"Indianapolis Colts at Buffalo Bills: The Bills have gone three games without an offensive touchdown, and the fans are restless. So is owner Ralph Wilson. A lot of people wondered if offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride was going to keep his job this week. Of course, releasing any coach this late in the season is silly. Gilbride is bright, but the Bills are running out of offensive options. Travis Henry has a broken leg. Drew Bledsoe holds onto the ball too long because no one is open. Eric Moulds has a bad groin. The Bills are a mess and a seventh loss would virtually put them out of the playoff race. The Colts have their own worries. They don't have healthy wide receivers. They will probably give Marvin Harrison the week off to get his hamstring ready for next week's game against the Patriots. But this Colts team has shown great resiliency. The Colts have now won four games without either Harrison or running back Edgerrin James. The Bills are limiting opponents to 95 yards a game on the ground, but if Harrison is going to be out, Indy needs 100 out of James. That's the best matchup in the battle of former AFC East rivals."
This article is interesting to me for two reasons: First, Harrison might be out (which is probably a good move on Indy's part, saving him for the playoffs), and second, Gilbride apparently has the respect of his peers. Clayton seems to think that Buffalo's offensive woes are due to Henry's injury, Bledsoe's judgement, and Moulds' groin, which reflect poorly on Gilbride. Isn't it the system that makes the players look worse, instead of the other way around?
