I bet he's already blown threw all the money the Texans gave him.

That's what I said about Mario the entire time he was here. Can't count the times Dale and I were either laughed at or spewed at for pointing out the obvious with Mario. He is going to really stink in Buffalo. They're going to be really bad for years, and he'll hate that cold weather over there. He'll be cut after his 3rd season there.

I wish Mario and the Bills all the best but like I said in the Jacoby Jones thread, a Zebra don't change his stripes. Mario is what he is, an overhyped talented player who doesn't always play up to his potential. He takes plays off and sometimes takes games off.

Are you kidding me, someone talks and you're brain washed after a game? LOL If I am not mistaken he was drafted #1 overall by a poor Houston Texans Defensive team, he was it with a bunch of ok guys. They built that defense around Mario Williams, they became great because of him. He has not played in almost a season, ok he is making what 96 M to play like a madman I understand that but you are not paying him are you? So let things play out before we go calling this anything more than a guy trying to get his sea legs back.

Yo dumbass, the defense wasn't good until that "almost a season" he didn't play...

I'm guessing the Bills fan base isn't the most intelligent in the league:

Didn't Marion go out in the 5th game of the season?? Obvioulsy, but wouldn't that be less than even 12 months ago???

You need to understand that Buffalo is much further north than we are, which means that their rotation period around the sun is longer than ours. Ergo, from Oct 2011 to Sept 2011 may only be 11 months for us, but it is 13 months for them.

To be fair.. watching a game, waiting for MW to earn his paycheck can feel like an eternity, thus the time continuum factor can feasibly stretch 11 months into 13, just from a single game. Remember... Us Texans fans have had 6 seasons to adjust to this. Poor Bills fans.. they know not what they do.

Is Mario becoming the next Hainesworth? Big signing, no show on the turf! Sucks when they hit pay dirt and "retire" mentally. Bills fans are using excuses because they are afraid his big contract, will suck a lot of cap $ for future contracts. Its a make or break on his signing. So far...not good.

[AMartin56]

My favorite quote from a Bills fan was something along the lines of 'Mario has a major disadvantage when it comes to the pass rush...he has to keep one hand in his pocket to keep his money from falling out...'

I just watched the Bills replay. I saw Mario put one his on the qb just after the ball was gone. I saw a couple of running plays that mario disrupted. Sanchez was getting the ball off pretty quick and the game was over just after halftime. I saw about 3 plays he was a factor in. Thats $333,000 per play if he gets his entire $96,000,000.

Mario will show up big in about 1/3 of the games this year. Either he will have a matchup he likes(although I'm not sure what he did'nt like about this match up). Maybe he will have a bad week and want to take his frustration out on someone(although with all that money it might be hard to have a bad week). I'm sure he will find some reason to play good occasionally, just like he did here.

It looks like year-wise he was counting backwards from the last previous year, so I think he might actually be right.

Mario in blue, whoa, whoa, he slipped away
Vince Young caught up to him the very next day
They got the money, hey
You know they got away
They're not down south and they're still running today
Singin' go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run

Truer words have never been spoken about MW. Go count your $$$$$ MW.

Must have took the day off. Damn Defensive End.

What does this have to do with MW, his play or his complaing about the officials? I'm glad MW's Buffalo's problem now.

100 mil= LOL

More:

Defensive Line

Mario Williams
Time on Field: 90.5% snaps played; 57 at LDE
Stats: 1 tackle (solo)
Plus/Minus: -7 (5 positive plays, 12 negative plays)

Observations: The Bills biggest free agent acquisition was also the player that had the worst grade of any defensive lineman on the team. While Williams had a nice inside rip move before getting double teamed and also a solid speed rush at the end of the first half, by and large Williams just did not get the job done. His normal move was to try and go wide, which took him out of the play in stopping the run. There were also a few times where he was gobbled up on run plays in a one-on-one matchup against a tight end.

Rodney Harrison says Mario will disappear, fall off the face of the earth:

"He's financially set. So to come out as a free agent and decide to spend the prime time -- basically my prime years -- with the Buffalo Bills, you're not going to make the playoffs. You're not going to the Super Bowl."

Harrison, twice an All-Pro safety, spent the first nine years of his career with the San Diego Chargers and then signed with the New England Patriots in 2003 for the chance to win Super Bowls. He has two rings.

"They're not very good," Harrison continued on the Bills. "They don't have a franchise quarterback. The Patriots will always dominate that division. The Jets will always be second.

"So my point here is you go out and get a $100 million deal, well, wouldn't you've taken $80 million and gone somewhere where you could have been competitive each and every week? I just think this is a huge mistake for Mario Williams.

"Mark my words: He will get lost in the shuffle. He'll probably fall off the face of the earth."

Very interesting revenge matchup this week for Mario: Eric Winston & the Chiefs!

I second those feelings. I even called into Sirius and tried to make the same complaint and they hung up on me so that I wouldn't finish my argument. But they were screaming Buffalo is now a Super Bowl contender and they were doing it all week.

But no mention of the dominant performance that JJ Watt put on this past Sunday at all. That's okay. I'll take less media and more wins anyday.

That was awesome, right there!!!

Lemme be "on pace guy" for a minute. Marion is "on pace" to make a $1,000,000.00 per tackle!

[TexanSam]

I still expect Mario will have 10-12 sacks, but he'll be the same old MW doing it. Great game here and there with a lot of mediocre ones in between. Hell, he might have multiple sacks in a few games, but with a lot of plays off in between. It's who he is.

[False Start]

JJ doesn't miss him.
