Yes.

 

i often asked why Elam was on the roster because he sucked and was never active. 
 

Turns out he really sucks and is borderline out of the league.

 

The answer is that Beano thought Elam and Ingram were NOT worthless players, otherwise they would have been dumped long ago. He was clearly wrong on Elam.

And yet Elam played over Ingram in the playoffs last year.

I still think he might change his mind in a few days

Yeah I assume if we win it might allow him to adjust his thought process unless he's hell bent to only finish this season with Philly if so, sorry not sorry but rules are rules and if you fail to report we put you on that list and you enjoy your time off. As I'm not helping Philly especially with them on the regular season schedule and maybe after.

I say this about Politicians and Bills’ GMs!

That would give him an opportunity to quit at halftime.

I don't really care that we lost ingram. The circumstances kind of suck, but if Slay changes his mind and comes, its a huge win. Ingram has been a nice story, but he can be replaced very easily, even if Slay decides to retire

If we beat Cincinnati, I think he'll change his mind

Yea that's a bad look for Beane. Was Ingram a critical piece? No. But did he provide some useful depth? Yep. Should you throw that away for a 34 year old? No.

 

That's sort of the head scratcher for me. Slay just isn't an upgrade for Benford, Tre, or Hairston at this point. 

 

They've invested a ton into Ingram who is a better athlete right now and can do a little bit of everything on the back end.

 

For Slay to have a major positive impact at this point in his career and the calendar we'd have to have a lot of things go wrong (injuries) and he'd have to start suddenly playing at a high level this year. Otherwise Ingram is the better roster fit.

I agree it's a bad look on Beane but not because Ingram > Slay - no, that is just crazy talk.  But it is bad because we lost Ingram.

 

But to Beane's credit you don't just let Slay move from toasted Pitt over to starting for a contender.  The Bills play Philly at least once more this season and Beane is not letting this happen.
