Stiggs Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I wonder if the flu bug Grossman had was spreading through out the locker room? i know even though your not quite sick yet, a seriouse flu enough to send you to the hospital can sap your strength and concentration. I know people come up with a thousand reasons why a team plays poor, but i know when im coming down with a major cold/flu im not 100% at work for days before i get hit with it...Football demands mental sharpness...Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Rex said in training camp that he hates washing his hands, so that could rub off on the rest of the team because he was the de facto leader for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetMinimum+Incentives Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 You may have a point. Before he was injured Fletcher was reportedly projectile vomiting on the sidelines after each series. I don't know if anyone else was sick though. Even so our loss can not be blamed on either illness or injury. It was a total team effort we lacked in everything from coaching to the players execution (which I am in favor of btw ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 It's possible, they did mention it about Fletcher, but Fletcher is a pre-game puker every week. The fact they mentioned he had been puking throughout the first quarter could mean more. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkowi Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 A friend of mine made the comment that it could have contributed something to do with Grossman's piss poor showing vs. Philly. Not that he can't throw 4 picks without having pneumonia, but that is one of those illnesses that can come on over the course of few weeks and get progressively worse. He could have certainly been ill vs Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex had Rexitis that day. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGator Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I've had an upper respiratory infection once before. It sticks with you for a solid month sometimes. Worst month physically of my life. It got to the point that I could function O.K. but breathing actually hurt. It sticks with you like nothing else. I think 2 hurt OL during a game can have a profound impact on pick-itis too. I've seen it too many times with all QBs. Manning, Brady etc. They all get rattled on occasion.

Rocky52Mc Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Another excuse? We just got our hats handed to us and nothing else. Actually, to be quite honest here - Cam Newton and Steve Smith were on Manning and Harrison stuff on about 4-5 plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy&Gold4Ever Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 All teams face illness. I don't know if we were dealing with more than other teams typically face at this time of year, but I think the flu and various viruses are going around all teams.
