All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

meaning whatever you say, whatever numbers you bring to the table, it won't make a hill of beans difference to coastal. Just let his delusions continue. it's entertaining if nothing else.
Mario Williams remains what he is - a sack first player, same as last season. Hardly ever plays a complete "DE" game - he has but 27 solo tackles, including his sacks and a measly 4 assists. Mario helps nobody but himself.
This is nonsense, if anything he gets less sacks because he plays so disciplined vs the run and watching for things like bootlegs, sweeps, cutbacks, misdirections etc
I get your point about Williams. Of course they overpaid him. There's a number of reasons for that, including it being a by product of free agency and trying to get players to come to the horrid franchise.
Of course, you now go out of your way to overstate and cry about his "fake" wrist injury (still waiting for some actual evidence of that, but I digress) and claims that he has done nothing to help this team
Has he gotten the team into the playoffs? Nope. Not even close.
Is he still one of the better and more talented players that has been on this team in a very long time? Hell yes.
Instead, you find one game you don't like his play and focus on that. There are much bigger problems on this team than him.
Including decisions made by Marrone. The fact is, if you want to complain that Williams has not carried this team to the playoffs, why not include Marrone in that too?
Buy hey, maybe he'll start to punt on 3rd down too.
Tying one players' signing to a playoff berth is the ultimate Fools' argument. Tim Tebow took basically the same Broncos team to the playoffs and the Broncos have added quality players at WR, Safety, Corner and Linebacker. They've lost some as well, but buying a Super Bowl seems to be the Broncos plan. Having Peyton Manning and the city of Denver itself has attracted these players. Buffalo does not have that advantage and manning would never have signed here.
My fervent hope is Denver makes it to the Super Bowl again and Manning chokes again.
At the end of the day, a team like Buffalo has to overpay to get a few players because they don't offer the ancillary benefits other teams and locales can.
Buffalo does not have that advantage and manning would never have signed here..
And that, right there, is the giant hole in his argument. This whole asinine thread is allegedly based on the contention that the Bills "should have" signed Manning instead of Mario, as if Manning was on a shelf in the QB department at Costco and the Bills just rolled their cart right past him, headed for the D-Line section.
Is Mario overpaid? Absolutely. Was the expenditure worth it? Without question.
This Defensive line is the best unit of any kind that the Bills have had since the early 90s. Easily the best Defensive line they've ever had.
They could have *****ed and whined that "we can't get FAs to come to Buffalo" or they could overpay a little, and I do mean a little.
This is a stupid conversation with no basis in reality.

we love us some Fool's Gold here in WNY!!!
It's all relative, I mean if Bruce was in his prime and playing today he'd be getting more than Mario because he is a better player no doubt. Other than that who cares? That said the Bills don't have a RB as good as Thurman on the roster nor a QB close to Kelly either. That's why we're not winning the division it has nothing to do with Mario. As Mario and the D are playing as good as any D in the league right now yet we don't have the players on offense to get us over the hump. It's time's like this I wish we'd kept Marshawn and used the draft pick that was used on Spiller on a guy like Dez Bryant.
