Chuck (Pittstowm, NJ): RANDY!!!! Answer me!!!!!! With the recent injury to Travis Henry, how badly will it hurt his trade value? What do you think Buffalo will get for him?
Randy Mueller: (4:00 PM ET ) I don't think he would have had great trade value anyway...a third round pick would be good value in my mind if the Bills were going to trade him...NFL personell guys have not put alot of value on backs like him..he's solid but probably not in any elite group...

James was not the Bills wr coach. It was Charlie.
James Lofton
Wide Receivers
19th NFL Season,
3rd with Chargers
Hall of Fame wide receiver James Lofton is set to embark on his third season as the wide receivers coach for the San Diego Chargers. One of the most prolific pass catchers in NFL history, Lofton was selected to the Hall of Fame’s 2003 class on January 25, 2003.
Lofton’s receiving corps was hit hard by the injury bug in 2003 with front-line players Reche Caldwell, Tim Dwight and Eric Parker all missing significant time. One of the pleasant surprises was the emergence of rookie Kassim Osgood, who came on late in the season and caught 13 passes for 278 yards and a couple of touchdowns.
During an NFL career than spanned 16 seasons (1978-1993), Lofton caught 764 passes for 14,004 yards (18.3 avg.) and scored 75 touchdowns. His 764 career receptions rank 10th in league history, while his 14,004 receiving yards is third in NFL annals to only Jerry Rice (20,386) and Tim Brown (14,167). Lofton played in 233 games during his Hall of Fame career.
Lofton originally entered the NFL in 1978 as a first-round draft pick (sixth overall) of the Green Bay Packers. He spent nine seasons (1978-1986) in Green Bay before moving to Los Angeles to play for the Raiders during the 1987-88 seasons.
In 1989, Lofton signed with Buffalo, where he spent the next four seasons (1989-1992). In Buffalo, Lofton was part of three AFC Championship teams and played in three Super Bowls following the 1990, ’91 and ’92 seasons.
After his stint in Buffalo, Lofton played in one game with the Los Angeles Rams and nine games with the Philadelphia Eagles before retiring after the 1993 season. It was with Philadelphia that Lofton became the first player in NFL history to eclipse 14,000 receiving yards.
Lofton’s finest NFL seasons came in 1983 and 1984 with the Packers. In 1983, he caught 58 passes for 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns, leading the NFL with an average of 22.4 yards per catch. The following year, he caught 62 passes for 1,361 yards and seven scores for an average of 22.0 yards per catch, also tops in the NFL.
Lofton joined the Chargers after spending eight years in broadcasting. From 1994-96, he was an analyst for CNN’s NFL Preview Show. In 1997, he spent a year as an analyst on NFL games for NBC. In 1998, he returned to CNN as a studio analyst for CNNSI’s coverage of the NFL. He spent three years (1998-2001) as a game analyst on FOX Sports Net’s broadcast of Big 12 football games while also doing NFL games for CBS Radio on Westwood One. From 1995-2001, Lofton worked as an analyst for the Carolina Panthers on the team’s preseason telecasts.
Lofton was born July 5, 1956 in Fort Ord, California. He attended George Washington High School in Los Angeles and Stanford University. His career receiving totals at Stanford included 68 catches for 1,216 yards (17.9 avg.). In 1977, he set the school single-season record with 12 touchdown catches. He was a three-year letterman (1975-77) for the Cardinal in football. He also had an outstanding career in track and field at Stanford where he was a four-time All-America selection. In 1978, he won the NCAA Championship in the long jump. Lofton graduated from Stanford in 1978 with a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering.
Lofton has competed in Master’s track and field events over the past eight years (1997-2004). Lofton won the 2003 Pacific Association Championship in the 400 meters and posted the fastest time in the world in the 300 meters for the 45-49 year old division. In 2002, Lofton won the Western Regional Championship in the 400 meters after capturing the long jump championship in 2001. He also won the championship in the long jump at the World Master’s Games in 1999. His first titles were in 1997 in the 200 and 400 meters, and the long jump at the Texas State Master’s.
James and his wife, Beverly, have three children, two sons, David and Daniel, and one daughter, Rachel. David is a quarterback at Stanford, Daniel is an all-league wide receiver and an All-CIF track and field athlete at Poway High School , and Rachel competes in club soccer.

I don't think the Bills would leave Buffalo but I also know the NFL wouldn't stop them. Look at the Brown's.

Has anyone here been having problems with Bills Digest? For the last five week I have been receiving my paper the week after the game. And a couple of weeks ago I renewed subscription and I never received my Bills calendar. I called today and they said "oh when you renewed the wrong code was entered. " Ok so what! We are out of calendars but we will check in to why the paper is late. Great when is Shout coming back! I miss there draft paper.

McNally is not the problem. The guy is a great ol coach. Look that his lines he coached before. Give the guy some time. He is workind with poor talent on the off line. Remember the good old days when John Bulter always said "you can't have enough lineman" The Bills need more talent on the off line. Not a different coach!

Bills now 29th!! How low can we go. Looks like we might give Dalllas a top 5 pick for Losman. Plus the picks from last year. TD I hope you are right about JP. Go BIlls. Beat the Jets!

I have no problem giving MM and the coaching staff some time. I also have faith in Jim McNally. Give him time and he will fix the off. line problems. But with TD trading away our first round pick in next year draft we don't have much more time. I don't want to see Dallas get the number one pick! Go Bills!

Did anyone here who will be the starting QB for the Browns against the Bills? The Bills Def is a free agent in my fantasy league. Also does anyone know is McNair is starting this week?
