before and has ice water in his veins playing in big games.  That&#x27;s a scary adversary to go against in a do-or-die scenario.  That&#x27;s why the Eagles have a good shot on Sunday, and why a young QB with inexperience like Trubisky is questioned.  How will he respond?  We don&#x27;t know yet

Fair points

popeye23 · Answer

There is a slim to none chance that Nicky finished the game  because of those ribs........so you are left with Sudfeld.....Chicago 27-13

Cooler999 · Answer

I used to own some Martial Arts studios when I was younger.  Let me tell you.With broken ribs, it hurts too much to stand up, and hurts too much to sit down, period!

Goat_12 · Answer

Nick Foles has a $1 million incentive if Philadelphia goes to the postseason AND he played 33 percent of team&#x27;s plays. His bruised ribs that prevented him from finishing the week 17 game now means he played 32 percent of Eagles&#x27; plays - 1 percent short of $1 million.

thorpe · Answer

He probably will wear a flak jacket which will protect the ribs but will cut down on his mobility.
