26CornerBlitz Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Oh I'll be here and rooting for the Bills too. I just realize that they are up against it in having to overcome their coach. Answer honestly: Do you think Mario Williams or the Buffalo Bills have a better chance of being in the 2016 playoffs? Who the hell can answer that question that this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) There are some serious leaks within this organization which need to be dealt with. How do you know the source isn't Mario or his agent? Edited December 31, 2015 by GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Well, Mario hasn't exactly been a magnet for the playoffs himself... @RyanTalbotBills Mario Williams never brought a ring to the Bills. The closest he came was reaching a settlement w/ his ex on her engagement ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While far from a sure thing for Mario or his random future team, you can't really think this guy is coming in to play MLB can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 The "leak" here is really interesting and makes sense. The only way to motivate Mario for this one game is the leak. He needs to play well since he's being showcased. If he plays incredible - 3 sacks or something - we might even get a trade offer. 11M is a good price for a top 5 pass rusher which is what he was.

Too much bad tape out there with him loafing this season. Film don't lie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Angel Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 If I remember correctly the Texans had the same issues with Mario at the end of his stay there. They want to move him from one side to the other of the line to help create confusion and mismatches. Mario bitched cried and whined. Part of bringing him here is the told him that he would only play LDE, so he only has to line up arcross from RTs and inflate his stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it as a lose lose for Mario. He turns it on in a meaningless season ender and it begs the question of where was he all season. He continues his deliberate quitting act and it further reinforces that he is a quitter. Regardless, can't see any team trading for him given his current deal. GO BILLS!!!

While far from a sure thing for Mario or his random future team, you can't really think this guy is coming in to play MLB can you? The narrative that Rex Ryan is a flaming moron but his defensive scheme requires players who are geniuses or better to line up, execute, and tackle seems curious. FWIW, I agree that there was something really deficient with the offense and defense this year. At times, these were both true: The defense was blown away against up tempo. The offensive pace could barely get out of an old-man shuffle to a simple walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Does he really need another bit of game film for other potential teams to watch at this point? The leak could be nothing or it could be an effort to have the inevitable booing pointed at Mario instead of Rex. That way we'll go into the offseason with fewer worries. Until week 2 of next year. What player are we supposed to boo at the final home game of 2016? Kyle? Gilmore? Sammy? Dareus? If Gilmore isn't extended my guess is that he'll be the attempted scapegoat next year but that it won't work and the energy will be focused on Rex. The narrative that Rex Ryan is a flaming moron but his defensive scheme requires players who are geniuses or better to line up, execute, and tackle seems curious. Not really. There are a lot of engineers that could design an awesome car that needed 279 levers and switches to be properly controlled. Fortunately most of the engineers realize that nobody could drive it so they scrap the plan. Rex's car keeps crashing into barricades and we all blame the driver.

Tell me which of those players up and quits on his teammates, coaches, and fans for the majority of the season and I will gladly tell you which one gets booed. Seriously though. Isn't this insistence on making this a Rex vs. Mario thing a bit childish? GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 If Bellicheat and his band of merry !@#$s made this announcement about a malcontent, they'd be heralded as a no nonsense organization that doesn't tolerate insubordination detrimental to the teams success.

BuffaloBillsForever Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Because of the cap hell in 2016, even if Mario Williams was putting up 12-15 sacks this year he was probably gone anyways because of his 19 million dollar cap hit. Even at those sack numbers he is still not worth the money. This is the best move either way moving forward...

BobChalmers Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 If he goes somewhere and gets 15-20 sacks next year I'm gonna be pissed. Well that would be pretty amazing since he's never done that before on two teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I agree that there was something really deficient with the offense and defense this year. At times, these were both true: The defense was blown away against up tempo. The offensive pace could barely get out of an old-man shuffle to a simple walk. This was the criticism of a defense that is based on playing a slow tempo offense, which is less and less today's game. Go back and read the transcript of the Bills press conference announcing Rex's hire--read only his comments and the word "genius" will never enter your thoughts. If Bellicheat and his band of merry !@#$s made this announcement about a malcontent, they'd be heralded as a no nonsense organization that doesn't tolerate insubordination detrimental to the teams success. When have they done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
