Dez and the Flu

[SDCowboy]

It's too late. They hate him for making Dak throw the INTs now they'll say he shouldn't have been on the field if he was sick. They've already made up their minds long ago.

To be fair, if he was that sick (if it was the case) then he shouldn't have been on the field. He provided little and was directly responsible for two turnovers. I'd rather he rest a game if needed.

Guess he's had the flu since he got the contract

This thread has the potential to be one of the great funny ones.

Didn't Dak have the flu two weeks ago? Along with several other players?? Thought I read that somewhere.

This was SO funny I had to give it another shout out! I'm going to be laughing at this one all day long.

Thanks!

I hope not, he and the rest of the team were at a children's hospital, shouldn't have been there if he was or had recently been sick.

I think it was before that when the flu was going around. I want to say Sean Lee had it too. I know it hit several of the players and I saw mention of it a couple times here. But I honestly can't remember the players that were affected other than a vague feeling that Dak and Lee were mentioned.

Edit: found this. I know by the time it hit Lee, some others had already had it. Also, after that game I'm almost certain I read here that it was noted after the game that Dak may have had it too and that was a possible reason for his struggles that week.

Right now just hoping Dez comes on strong for the final push. People may not like the fact that high expectation are placed on Dez but it goes with the territory as the #1 WR and one of the highest paid players on the team. People want more than avg play from our playmaker. I don't hate the guy I just want him to elevate his game after all we need someone on the outside to be the difference maker. Guys like Terrance Williams I expect only so much but Dez you bet I expect a lot more. To me this is not personal or some deep seeded hate, he is a star player on this team and it is time for the star to shine.

I hope more of the team catches the flu that Lee had, cause he played great last week. Lol

Can't argue with that lol. But it was before that. I found the link and updated my previous post.

I wish I could remember it better but I have yet to sleep since the night before last and my brain is buzzing lol

[lostar2009]

1st I heard, thanks for posting. Info to all those DEZ haters to ease up

I ran a marathon with the Flu, no excuses

 

[jwooten15]

Oh, did the flu make Dez run the wrong route?

Should have been on the sidelines if it was that bad

Flu affects people differently.

 

[DTown214]

He probably got the flu because he was running around in the snow pregame in a damn tank top and shorts

Don't think anyone argued that lol

Actually its on page 14 in Dez Bryant's "book of excuses" for games he decides to take off.

And I bet page 14 is still the introduction section of that book of his.

Whether Dez had the flu or not, he tends to have poor outings when elite CBs are assigned to him. Let's see if that continues in the weeks to come. If it does, perhaps it's time to seek a real difference maker at WR. The weeks ahead should be quite revealing for Dez and others as well.

The Cowboys have actually been battling the flu since the week of the Vikings game. I know Irving had it.
