Watching Joe's play now vs how he played against the Steelers is a big indicator of just how much the appendectomy and the infection took out of him. Even a 25 year old elite athlete can't escape the effects of the systemic infection stemming from a burst appendix. An injury is easy compared to 6 days in the hospital, inability to eat, fevers, exhaustion, body aches.
The challenges from the Steelers game weren't just a bad line or lack of practice. He didn't play with his usual energy. He didn't move away from the pressure. How many of us commented that his throws were "off"
He may never admit it but his play was affected the first couple of weeks and most especially for game 1.
Its good to see him look like the Joe we know again these last couple of weeks
