What a Tuel

Mario's stat line post bye week: 4 tackles 1 assist 1 sack 7 games. Edit: Just to compare: Dareus stat line post bye week: 26 tackles 8 assists 0 sacks 8 games Hughes 28 tackles 7 assists 4 sacks 8 games Bryant 21 tackles 9 assists 0 sacks 7 games (estimated)

Buffalo Sports fans have some sort of complex in which they are always questioning "if they got the wrong guy". Of course that changes with winning, but the non stop theorizing about who the next "problem" is, is very telling of the average Buffalo fan's mindset. Who can we blame next? It goes from the bottom (players) all the way up to now we are questioning if we got the right owner? Give me a break.

Losing by 3 to an illegal pick play wasn't "kicking our ass" but to each their own.

So you think we finished worse because our running game did better?

The only thing I can think of is field position. If you have faith in your defense stopping them from the 20, then they punt, and you maybe get it at the 40, and only need a field goal to win.

Weeden might not look bad, but it seems to me the Titans want a 2nd first overall pick in a row

His last 6 games with the Texans he had 10 tackles 1 assist 5 sacks and 0 STF. That is more like the first half of this season than the second half where he isn't trying. Not really a fair comparison though because he is 4 years older.

Mario Williams Pre Bye Week 7 games 10 tackles 3 assists 3 sacks 3 STF Post Bye Week 7 games 3 tackles 1 assist 1 sack 0 STF (edited to include today's game - shut out again if I am not mistaken) I am clearly not an expert, nor claiming to be, but he certainly doesn't look the same, and he is clearly not getting off 1on1 blocks.

Seriously man, you just need to watch the tape. He isn't trying, and is getting taken on 1on1. That isn't what we pay for no matter the scheme.

It's not often fans of a team get duped twice by the same QB.

Interesting thought. I would certainly rather play the Jets than the Steelers despite their loss to the Ravens somehow.

He actually said this post game? I replayed it too, then what was his confusion? Why would Belichick want to kick? I guess he did outsmart himself

I saw this and I think the official blew it. I heard the official say "you want to kick" or some variation of that, and I believe the Patriots guy thought he said "you want the kick", and responded with "yes we want to kick that way" thinking they were going to get the kick. The official should have never suggested an option. Blown call, and the pats fans are going to whine a lot now. The officials are out to get them you know.

eh? I didn't hear that. Meh, they were playing against our 2nd, and 3rd stringers as well.

If you are referring to today's game, it isn't hard to notice Mario Williams lack of effort. I really like the guy, and not sure what is going on, but at this point he should just be benched.

He is the one that is mad and wants to be able to say what we are all going to hear nonstop all off season about Rex and the Jets.

I have been a season ticket holder in the past, and was this year, however I don't have the schedule to make it every week. I have been a Bills fan for a long time, and although I desperately hope they make the playoffs soon, the constant negativity, sarcastic, and petty remarks follow this team like a bad stench. Especially when the casuals or non football fans get a hold of it. Wish we could really change the attitude of the fan base, and of course losing all these years has a ton to do with this, but every little piece of negative or positive news is always tinged with sarcasm or hopelessness. Sometimes I wish we could just be fans of the Buffalo Bills, and not fans of breaking a 16 year streak that has nothing to do with current personnel. It is consuming us. As for Rex, he has had a top 10 defense every year in New York except 2013 (11), I go with yards per game because points scored against covers up an atrocious offense which is where you could really criticize Rex and their GM for. However his defense was never bad in New York,

Rex Ryan did not get jettisoned in NY because of his defense.... As for the OP, yes people need to get a grip. It's becoming frustratingly annoying the amount of crying that is happening. We get it people, 16 years. Some of us still want to talk about our team without the petty, sarcastic remarks.

The Jets D has been a more positive thing for the Jets the past 4 years than the Bills D has been a positive thing for the Bills.. Amazing the hype the D is getting, but it is sounding more and more like a learning curve than anything, and that can be improved upon with practice and commitment, and yes the right pieces to fit the scheme. It is what it is.

A promising first 3 years to build up to 1 winning season and getting fired after 2 more losing seasons? Do you view his tenure there as a success? Do you think he would have lasted 2 years with the Bills in that scenario? (Assuming fans have a say)

I can see that, but remember they had to sit our starting d line because they weren't giving the QB's a chance. Did something change here?

Miami showed interest in him as a DC, he turned them down. He certainly wants a head coaching gig. I am not sure he deserves one though, despite the savior status he has with a lot of Bills fans. Would Bills fans have pulled out the pitchforks on him year 1 or year 2 in Detroit? 2-14 2009 6-10 2010 10-6 2011 4-12 2012 7-9 2013

I just don't understand why they were hyped all offseason. They must have been practicing this scheme. Why didn't they see the signs of this incompatibility then? Not enough practice?

This is that same QB argument. Just because the Bills QB's weren't good doesn't mean you don't give a reasonable chance for rookies coming out of college to develop. Same thing with Coaching. Just because former Bills Coaches likely wouldn't have worked out, doesn't mean consistency and roster turnover aren't a thing to be considered. When you start taking past history into account in current decision making, you end up like the Browns. Not to mention what decent HC will come to the Bills if it is playoffs year 1 or die?

He went to shake the guys hand? So he did or did not feel threatened by the guy standing with a bat dressed in "all black clothes", spooooooky attire btw This all reeks of a PR Expert going through the film and saying ok "here is what we have to do to turn the tide - 1) Odell is the victim 2) Get former player support 3) The Panthers are cold stone killers" As for the Beckham retreated thing, his signature is to get his punches and cheap shots in and then when a player retaliates (which is also not ok), he holds his hands up like "I didn't do anything!"
