Mario Williams has been a great addition. 42 sacks in 60 games so far. 95 career sacks and only 30 years old. Before we cut anyone lets consider availability and age.
It's easy to scapegoat one of the highest paid defenders on the wrong side of their prime, but Mario has lots of tread left on his tires.
We are better off if both Kyle & Mario Williams are Buffalo Bills in 2016 & beyond.
Consider this...there's a long list of guys who produced well over 50 sacks past the age of 30. Jason Taylor comes to mind. The guy was 6'6'' 255, 40 lbs lighter than Mario, but still managed 59 sacks (age 31 to age 37) his final 7 seasons.
I see Mario following in the Julius Peppers mold another guy of similar build. Both are born in January and are 5 years apart. Since the season Peppers turned 31, 2011, Peppers has posted 43.5 sacks the past 5 seasons.
In case people are wondering any guy we might draft would be lucky to get 40 to 50 career sacks.
The talk on here of, many of whom are advocating "cutting" Mario now while still under contract is short-sighted. When looking at the facts and hard data, the guy will likely produce another 25 sacks by the most conservative of estimates over the remainder of his career. On the high end Mario will likely get 50 sacks.
Now is there a need to restructure Mario? Of course. Now is the time to lock him up through age 35, or the 2019 season. Amortizing the cost of retaining versus the uncertainty of replacement one could easily ascertain Williams' value at $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 average per season over the next 5 seasons. This is Jerry Hughes level money. With a cap hit of $7,000,000 by cutting Mario in 2016, it makes sense to either trade him, which likely won't happen due to the remaining contract, or to simply renegotiate a long term contract that represents the value he will produce over the next 5 seasons. This is similar to what we did with LeSean McCoy's contract.

Tyrod has played 11 games & is 6-5. He's getting better & it appears he's reading the defense more & stepping up in the pocket.
Still the last 3 games will decide what we should do at the QB position. It's time to cut Tyrod loose and see what we really have. He's 0-5 when attempting over 30 passes. Also Taylor's completion percentage is falling as more of his targets are downfield throws.
-
We have a young core of players. As they age the assumption is they will get better.
How much longer do the elite Teams with older QBs have left?
Hopefully we turn the corner in 2016 or 2017.
-
Whatever happens I'm looking forward to a better record than 6-7 at this point next season.
Looking at our weaknesses now we could use: a true do-it-all kicker, punt returner, and a difference maker at linebacker and younger depth on the Dline. A prototype possession jump ball WR in the mold of Demarious Thomas or Brandon Marshall.

Shady knows Sully is a hater.

Defense is better IMO. Schematically our players are still learning the Ryan system. The system is working. We cut New England's point total in half.
Tyrod has been a revelation. Put in Tyrod versus Cincy & Jax and we likely are 7-5 or 8-4. Thus this thread would not evem exist. If the Bills beat Philly things start to get real interesting.
-
I'd go for one of the All Blacks
-
Tyrod has shown clutch ability vs Tennessee; his 2 big scrambles & dime to Hogan.

Monday night Cleveland fails to execute a simple game clinching field goal. Tonight Detroit fails to defend a 61 yard hail mary. What last second heart wrenching loss do the football gods have planned for Buffalo?
-
Who would have ever guessed the actor turned NFL backup would beat Tommy?
-
Watt is a great player but he is human.
Here are his weaknesses:
Won't consistently get the edge on tackles with his get off or quickness. Plays high at times, can be blown off the ball by the double team, but does fight hard to hold ground. Lacks some lateral mobility both rushing the passer and playing in space. Will occasionally give up outside contain.
-
Beat the Hoyer led Texans. 6-6 > 5-7.
Beat the Sanchez led Eagles. 7-6 > 5-8.
Beat the Cousins led Redskins. 8-6 > 5-9.
Beat the Cassel led Cowboys. 9-6 > 5-10.
Beat the Fitzpatrick led Jets. 10-6 > 5-11.
We can whine about what could have been after this season, but I am holding out hope.

Wasn't a fan of Marrone. Rex is 5-6, 5-4 sans EJ. Give Rex Tyrod and we are 6-5 & it's a whole different story.
-
Imagine if Rex screwed conventional wisdom & never punted past the 50. 4 runs / receptions at 2.5 yards is all you need. Sprinkle in a few play action bombs to Sammy and who knows.
-
OP is proof positive that Bills fans are the drunkest in the league. Yeesh! Put the bottle down & step out of your car.

Taylor disappears for too long during games. He simply has to be more consistent throughout the game if we are to win games
Yesterday especially the second half Taylor needed to make a play with his feet as he did in Tennessee. It appears he's not able to make those dynamic runs. If he was can make 1 or 2 big scrambles a game it would force teams to play a safety closer to the LOS and back the corners off.
-
Might I add not properly charging the radio headsets in the linebacker & quarterback helmets during the Jacksonville game. The NFL even said it was an issue with us not charging the devices. Don't we have our own analytics guy? You would think he could show Rex a chart on the importance of radio communications. I mean damn....
-
The NFL should fire 25% of these officials per year. Holding officials accountable for ****ty results would fix the problem.
-
We are not mathematically eliminated. There's your hope for optimism.
-
I'd rather we draft a legitimate QB and have yrs of success
That's the correlation. Find a franchise QB. Taylor has 6 games to show he can be that guy.
-
I don't buy into the conspiracy. That's not to say that I don't believe that a few zebras could have possibly been bought off through the years.
What I do buy is Belichick & Ernie Adams have a contigency plan for every scenario.
When the Bills beat the Pats in 2011 Belichick lobbied hard for Fred's game clinching catch to be called a touchdown. When the officials said no, Belichick went ballistic.
What happened next shows the Pats level of gamesmenship. With victory guaranteed and the Bills in kneel down mode, Wilfork tried to bludgeon Fitz by dribbiling his head into the turf. The Cheats claimed thet were trying to cause a fumble on the kneel dow. Everyone knows they were trying to cause a retaliatory strike from a Bill. Thankfully the ensuing melee resulted in no Bills penalty which would have put the field goal in jeopardy.

No, stopping when running and jumping to catch the ball where he doesn't get any yards for the catch is something he does quite often. It's a bad habit and just wrong. Not getting the first down when he has a good chance at it because he is unaware of the first down marker is something he does all the time. This game he HAD the first down already then went backwards and got tackled. That was the play that preceded the dumb third and inches call and we have to give up the ball. If he just knows where the first down marker we don't even have third and inches.
Woods had a ball stripped out fighting for extra yards earlier this year. Again one has to wonder if the coaching is asking them to do more after the catch or if they are told to go down.
-
It's something he does a lot. Not getting the first down when he can is something he does a very lot and it hurt us bad in this game. It's an elementary thing any decent WR does.
31 yards was not a first down? If you are referring to another play wasn't that based on the official determining where forward progress had stopped?
Why can't Buffalo win?

It comes down to not scoring enough points and giving up too many. If the offense produced more drives that ended in scores, if the defense stopped touchdowns and gave up only field goals. Speaking of kicking, Dan Carpenter has been garbage this season. Makes you understand why Rex didn't attempt the 53 yarder last week.
