When he was out, the Bills' D lost its mojo.

That's because Jerry Grays D was anti-mojo.

Blitzing every play without any real plan didn't work.

It's gone from the rear view mirror.

TKO is the number ONE key to the bills resurgence..

Even more so than Losman

[Turf]

The defense lost their mojo before Takeo was gone.

[Mitchy moo]

No, I thin TKO was a TKO for the D.

[Marvelous]

I blame most of ourrun stopping woes last seaosn on us losing TKO.. Sure PigPats departure hurt but TKO was a beast against the run too... Him returning is exciting..

[Turf]

The downfall started the season before finale breakdown against the Pittsburgh scabs that Coware handed to Mularkey.

They have the injury wrong.....it was his achilles, not his ACL.

[JerseyBoofaloBills]

TKO is the best Linebacker in the business, i believe our D lost it's mojo after spikes got injured...i think we had 9 games letting up 100 yards rushing. but TKO is back, an there is no stoppin him.. LETS GO BUFFALO!

and Big Daddy is #2, And to prove their responsible journalism, they said Big Daddy is 36 when in fact he is only 33

[LtFinFan66]

It's that #1 is a Bill, #2 a Fin, #3 a Pat, and #4 a Jet

never mind. They are just giving one guy from each team and going by divisions. Don't think they are in order of biggest to smallest X-factors or anything.

I disagree. Crowell filled in very well for Spikes. The D just lost it's identity last season and was on the field more than it was off.

I'm a huge fn of Spikes, but this hardly explains the D dropping to the bottom rung.
