I didn't realize he got hurt yesterday at some point, but -- and it pains me to say this because I've been a fan -- he has been bad this year. And it's not just the scheme. He consistently gets controlled in one on one matchups. Outside observers who track plays all seem to think he's having a poor season as well.

 

I will not be surprised if he's not on the team next season given the contract. We'll see.

it was mentioned on twitter during game but also the bills radio broadcast mentioned it as well. One reason I mute the tv and listen to broadcast is for info on injuries that don't get mentioned on TV unless guys are carted off etc

Seems to be just taking up blockers and not very happy about the way he is being used. I don't get it.

That is my take too. Until this week, it looked like the ends were told to contain the pocket and/or pay attention to something beyond just collapsing the pocket. They were not creating the same chaos they did last year when it was clear the mission was to go kill the QB.

 

Hughes clearly had the green light to attack last night and looked like his old self.

 

That unit is really missing Kyle Williams. The depth guys are really pretty good, but not the consistent handful Kyle is when used more than their usual limited rotation.

No guys. As the experts on the board say, if you don't see his value setting the edge and stopping the run game, you don't get football. He's the best player on the defense.

 

What a crock. Defense looked it's best the last two weeks. Coincidentally the two games he hasn't really played in.

Ray Lewis (who knows a Rex defense) really laid into Mario last night and blamed him for the late first half TD. Said it was the wrong time for him to improvise on what was a decent play call.

Yeah, I saw that. One of the advantages of having a former Rex player watching the game. He knows the responsibilities. Nobody would have ever blamed Mario on that play without Lewis making that comment.

something is seriously wrong, he's gone from stud to dud.

 

if cut after this 2015 season , team would save almost $30.0 mil over next two seasons with $7.0 mil in dead money.

 

if cut after the 2016 season, team would save almost $15.0 mil with $1.6 in dead money.

Hes Battling the math! He keeps counting his money without using a calculator and just cant get to 100 million.

He's had his big contract for a while, this theory makes no sense.

To be fair, he played for him a long time ago. It's possible the wrinkle has changed since 2008 or he's just sticking up for his guy. It's an added perspective but not end all be all

People were all over Hughes who's been playing his :censored: off. Now it's Mario's turn I see. :doh:

 

I think people were on Hughes for his inability to control emotions. His play has been solid all season. I think people are catching on that Mario has been coasting this year. I haven't seen that from Hughes. Out of control at times, yes. But not coasting.
