Adam(Buffalo): Tom, do you think the Bills coaching staff should be fired or is it their personel to blame for these awful couple of weeks?
Tom Jackson: (5:11 PM ET ) I’ll just say this. I bet that Kevin Gilbride is fired this week. Les Steckel could be calling their plays next week. Gilbride is the offensive coordinator there and Ralph Wilson wanted to fire him last week.
Bills RB Henry continued playing with cracked fibula
‘Henry was injured after a 3-yard run up the middle inside the Texans’ 10. It appeared linebacker Jay Foreman rolled up on the back of Henry’s leg when he was down.’

For Bills, it's right here, right now
‘Offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride said the Bills need to find a way to get their confidence back. “I think certain parts of our game are coming together,” he said. “But you get to a point where you’re not playing as well as you would like, then you start to press and step outside yourself, and instead of getting better you wind up getting worse. Somehow we have to continue to work hard and not get discouraged, which is not easy to do, and make a play or two. Make a play, you feel good about it and then I think it’s kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. You start feeling good and start expecting success and success seems to follow suit.”‘
Bills are desperate to get off the beaten path
‘At 4-5, the Bills aren’t out of the playoff chase – at least not yet. But they have left themselves with no more room for error.’
When the Bills run
‘Bills’ free fall ends, at least temporarily, with a 22-16 win.’
