The Bills have played the Rams(week 1 before all their injuries), Vikings, Titans, Dolphins, Ravens, Chiefs and no team scored more against them than we did and they got their number 1 CB back for this game as well. We're missing half our offensive line, have St. Brown and a bunch of castoffs at WR, a banged up Swift and castoff Williams at RB yet we had our way with them only needing to punt once, yet the "coaching sucks". lol it's laughable.

Relatable today.

I believe one key problem with how the Tigers would identify talent in the past is that they focused on toolsy guys who were athletes first, rather than guys with well-established baseball skills. You can tell because of how often Al’s press releases would describe players they drafted, traded for, or signed as being “athletes”. They seemed to be laboring under the notion that they could obtain the best athletes and then train them to become great baseball players. I’m not sure I can come up with even a single example of that approach succeeding.

Scott Harris does not strike me as the lapdog type. The Tigers, like any other organization, need to identify, attract, obtain, train, and retain solid personnel. They carry a very poor record at identifying and training personnel as the last 40 years testify to. Because they cannot identify quality players, even when they have spent in the past, they have had woefully horrible rosters. The organization has been incredibly bad at developing the meager talent they have been able to obtain. For a sustained run as a mediocre team (81 wins) , an MLB team has to be able to add 3 position players every year to its roster to stay mediocre, say nothing of improve. The number of actual MLB position players that the farm system has produced since the early 1980's is horrid. There has been a lot of bad spending decisions in the MLB over the last 40 years as well. As I see things, Harris has made an attempt to address the glaring ineptitude that has been the Detroit Tigers. Let's see what happens. Let's see what happens on his hold 'em or fold 'em decisions. That will tell us a lot. I still think there will be some free agent siginings of note. But at least let's give the guy some time.

Houston has more sacks on the season than Thibodeaux.

Hoping you all are happy, healthy, and spending time with your loved ones, and counting your blessings. It’s sometimes difficult to acknowledge the very good things that are in your life. Today would be the perfect day to say those things out loud. God bless you all. 🦃

The best offensive player yesterday was a 4th round pick. The best defender in the previous game was arguably McNeil a 3rd round pick and Joseph was the best defender before that a 3rd round pick.

I don't have to, thank god, and I feel sorry for anyone who does.

Apparently 5 snaps.

Is it late in St Petersburg, Screwy?

People say Goff is a terrible QB, they say our RBs suck, our best WR is a "slot receiver" yet somehow we're in the top 5 in offense? Explain that if the coaching sucks? Our defense was undermanned to begin with now we're missing arguably our 3 best defenders yet we held a Bills team to below average yards and points but again the coaching sucks according to some people.

Given they still had timeouts it may have been worth their time to try and draw Buffalo offsides. I don’t think Campbell lost us this game. If anything he kept us in it. I think Campbell is a very good motivator, an excellent leader, and an okay game day coach. For where we are as a franchise right now I think he’s perfect. -edit Fine a perfect coach would be perfect in all facets. I have no complaints though.

I think Goff is who we thought he was. He’s putting together a body of work that the expectations are clear. He’s not going to carry the team on his back. He’s not going to win you the game. He won’t make a ton of mistakes. And with a good supporting cast, you’ll probably win a fair number of games. As others have said, if Chark catches that pass, we aren’t thinking about how it was a poor decision. And frankly, if the receiver on the other end was someone better than Chark, they probably catch it anyway. I set my expectations before the game that I wanted a competitive game. Doesn’t make the sting less, but we definitely got a competitive game. I think - if they continue on this trajectory - this could be one of the best teams in franchise history next year. Holmes is really impressive.

the league will be a better place when beverly is no longer in it.

This is the German National Team at the World Cup in Qatar. Not only have the European teams been told not to wear an armbands that supports gay rights, they've pretty much been told by FIFA to shut up about it and this is their response. 70 years ago Germany was just about the least tolerant country in the Western world. Maybe one day the United States can find the way too, since we're the least tolerant now. I hope it doesn't take over 50 years. Italy & Ireland aren't in it, so I'll be rooting for these guys - because of this.

One of my favorite holiday stories and a big hit on Reddit. This article is from last year but it explains what happened. Teen Who Was Accidentally Invited to 'Grandma's' for Thanksgiving Celebrates 6th Holiday with Her

It's Garret Graff's Watergate, A New History He does a good job of tying a lot of things together. Not only the break-in and aftermath, but things like the "Chennault Affair", his paranoia over the Pentagon Papers, GEMSTONE, etc. Not to mention explaining some of Felt's motives as Deep Throat (It was as much an effort to undermine Patrick Grey as much as anything else) I find it interesting in light of what is currently happening. Especially if you look at it in the time of Trump...

I've been reading the latest book on the Watergate Scandal. Besides the break-in and cover up, the amount of money the Nixon campaign raised outside the law is just amazing. Especially for 1970-72..
