Bad Things Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Such a shame for this to happen to such an exciting player, but seeing how hard he plays, it's really not a surprise. The man plays like a sledgehammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blainorama5 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Peterson will come out of the gates with his hair on fire I'm sure, but no defensive coordinator will be truly scared of what he can do compared to Henry obviously. I'm sure he can still be a bit of a bruiser, but I don't think he's the key piece for a Tenn. playoff run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing about metatarsal fractures is that they frequently start out as stress fractures that worsen over time. That, my friend, is the definition of "wear and tear." Vrabel is absolutely being defensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not even be in football shape. I doubt he will be ready for the Rams game Sunday if at all. AP is pushing 37 years old. Last year by the end of the season he was not even starting for the Lions. His largest impact could be pass blocking and some screens for the Titans.

DrPJax Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 This is Karma for-that POS VrAble and his insulting attempt at recreating the music city throw up crap! Have no sympathy for the team, hey , it’s a contact sport and this is a non life threatening inconvenience for Henry. No one would be crying if Josh was out a far as other fan bases, eg the classless Bills statements on the fins message boards. Honestly , running the guy to death is a set up for stress fractures etc so it’s not surprising some injury might happen just from his volume of work. So let’s see how Vrable coaches now and let’s see how frequently Tammy hill does his little Jordan ballerina move.. An NFL season has to include team depth, so let’s see how good the TitAns are really prepared. They have tied the Boys as my most Hated rivals. When they did the miracle, I was still a season tic holder for Jax in 99 and was one play away from watching my fav Bills come down here and I know they would have beaten that Jax team ( just like the tacks did and their fans were obnoxious, shich says something as jags stands tend to be filled with southern red necks who started drinking Monday nights to get ready for Sunday games! 😀. ). Sounds harsh but I supported the Jax franchise starting two years before the first game , and 99 was my final year as I just hated the interference it played watching my Bills and I bet I gave away or wasted 25% of my club seat tics anyhow For a multitude of reasons. Was paying 250$ a seat for two club seats on the 35 yard line , 8 rows from the visitors bench and field because I wanted to support Jax and knew the guys who originally started the bid before the team was awarded to Wayne Weaver. It was just ridiculous to be surrounded by drunks who had little football knowledge and literally screamed obscenities at the visiting bench for the entirety of games! I digress! But the Titan fans who came down right after that MSM to be here were just as bad ,and I have to admit that any thing that makes them suffer ( esp after another last second loss), just keeps tipping that lady justice scale back toward our Bills after years of agony! Lol! Hey , after following the Bills since 63, anything that might help them get back to the SB and win one before I die is a good thing 😂🍸 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a minimum they will lose to the Rams and Patriots, even with Henry back for the Steelers that's shaping up to be a tough game given possible playoff ramifications late in the season. Tannenhill has been good during his time with the Titans because he hasn't been the focal point of the offense. Now that teams know there is no real rushing threat the focus will be on Tannenhill and expect similar results to his time with the Dolphins in that he'll certainly have his moments but probably crumble and turn the ball over a lot more since teams can focus almost exclusively on stopping the pass.

I was very much on the ‘the titans rushing success is a team thing more than just a Derrick Henry thing’ until their game against us of course lol he just always seems to fall forwards for a few yards no matter how bad the run blocking gets blown up and that’s the part of his game that doesn’t get as much attention. I’m thinking now that any other rb will be a monstrous downgrade for them. that first down run the defense is sitting on losing a yard instead of going for 2-3 yards is such a backbreaker for what they like to do on offense Edited November 1, 2021 by Generic_Bills_Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy1 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 If Henry is out, defenses won’t be stacking the box making their pass game tougher. Hopefully some upcoming teams can give them some loses.

mjd1001 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 As of now I still think the Titans are the team the Bills have to worry about the most for that 1st round bye. The Bills have to finish with a better record than the Titans obviously because of the Tie breaker...But other than the Rams, I think they should/will be favored to win every other game on their schedule, even without Henry. That of course doesn't mean they wont slip up and lose a game or two in there, but the Titans still worry me for home field in the AFC.

ROCBillsBeliever Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 True, I hate seeing any player injured, much less an all-time great like Henry. Honestly hope he's okay (for next year). But you know what I also hate seeing? Three TDs called back by the zebras in that Titans game, topped off by a boneheaded play call at the end of regulation that cost us a seat at the 5 and 1 table... (And here comes my, sure-to-be-unpopular opinion): For the first time in two decades, Karma has finally decided to bless our Bills. I'm offering up a keg of rum to Jobu. Two kegs, maybe! I've suffered through the endless bad breaks, barftastic calls, and outright cheating go against us long enough to appreciate a windfall when it comes our way.

He deserves better. A 6 week timetable for recovery puts his return in Mid-December and then you are likely looking at a limited snap count for 2-3 weeks before he is 100% which puts him on a time table to return for the playoffs at close to full strength. That's likely a best case scenario as 10 weeks pretty much puts him out the whole regular season and at best you get back a limited version for the playoffs. Overall this is probably a scenario where if he approaches the higher end of his recovery you might have him back for the playoffs close to full strenght. But if you are getting him on the back end of that recovery time table you are better off shutting him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I can’t believe the titans were so woefully unprepared for a Henry injury. They had really no replacement on their roster even; McNichols is a skat back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
