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...

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.

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.

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...

Seriously though. Isn't this insistence on making this a Rex vs. Mario thing a bit childish? GO BILLS!!! Mario was motivated to play for the last several years. If it is so much in his nature to "quit" why didn't he do it last year or right after he cashed his signing bonus? New coach, new system, no ability to communicate that system.....Mario pouts which is on him.....Rex does nothing to fix the issue and the tire fire continues. Rex is a better speaker than Mario so he gradually goes from smelling like a tire fire to smelling like a rose.....but he is still a tire fire. I have no way of knowing what goes on in the locker room so there is no way to assess the root causes of Mario's attitude this year. I am smart enough to see that Rex had the ingredients for a top 5 defense and turned it into something that looked like the Frankfurt Galaxy. I just want to see the Bills win. It isn't about Mario or Rex really. When I see 2016 through the lens of having a coach that can't get production from one of the top players in the NFL, it is frustrating. We'll get some scrub with a high motor in there and we'll all be impressed with Rex? No thanks. Let's get some wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 He'll neither play in NE nor get 15 sacks. I'll wager whatever you please. After 2017 what are the odds of the fans saying "I wish we had kept Mario for the last 2 years" vs. "I'm glad we had Rex for these last 2 years"? I can buy the notion that both should be gone if that is what some are selling. I can even buy the theory that it is simply a salary cap thing. I can't agree that he is the cause for this and that Rex is poised to take this defense to the next level. That is simply crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Player Available Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 How about New England almost every season? Albert Haynesworth, a comparable player to Mario at this point, was cut midseason. The whole Milloy thing went down poorly, and tons of other good and formerly good players left the team disgruntled (Seymour, Law, etc.). IIRC Fat Albert was cut for reasons similar to what 94 should have been cut for. The Bills must be DE starved Too even suit him up Sunday. He will be useless on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
