Tractor-cito is an absolute marvel of modern athleticism to behold. I take no joy in inferring from this sort of thing that no one - I mean no one (except maybe Marcus Allen and Frank Gore (?)) - is immune from the ravages that the RB position visits on the human body. Henry's work load *and production* over the past ~40 games or so had been unfreakingbelievable. His workload hasn't been that bad. He's averaged 23 rushes per game since the start of 2019 (i.e. 39 games ago). His heaviest season (last year, 378) is 19th most in a single season. His second heaviest (2019, 303) is only the 211th most in a single season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That number is more like 1800, and the point wasn't that it wouldn't happen, but rather that he hasn't been used as much as most people probably think.

Cook was up close to him, but everyone else was like 100 fewer carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Why can't we all just celebrate a win. A good win over a hated division rival. Squishing the fish is always as awesome as the Sabres squishing (or whatever) the dastardly duo. I don't give a fiddlers fart if it was by 50 points or 1 point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami hasn’t really meant anything to me since Bryan Cox laced them up. Right now, only the Steelers, Pats and Chiefs feel different than the rest.

Dr. Who Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 11 hours ago, Hoss said: You're being a gigantic asshat about this. Nobody is "crying." We are pointing out concerns in a game that should've been dominated but wasn't. There was no separation until the very end of the game. It's okay to question these things - the problems are the exact type that stop teams from winning championships. I think we got Miami's best shot. They'd lost six straight to us, been embarrassed 35 - 0 in their own crib. That, and the interior of our o-line is just not good. Still believe we are the best team in the AFC, though they'll have to play a lot better if they want to win a SB. McD builds towards the post-season. It's plausible it will happen, though I'd love to find a better guard at the trade deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Georgia Bills fans, any interest in getting together at some place like the Anchor Bar in Kennesaw for a Sabrespace/Bills viewing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-man Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Derrick Henry is incredible...don't want to face him in the playoffs but love to watch him play in general. I can't recall a more physically dominant RB in recent times -- brings to mind Jerome Bettis. There are guys that run hard (e.g. Marshawn Lynch), but they weren't also HUGE.

Norcal Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 Squished! I think the Bills stood in and took the best that Miami had yesterday. It wasn't perfect but they got the job done. The offense drove for four scores in a row from about midway through the third. The defense hung in tough all game and forced some turnovers. McD and the team know they need to work on some things but they're on to next week now. When week 18 is over, this one will count as 1 in the W column and that's all that matters IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Miller was also traded from the Broncos to the Rams for a 2nd and 3rd. If he doesn’t help them win a title and he doesn’t re-sign that’s a bad deal.
