Buffalo actually was going about the building process the right way this time, until they fubared everything with the Wrecks hire last off season.
They built a dominant defense, and that started with Mario.
People should be frustrated with the lack of playoffs. People should be frustrated with hiring Wrecks. People should understand that Buffalo very could well have been Denver this season, with the established state of the defense and especially considering the 'upgrades' on offense made last off season. People shouldn't be pissed that the team threw a boatload of money at a possible future HOFer that actually (mostly) delivered what was expected, they should be pissed that they had actually gotten to the point where something was built...something was ready for success...and they flushed everything down the drain by hiring a buffoon to run the show from the sidelines.
If my choices are paying Mario or paying Wrecks, I'm ponying up for Williams. Every. Damn, Time.
