Without even commenting on the topic of this thread (Elam’s play) it’s absolutely hilarious that the thread is a microcosm of the posters around here. Those known to criticize everything McD and Beane do are berating the OP, while those who are more even keeled are at least reasonably discussing the merits of the OP. You be you, TSWers…

True, but thankfully that's not the case.

…the Bills should shut it down for the last two weeks and use that time as their “bye”…they need to get healthy, particularly on defense. Give Trubisky a couple of starts and play the backups. Call guys up from the PS. Start game planning for all potential playoff opponents. Now, of course, if the Stillers do win then the 1 seed is still in play and it looks like Denver will have something to play for in W18 vs. KC, so my opinion completely changes. Edit: ahh, sorry, I thought the 2 seed was locked up if the Stillers lose. Point taken.

Sends the wrong message to the team. The WR room is tight, and injury free. Why even mess around with this guy?

Good lord…why on earth mess with team chemistry and culture by bringing in a malcontent like that? Hard pass.

Bad take. The Bills have given him numerous chances and he obviously hasn’t proven he deserves to stay on the 53 or PS.

Could part of that (in this game) be a function of not trusting the backup players in the secondary?

I didn’t vote but they’re all amazing. I’ve already watched the condensed version of this game again three times, just to marvel at how Josh managed this offense and re-appreciate those throws. I also agree with Josh that they left points out there despite scoring 48. Perhaps this is not the right place for this additional analysis, but I felt “better” about the defense after rewatching the game as well. Bernard was literally a fingertip away from deflecting or intercepting the 3rd-and-17 shot to St. Brown that kept Detroit in the game. I think he thought he had it. If that one pass isn’t completed this game never even has the appearance of being close. Would love to see this defense get just a touch healthier…and I am a bit excited about the prospect of a Hyde/Rapp safety combo for the playoffs.

This is one of those “WTF” moments where you wonder how the hell it passed. Truly a slap in the face to the attending fans.

The short FG miss was totally an alignment thing. I mean, how many of those short kicks do teams attempt anyway these days? What I'm looking at with respect to Bass is how he is striking the ball. That's why I'm not worried about him any more. He is really hitting the ball great. Every other kick on Sunday was blasted down the middle.

When Tim Settle talks, people...umm...listen?

Chargers' offense has fallen off a cliff. Steelers are completely inconsistent and unreliable. We all know what the Giants are. The Eagles rushed for 140 against them and only threw the ball 19 times.

Certainly nothing like EJ Manuel had...

ESPN just posted this rest of season and playoff simulation...we can only dream...

This.
