Weird how no one talks about the 49ers final 10 games they played 3 teams with a winning record. Two of those being Seattle and Miami who faded in the second half.
Playing Chicago twice during the 8-2 run really affected the quality of the teams they played. Removing Chicago, they were 6-2 against teams with a 53% winning percentage. Since Buddha doesn't like cherrypicking, which he curiously did, the Lions had the 2nd toughest schedule in the NFL and finished with a winning record and a positive point differential.
It's funny how the Lions run defense had been pretty stout for about 10 games but everyone acts like they are more like the defense that played Carolina vs the one that was really good over an extended period of time.
If the Giants lost to Washington instead of tied, it would have set up a 4 way for for 2 spots between Detroit, Washington, New York, and Seattle. It's anyone's guess how those tiebreakers would have worked.
The Lions almost beat the Eagles. It's so frustrating because I think the Lions could have been competitive against any team in the NFC. They just turned it a little too late.
I really don't have anything to disagree with in his post. I would be interested in your thoughts on why 95% of people shot and killed by police are men despite being 50% of the population. If history is any indication, I doubt I'll hear any actually thoughts.
I guess I can surmise that the governor of Tennessee is the white slaver in your analogy. The police force in Memphis appears to be black dominated so the talk about a racial makeup of the community they serve never mattered.
A quick look at the Memphis police website, and their chief is black. 5 of the 8 members of leadership on the department are black. My math shows that's 62%. A Wikipedia check of Memphis shows it's 64% black. With all the black leadership in the police department and black officers, who are the white slavers running the department?
