said, "I think so," when asked if he supported offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride.

"Its plain and simple," Henry added. "I think everybody knows what we should be doing but, like I say, were not doing it. And why were not doing the things that were good at, I dont know."

Head coach Gregg Williams defended passing the ball in the red zone against Kansas City, saying it wouldnt be a topic of discussion if Bledsoe had hit Moore.

"Its hard to get anybody more wide open than that," Williams said.

Last year Henry finished fifth in the NFL with 1,438 yards rushing. Despite missing one game and part of another with torn rib cartilage this season, hes close to the same totals -- 149 carries for 551 yards -- he had midway through last year.

Team officials are leaning toward activating Willis McGahee next week even if the first-round draft pick is not immediately ready to play.

While a final decision has not been made, team president Tom Donahoe said Wednesday that placing McGahee on the active roster would be better than placing him on injured reserve and losing him for the rest of the season.

The Bills are in the midst of their bye week and next play at Dallas on Nov. 9. Should the Bills place McGahee on their 53-man roster, they have the option of ruling him one of their eight inactive players on game day until the team feels he is ready to play.
