Justice Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Looks like Mario Williams might be a bust with the Bills in year one of his tenure, but will turn it around next year. This is just my opinion, but I can't see #94 being an all out bust. Maybe he just got a little complacent and content with all the money he just received after missing the majority of last season. Maybe his game isn't back. I don't know. But I do believe he will respond to the challenge and become a dominant player again, as he did in the past. Mario has shown that he had the ability to bounce back. When he was a rookie he struggled mightily and a lot of people started calling him a bust. They were proven wrong and hopefully history repeats itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kipers Hair Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 if 20% of his contract duration is a bust...it's all a bust.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamSandwhich Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I think he bounces back sometime in the middle of this season...maybe this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I think expectations being too high and the complete lack of patience are an albatross on this team in too many fan's eyes. We pretty much completely overhauled the defense. Brought in 2new DEs, new rookie CB, new DC with new scheme, and dumped veteran leaders - which is proving more damaging than I think anyone is considering. And everyone expects instant success. Granted... it would be nice to see at least some basic level of competence; even the most pessimistic of us didn't see record breaking futility. However, people forget that change of this magnitude does not often relate to immediate success. Rookies almost always take 2-3 yrs minimum to produce consistently. New FAs take time to adjust as well to their new surroundings. I expected a slow start. Again, this level of craptastic play is inexcusable, but you certainly don't trash it all after 5 games as quite a few are suggesting. A long way to say... I agree. Mario will almost certainly play better. If not for any other reason than it's almost inconceivable that he could play worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were proven wrong and hopefully history repeats itself. Hopefully, but a Veteran should not be having this much difficulty. One thing for sure is he needs to work on his explosiveness bc he is always slow off the ball, He better start working on Cleans, swings and box jumps. He also need start working on his rush moves, no DE is strong enough to Bullrush a tackle all the time as those guys are always bigger thus neutralizing his rush. He needs to incorporate the Hump (Reggie White move) which for his size would a great move. And what ever happened to the swim, rip, and spin, all this BS of engaging with Hands all the time needs to stop. It's like a wrestler who only uses a double leg take down eventually he's going to get stuffed, like Mario has by rookies and journeymen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouds Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 There won't be more than 2 years of Mario in Buffalo, he'll get cut after the 2013 season because it makes financial sense to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 He won't be a bust, He's a locker room leader and is better since coming back from injury. Sincerely, Shawne Merriman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeHateMe Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Meh, there are no excuses for him. He is getting paid $100 Million to make plays and get sacks. You can say new defensive scheme and players around him but I'm not buying it. He gets singled up most of the time and doesn't beat his man... That isn't worth the money he gets paid. He doesn't even show any emotion. Do something, anything out there! Throw your F'n helmet or kick someone. I think Houston saw that this guy had all of the physical tools in the world but didn't have the passion to be the best or the work ethic to get there. Their D is better without him... Ours is worse with him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 He's 5 games into a 6 year contract. I know we all think each season is the last one for the Bills in Buffalo, but jeez louise.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouds Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 E He's 5 games into a 6 year contract. I know we all think each season is the last one for the Bills in Buffalo, but jeez louise.... Mario makes the most money in his first two years, after that the third the Bills would save around 6m in cap by cutting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'm guessing there were a few that said the same of Albert Haynesworth. Show em the money and guarantee them a boat load and, unless their ultimate passion is love of the game, they've probably already got out of the game they wanted to and now it's just about enjoying the kwan. To hell with the game and your reputation as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 There won't be more than 2 years of Mario in Buffalo, he'll get cut after the 2013 season because it makes financial sense to do so. I can see this. He doesn't appear to have a bad attitude but something isn't right (his DC). But maybe Fat Albert will have someone to hang with in 2014. Cut him loose at the 50 mil point. Then offer JJ Watt 150 million and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcelstephon Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Like everybody else, I loved the signing but the Bills would of been better off finding d lineman with more of a leadership type ability and using the rest on a proven wide receiver. I should be the GM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly. he really looks casual off the ball. Then gives some effort and then pouts.Jk about the pouting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 The entire defense is a bust When I watch this defense I see a bunch of confused players that appear to be thinking instead of just reacting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I hate this baord sometimes. We are already writing off the 100 million dollar man 5 games into the season. Its maddening. He needs to play better but its week 6 people, calm down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfatbillsfan Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I don't know why but I have a feeling the Bills are about to turn it up. This doesn't mean I think they're going on a 10 game win streak. I just think they're going to start plaing better. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing since I want Wanny gone. But if Wanny can somehow turn this D around and make them play... I live in Arizona and knowing right now they are just a couple of hours away I wish I could go down to Phoenix and give them a pep talk. At least let them know they're my team and I will always be a Bills fan no matter what. But for the love of GOD could you guys please act like you give a crap about the game of football?
