Jim in Anchorage Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Looks like Mario is finely cranking it up. Not just the sacks he was a Strong presence every down. Side note- Marcel looks like a fat kid waddling around the play ground trying to keep up with the jocks. Edited November 26, 2012 by Jim in Anchorage
benderbender Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Hooray! He sure knows how to turn it on when it counts!
jcbillsfan Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 The d is rounding into form. The offense is still a mess lead by a weak armed qb and a stubborn coach
Maury Ballstein Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Dareus was moneybags today...................Whatchutalkinboutwillis? Our D has been impressive these last two games especially Mario today
Jim in Anchorage Posted November 26, 2012 Author Posted November 26, 2012 The d is rounding into form. The offense is still a mess lead by a weak armed qb and a stubborn coach I was encouraged by the D's play except for Marcel as noted. But to little to late for 2012.

Mr. WEO Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Dareus was moneybags today...................Whatchutalkinboutwillis? Our D has been impressive these last two games especially Mario today Everything is relative, I guess. 8 of Indy's 1st downs came as 3rd down conversions. They allowed 2 1st downs on Indy's last drive before Gilmore's PI ended the game. They played 2 rookie QBs the past 2 weeks.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Looks like Mario is finely cranking it up. Not just the sacks he was always a Strong presence every down. Side note- Marcel looks like a fat kid waddling around the play ground trying to keep up with the jocks. We spent the 1st half of the season with a productive offense but no defense Now the defense is cranking it up and the offense can't produce Can we ever field a whole football team for a full game? Agree on Marcel. He really needs to start taking S&C seriously. Have a heart-2-heart chat with Bruce Smith.
Mark Vader Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Defense has played better. Still that 3rd & 17 play with Wayne being wide open was inexcusable, and was probably the play that decided the game.
Mark Long Beach Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Defense has played better. Still that 3rd & 17 play with Wayne being wide open was inexcusable, and was probably the play that decided the game. That play was horrible. I woke my wife up with my swearing fit after that play.

He has sucked most of this year but played his best game so far. Edited November 26, 2012 by Buffalo Barbarian
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 I thought Marcell played well today, on one series he made three plays in a row. He has sucked most of this year but played his best game so far. Dareus was a beast yesterday. That's one great takeaway is that our d line is looking like how we expected it to be. I'm so glad we didn't trade Mario for John Skelton.
Fan in Chicago Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Looks like Mario is finely cranking it up. Not just the sacks he was always a Strong presence every down. Side note- Marcel looks like a fat kid waddling around the play ground trying to keep up with the jocks. Agree that Mario is starting to make an impact. Disagree with your thoughts on Dareus - he played a very good second half in terms of pressure and being in the middle of tackles. Defense has played better. Still that 3rd & 17 play with Wayne being wide open was inexcusable, and was probably the play that decided the game. Overall, the D improved but did not make stops. Giving up a 9 minute drive to a rookie-led team is inexusable. Allowing multiple 3rd and long conversions is not a sign of a good D.
TheMadCap Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 I thought you were gonna say at least the rest of the home games will be blacked out and spare WNY the pain of watching this clown show...

Side note- Marcel looks like a fat kid waddling around the play ground trying to keep up with the jocks. that might be a little harsh, but i agree that sometimes it just looks like hes running in sand when he gets free out there. the extra weight is really hurting his agility/acceleration at times
papazoid Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Mario is a stud.....and will only get better as he gets healthier.....
NoSaint Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Mario is a stud.....and will only get better as he gets healthier..... i really do agree that people will be surprised with how much he can do. im not holding my breath for multi sack games every week, but i think that he will be a high impact every down player - both in the run and passing game. he may not be the pure pass rusher that the top 2-3 guys are (id argue hes not as far from it as this board thinks) but hes got such a complete game that it will really help this defense turn the corner going forward.
Awwufelloff Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 He is 1 sack away for being tied for 6th in the league in sacks.
