Mario should be the Defensive player of the week & should have been #1 on Deion's list.

4.5 sacks, a Bills franchise record. You know the Bills, the team Bruce used to play for.

Also, the Panthers never gave up 4.5 sacks to any player before yesterday.

Mario SHOULD have had 5.5, that one play where Cam just escaped his grasp - very few players in the NFL could have wriggled out of that one.

I rewatched the game and think Mario left at least two more on the field.

He could have had more but he couldn't through the holding on a couple of plays. Later in the game, they started blocking him with 3

Watch for NYJ to cut him low.

The most important thing is that we aren't talking garbage time sacks like last year.

These were 3rd down and gamechanging plays. He was great against the run as well.

The sacks he had last year were almost unanimously meaningless and I think we were all reasonably unhappy.

Hopefully this is the start of a new Mario and teams have to gameplan for him again. He was devastating out there.

He had at least 8 decent chances.

Mario is leading the league in sacks right now.

Re: Mario top 3 players of the week per Deion Sanders

Mario also had 4 tackles for loss, That was a dominant performance by Mario.
Being over looked is the game by Kiko Alonso, he had 9 solo stops, a sack, an interception and a pass defensed, pretty impressive from our rookie LB. Through 2 games, Alonso has 14 solo stops, 5 assist, 1 sack, 1 int. 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery and 1 pass defensed.

He was also being held on that play, blatantly.

He generally gets these sacks in bunches so we may not see anymore for a few more games but I hope history doesn't bear out obviously.

This place is becoming a joke with all the miserable Bills "fan" trolls. I pine for the good old days, you *****s have run off most of the good posters.

Hopefully he's pissed at how he played against the Jets' RT Austin Howard last year.
