> Bills’ Spikes out for season with torn Achilles By JOHN WAWROW, AP Sports Writer
> September 26, 2005 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) – Bills’ Pro Bowl linebacker [Takeo Spikes](http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4278/) will miss the rest of the season with a torn right Achilles’ tendon.
>
> The Bills announced the news Monday a day after Spikes was hurt in a 22-16 loss to Atlanta.
>
> The injury is a significant blow to a veteran defense being counted on to relieve the pressure on first-year starting quarterback [J.P. Losman](http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6781/). [Angelo Crowell](http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6430/) will replace Spikes.
>
> Buffalo’s defense has struggled even with Spikes healthy, allowing a combined 721 yards in its last two games, including a 19-3 loss at Tampa Bay on Sept. 18.
>
> Spikes was hurt in the second quarter pressuring quarterback [Michael Vick](http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5448/). It’s unclear what happened on the play, but Spikes was left lying face down on the field a few feet in front of Vick, who had overthrown receiver [Roddy White](http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7203/).
>
> Spikes slammed his helmet to the ground when he rolled over and then grimaced as he tried to kneel. He required help getting to the sideline, unable to place much weight on his right foot. He was in tears when he was carted to the training room.
>
> Spikes is an eight-year NFL veteran in his third season with Buffalo, having developed into the team’s physical and inspirational leader.
>
> He has also proved to be a durable player, having missed only one game – to attend his father’s funeral in 2001 when he was with Cincinnati.
>
> The Bills lured Spikes from Cincinnati in March 2003, signing the former first-round draft pick to a six-year $32 million contract – a deal the Bengals had the right to match, but declined.
>
> He quickly became the centerpiece of a stingy defense, which finished second in the league in fewest yards allowed the last two seasons. Last year, his five interceptions were the most by a Bills linebacker since Darryl Talley had five in 1991.
this really sucks

:word: it’ll be interesting to see how the bill’s defense will be this sunday without spikes in the lineup. hopefully they’ll decide to kick up their game a notch and kick some ass without spikes, but we’ll just have to wait and see

Ravens won the superbowl without a QB…
We need an O line before we can have a QB…

As good as the Bills Defense can be, its no where near the level of the Baltimore team.
We would be winning games if we could score more than 3 points in the red zone. Our O-line isn’t alll that bad, our QB sucks ass.
