Not me. I’d rather beat their best if we wind up having to go through Tennessee. If they are better so be it. How good could an opponent feel beating the Bills if Allen had to sit out?


It’s a long season, and the way they were using Henry came with risks and rewards. I can’t remember another RB getting run into the ground like that other than Larry Johnson and he didn’t last long.

Titans were lucky with him during  that long, the work load is always dangerous for a RB especially with one heavy and with a punishing style, come on even one with a finesse style didn't last long, also in Tennessee Chris Johnson (i think, actually don't remember the name)

5th metatarsal is, I believe, the dreaded "Jones fracture" injury.  Terrible for an athlete.  Feel bad for Henry.  Oilers fans?  Not so much.

 

For someone his size, I would guess he's one of those 2 surgery ones.  Julio Jones, Kevin Durant, Edleman and someone else I believe had to have 2 surgeries.

so if we play them in AFC Championship it won't count as much? Injuries happen all the time. Kelly missed playoff games due to injury. If a team beat the Bills without Allen I doubt it would matter to them

What about the way we use Allen? You give it your best shot and hope for the best. Henry is a year round Jerry Rice type training fanatic and he has not been injury prone. Mostly bad luck to me. Stuff happens.

has nothing to do with his size & everything to do with the specific location & type of the fracture

Well now.  That sure takes the shine off of the Titans win yesterday.  The AFC is so hard to predict right now.  Colossal loss for Titans.  Can anyone even name the RB2 there without looking it up?

You don't think that added weight makes it tougher to heal?  He's a 250 lbs guy that cuts on that foot hard....

no

 

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?

Oh I would definitely take the win and run with it obviously. What I’m saying is if I had a choice of playing them with or without Henry I’d rather take on their best. I take no pleasure or derive any comfort from seeing great players go down - even if it improves my chances.

How ‘bout you?

Wow I thought he had the best case for MVP so far. And now you have to wonder how well he'll come back from it next year.

 

I really thought he deserved to win it last season.  To do what he is doing, head and shoulders above anyone else in that position, and carrying a playoff team.

 

 

 

 

Anyways, yes, I think it was a ticking time bomb, unfortunately.
