Losing a premier kicker for a guy that no one has even heard of hurts plain and simple. Unless they can continue to put up 35-40 a game this costs them a game somewhere and maybe more. What makes this so fun for us to talk about is the fact that they basically caused this by having him kick when he was already significantly hurt. And what's even better is that I would imagine that this kind of injury could be one that drags on and never fully heals until he gets like 6-7 months off. We're not talking about a position player where they an come back before their injury is 100% healed becasue they can compensate somehow. If a kicker's leg is hurt then he is less effective no matter what.
Seems the Eagles callousness towards their players is showing it's negative side.
