FOF 2004: Flu outbreak!!!

kingnebwsu · 09-16-2006, 10:33 PM

I did a quick search and didn't find any threads on this. But I click on my injury report after my 2nd game of the season and I see...

From: Personnel Department

Injury Report:

Al Harris, LCB - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 1 week.

Donnie Nickey, SS - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 1 week.

Graham House, SE - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 1 week.

Sherman Terry, RB - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 1 week.

Marshall Peters, FL - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 1 week.

Brandon Gorin, RT - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 2 weeks.

Brian Westbrook, RB - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 2 weeks.

Carson Palmer, QB - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 2 weeks.

Courtney Watson, MLB - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 2 weeks.

Kevin Boothe, RG - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 2 weeks.

Richard Marshall, LCB - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 2 weeks.

Pat Oxarart, RT - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 2 weeks.

Alonzo Gaines, FB - Influenza, Questionable, full strength in about 2 weeks.

That's THIRTEEN players infected with the flu!!! I've never seen this before and it's kinda funny, except next week I play at the defending champion Colts. Has anyone ever seen this before? And how screwed am I gonna be if I play these guys? That's a good portion of my starting lineup, so I can't bench them all in such an important game. I'll dola after I sim the next game

Joe · 09-16-2006, 10:38 PM

ive seen flu and food poisioning a lot. play them anyway.

kcchief19 · 09-16-2006, 10:40 PM

Yeah, it's relatively common. There's not usually much you can do, so I usually suck it up and play most of these guys anyway. I don't believe I've ever seen anybody "aggravate" their flu injury -- and they almost always return to full strength on or ahead of schedule.

Celeval · 09-16-2006, 10:44 PM

Yeah - there's (probably?) a performance hit, but that's about it.

kingnebwsu · 09-16-2006, 10:47 PM

Well, we sure took a performance hit. We were 2 point favorites and we lost 22-12 to Indy. They had over 200 yds passing&running, plus were 9/16 on 3rd down. They also had 2 TD's called back due to penalties (and ended up with FG's). So without those it could have been 30-12. Almost all of them are 100% now except for like 4 guys.

Just wanted to post it on here, cuz it's the first time I've seen it. New team rule: No more spreading the flu before the biggest game of the season

Your healthcare expertise is as remarkable as your decorum.

You think that was bad...look at my injury list after the final pre-season game. This makes the final cuts difficult, since you can not release injured players.

IR eveybody you don't want. You can cut them when healthy, or just leave them on IR.
