We will indeed have a verifiable answer soon. So feel free to scoff all you want. 

Well, hopefully we won't have to find out what the Bills' offense looks like without Josh Allen, but I can promise you, it would not be pretty.

You mean like yesterday, when they beat the Colts on the road, and Henry amassed 68 yards on 28 carries?

 

You are missing how differently defenses play TN when Henry is just on the field regardless whether he gets the carry or not.

 

It is how many defenders DCs commit to stopping Henry from potentially breaking a long run that allows TN to play the way they do.

 

Not sure when he hurt his foot either or if he tried to play through the injury...could have impacted his numbers yesterday too.

Does it? Bills have likely dogfights vs. IND, @NO, vs. NE, @TB, @NE.

 

I don't buy Indy or New Orleans as dog fights. They don't have Quarterbacks. Tampa, yes that is a tough game and I think New England will be tough both times but the Bills will at the very least split. If we lost to Tampa and then split with New England we would need Tenn to lose 3, that might put them in play I suppose. I don't think it is beyond credulity to suggest the Bills could win out.

While this move certainly shifts the current AFC playoff landscape, the Titans are still pretty much a lock to win their division given the sweep of the Colts.

 

And from the Bills perspective it shouldn't change any potential strategy for Beane to make any type of trade for help in the next few days.

He’s been one of my favorite non Bills players since he came into the league. 
I despise the Titans so it’s been real love/hate. 
He is built different and trains like nothing I’ve ever seen from a player. I hate to see him injured, he deserves the credit he gets.

I agree.  It's surprising how much Indy has regressed, moving from an ancient Philip Rivers to Carson Wentz.  Wentz really is awful and has not be revived by Frank Reich.

"There's absolutely there's...." sounds like Joe Namath on MNF when he was talking to Suzy Kolber.

He’s talking lessons from Tua…,

again, it's the location & type of fracture which dictates the recovery time. For example, 5th Metatarsal Base Fractures are among the most common fractures of the foot and are predisposed to poor healing due to the limited blood supply to the specific areas of the 5th metatarsal base.

Okay.  If the location is "ideal"....could he heal in time this season to play?

 

It is so tough to predict.  As noted above, foot fractures are notoriously "bad" for healing because of the lack of blood flow.  That's why athletes have the surgery immediately to put hardware in place.  I had a fractured 2nd and 3rd metatarsal last year and healed without surgery but I was off my foot for nearly four months.  I also used a bone stimulator daily.  Could Henry come back this year?  Sure, it's possible, but I wouldn't want to count on it.

Everyone that knows anything about these fractures knows it's all up in the air how fast they heal.

All teams worry about a QB injury but the Titans have put all their eggs in the Henry basket.

Going to be interesting how they scheme their offense going forward.

Who gives a flying F about this?? Seen it a couple of times now.

 

Are you an official protector of the shield? 

 

Just go all in and embrace it maybe mildly helping our teams path to a championship. The millionaire with a serious foot injury will be alright. The NFL will survive this.

 

What the F*** ? "Official protector of the shield." Really?

 

This league has a lot of bad teams. More bottom feeders than I can remember in recent memory. Too many mismatches each weekend. I never root for seeing star players out of action,  injured...but that's just me.  It's a karma thing. You wish this on other Teams when it can happen to your own team tomorrow. So I don't root for injuries.

 

I'll sign up right now For Bills to see Titans with Henry in The Conference Championship game. As long as it's in Orchard Park. That's my point.
