    Well thank god Rex came along... Mario now has a solid excuse ;-)
    I was banned for calling Yardie a coward, by DB, in a tread about women’s issues happening right now in America. Nothing better than republican men silencing women’s voices, especially in the Buffalo Spin zone!!

    I've been pretty much in the "eh" camp after his first year here. He simply does not dominate games. Ever. And he takes about 50% of the plays off. Yeah, people say he is double teamed but I'm tired of that bs. I've watched him in games (live) just to track his efforts. And in no way can anyone tell me he doesn't coast half the time.

    So for me, I'd do a heavy, heavy restructure or let him go fish elsewhere. We'll see this Sunday how much of an impact he really has given he'll be out. The challenge is Kyle is out, so the line isn't all there, but still....if they dominate the game, it goes a long way into showing how much impact he really has.

    Re: Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

    The Buffalo Bills have the longest active playoff drought in North America, and anything that questions the status quo is met with 56 pages of vitriol.

    Rex accomplished more in his first 2 years as a head coach than the Buffalo Bills have achieved in a quarter of a century, and folks want to run him out of town because he is "using the 100 million dollar man wrong".


    When it's all said and done, your concession money went towards funding the Mario Williams era--with a high water mark of 9 wins and no playoff appearances. OP will get 0 credit for his stance, but the record books will show that Mario did NOTHING here. Watch the Bills go on a run with him and Kyle out for the rest of the season and play the best D they have played in 20 years...

    The Bills have been bad for so long that their entire demographic (18-34 year old males) has absolutely NO knowledge of what a successful organization looks like when run right. I'll give you a hint: it doesn't tie up a quarter billion on a d line that can't get to the QB without sending in 3 extra blitzers.

    I will say that I think Mario signaled a change off the field with finally making Buffalo an attractive free agent destination. He was the first real marquee free agent that we got here and I think that was a big step forward. Now on the field Mario did have his moments, but probably not 100 million worth. Im not quite as hard on Mario as many of those on the board are, but I do think after this season its time to renegotiate his contract and move on if he's not willing.

    On your last point thats very true. I know what a successful organization is, and I know its not the Bills (though I do think they're finally taking steps in the right direction). Im 22 years old and I don't ever remember a successful Bills team (I know there have been some in my lifetime, but I was too young to remember).

    Of course he is.

    he was done the moment he opened his mouth publicly against this coaching staff.

    hes going to turn himself into a victim of a coach who mismanaged his talents and shop himself to the next highest bidder in line this coming offseason.

    No way man. If you don't agree with someone's post. You have to do the Swiper and put them down until they stop posting in the thread.

    While I agree with your point. At the time the Bills signed Mario they needed a legit pass rusher and he fit the bill. Then, a few years down the road. Dareus turned into a monster and I think they learned their lesson when letting Pat Williams walk. You couldn't let Dareus walk after this season. I hope they rework Mario's deal. If he doesn't want to play ball, they should try to trade him or cut him if they can't find a willing partner.

    Yesterday wasn't the best defense they've played in 20 years.

    Sorry, but people aren't complaining because Rex is misplaying 1 player, it is because he is misplaying the entire defense, or at the very least, the front 7.

    If you want to blame one person for the defense's fall to mediocrity, we all know who that person is. He has a magnificent ego, believed the hype of his genius far too much, especially considering his defenses of the past 4 years.

    If this was a first year coordinator who did this to the defense, he might not have made it through 8 games.

    As far as his record..he took a team he inherited to the playoffs. Maybe we can bring Dick Jauron back, he once took the Bears to the playoffs.

    Glad you non-bigoted up from your 2 year nap in time for the Rex Ryan era. What you missed...before he got here, the overpaid front 4 actually WAS getting to the QB without blitzing, and it was doing better than any team in the NFL.

    That wasn't good enough for The Ego, because is wasn't being done HIS way.

    When he first showed up, he said, "If I were the Bills, I wouldn't be happy being the 4th best D in the league."

    I wonder if he's re-thinking that statement.
