BillnutinHouston Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I challenge everyone to watch the play that starts at 5:20 of the 4th quarter (Bills are down by 13 and absolutely need a stop to have any chance). Give me your take on Mario's level of effort. He comes free early in the play with about 6 yards of open space between himself and Sanchez. He starts running at Sanchez, then as he gets close he lifts his arms SLIGHTLY (to about head height) then immediately brings them down again and stops rushing. What is he thinking? With his 6'6" frame he needs to have his hands high in the air and at least jump if he can't get there in time. Knock down the pass or AT LEAST disrupt Sanchez's line of sight to Santonio Holmes. I noticed this in real time, but I think it looks worse watching it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 You cannot judge a player with Mario's talent on one regular season game. I read some of the negatives that pissed off texas fans said about him taking plays off. Early In the Steelers pre-season game he was and looked dominant. Then the one series or so in the last pre season game he looked like the way he played today? Kind of uninspired. What bothers me is a friggin practice squad player appeared to be the dominant player in that match up today. If the front 4 have pride, and I believe they do. KC will/should be getting schooled next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdog1960 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 i'm more concerned with what it would have cost to get a franchise qb instead. could we have dealt for a shot at rgIII or cam newton? what would that have cost? top draft choices for 2 years? 3 years? with the bills record of picks recently i think that would have been a good bet. watching cam newton right now convinces me what a top player at that position means. the rest of the panthers are no better and probably worse than the bills but they look like they always have a chance.

Who in Buffalo would you want a RG3, etc. coaching him? We need that guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 One thing i noticed is that none of our lineman were getting their hands up and we left passing lanes wide open for the short quick passes. i hate to say that M Williams did not seem very focused today and thats just not acceptable. The team can either lay down now or come out swinging after getting schooled by Jets. again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 yawn, that goes for your girlfriend Raimius too Thanks for not letting me down. I expected a middle school childish insult coming from someone who posts with the mental acuity and intellect of an 11 yr old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Mario a "victim" again. He's 6'6" 290 and a big cry baby. The one thing I got to say to you Mario is kick the guys ass if you don't like it. The refs are not your friend. http://espn.go.com/n...ement-refs-loss Well, there goes a tiny portion of his signing bonus to the league after those comments.

Dorkington Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The only reason players sign with the Bills is for a paycheck. Its clear we have no heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Top tier head coach? How bout Shanahan? Oh wait. He said "no" to Buffalo already. Cowher said no also. Which is why the Bills got Chan. So stop with the top tier crap. We have a top tier D Line, and had a top tier running back. I will say this though. I can see a coaching change if this ship doesn't get turne around. And yet another lesson on why the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Island Phil Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Dont worry, just because Haynesworth........oooops I mean Mario Williams was owned by RT Austin Howard, an undrafted free agent scrub doesnt mean he isnt super anymore. Does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 After one game? Come on lets at least give it a few games before we call anyone disappointing. Remember we won our opener last year 41-7 and we finished 6-10. For all you know Mario could have three sacks next week and look like a beast. Too much hyperbolic panic.

Mario should have knocked him out and taken them both out of the game. we would have been better for it maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
