    "I Don't Buy We Can't Win"



    "If I'm not mistaken,'' Williams said, not angrily but stridently, "this team beat New England last year. This team almost beat the Giants. This is an any-given-Sunday league. I don't buy that we can't win. This is the NFL. New teams win every year. If that wasn't the case, teams in the big cities, the better cities, would win all the time. And you see that's not true.''
    @bbwolf90 to @SI_PeterKing
    He is saying the right things and hopefully on Sundays doing them too!

    He is absolutely correct. There was only a few games the Bills got blown out in that I can remember. Vs Dallas, Miami once and the Jets once.

      Hopefully that attitude spreads through the locker room like wildfire!

        I hope he & Jimbo become life-long firends, Mario seems like a real class act.

            You heard how important it was for Mario to meet Jim Kelly at his house, Mario could be our future embassary for incoming FA / Players. Jim loves the Bills & our area, spread the love.

              we've had a lot of players come through and want to be winners. we will need to see results.

              but on paper, the bills look a whole lot more competitive than they did last year at this time.

                Give me QUALITY over quantity everyday. Mario is the second quality FA to come to Buffalo with Nick Barnett being the first. Before Barnett signed last year, I think Chris Speilman was the last quality FA to come to Buffalo. Can't wait for the draft!

                  I have a weird feeling that Blackmon falls to us in the draft, that'd tip the balance of power in the AFC East.

                    You really think a rookie WR is all that separates us from Tom Brady, Wes Welker, Gonkowski (Lloyd also)?

                    I know we added Mario Williams but I think people are getting a little carried away with expectations. We still have some serious O-Line holes (Bell is yet to re-sign), no clear #2 WR, and a suspect LB group. Lets not forget the Patriots went to the Superbowl last year while we could only go 1-5 in the division.
                    True fans want wins, not draft picks.

                      Good. Win.
                      The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

                        I agree, but if Blackmon fell to #10, I think the Bills would find a number of teams would want to trade up to draft him, that would help the Bills a lot.

                          bills have two ways to be good next year.

                          1. get another rusher as a DE or LB in draft. That will automatically add depth and will make it less likely that we'll sustain injuries on our DL that just sidelines the rush.
                          2. Add starters on the OL to push the talent we already have as starters, and to give us some great depth. i think the bills will want to have backups across tackle, guard and center. No more having a RT going down and moving LG over and then putting a rookie into a position he's not comfortable with.

                          if the first four bills picks are DE, LB, OT OT in whatever order, i'm happy.

                          i really think our DB's got a free pass with this focus on the rush.

                            would you be suprised if buffalo takes martin, reiff or adams at pick 10? nix was at ohio states pro day and was apparently really interested in adams...

                            19 reps doesnt bother me becasue hes strong as hell on tape, especially in the running game. plus didnt solder do 17-18 reps? hell dareus only did 24
