He didnt fit in. Do i wish he did? sure. I'm not the coach or responsible for the atmosphere or culture they are trying to build. When he was traded, it seemed to be a bit of a relief of players. a few had cryptic parting shots. There are a few different things here... do the powers that be at One Bills Drive miss him? No. They arent dumb, they know what they had and what he was capable of. Do the fans? sure, to a degree bc now they need something to blame JUST like the blamed SAMMY being traded before the year. The Tampa game he played 41 snaps, while having a combined 45 total in the previous 2. Enough to game plan for yes, but not a difference maker. They made a decision and decided he didnt fit the culture and may have even been the poster child for the anti culture. Right? Wrong? I dont know - its not my culture and I dont decide what fits and what doesn't.  The fact is, the Jags have had a GOOD D all year. The Bills have had an OPPORTUNISTIC D until 2 games ago. Along with that came momentum and points. Granted, way for FG then anything - but points none the less. As I said yesterday, what can the D do when the O goes 3 and out and keeps laying dud after dud. This D as it stands now if full of placeholders save a few key positions. Before the season Buffalo was perceived as tanking , while the Jags had a known commodity in their D. Now, majority of fans want the tank back on and they still have a winning record! (at least for one more week). Bottom line is this D greatly overachieved for a period of time, close to half a season. When you are getting so many turnovers things are smoke and mirrors to a degree. So, Im not sure what it is you guys want me to say? everything I say someone wants to challenge it - I mean, I could type Marcel Dareus is gos gift to football and the Bills made a horrible decision and got fleeced by a much superior Jags team.
Instead of trying to discuss and give insight as to the how/why - it seems no one will be happy until the above statement is written. Now, obviously i dont believe that bc as I've said there is a whole lot that goes into it and its not just as simple as everyone is happy until oct 27th when the Jags called the Bills out of the blue and offered a 6th (cond 5th) rd pick to the Bills for their All Pro DT and the Bills were looking to get worse in the run so it made sense for them..... I dunno guys...
TL;DR
We don't want you to say anything.

WE? ya got a mouse in your pocket? questions are posed to me or I'm made mention of (I know this because they say BILLSFAN) ssssoooo...... yeah.....

PS- you with your TL DR- if you REALLY didnt read and werent stuck on being ignorant - you wouldnt have referenced a question I asked 3/4 of the way through my response... Stop acting like a tool and have some class like the rest of your message board population. A monkey can manage to string together 4 key strokes (5 if you count the semicolon) and is at least smart enough to not discredit their 'insult' less than 10 syllables later!!! Agree or disagree with me, everyone else seems capable and willing to be able to string some sort of actual thought provoking response in which i've enjoyed learning about JAX POV and why things are the way they are. Try, you might like it
