It's really been amazing to see how far he's come. I do think AG needs to get some credit for that. At least I see AG as a guy who will call things that fit his personnel, instead of just running his scheme.

That's interesting. I've found it much easier to cancel autopays than the other way - especially with cable.

Did we ever find out if Patterson was a healthy scratch or if he was injured? Is there anybody more nervous for his job than a Lions' kicker?

Every team has lulls - We found out last year just how much every single game counts. The early ones as much as the late ones - This year it's just happening in reverse order.

It feels to me like Warde Manuel seems to love Juwan more than he loves Harbaugh. I don't have any confidence he'll let him go.

I fully admit I'm very fair weather when it comes to the basketball team. I loved the Fab Five, & I thought Howard would be a better recruiter. I wanted it to work bad & it isn't - so I've kinda lost interest.

IMO, I don't think so. I do wonder though if that's what you get with a passionate, aggressive coaching philosophy - Dumb mistakes.

Yep - Every GM, Holmes included, makes mistakes. Reaches when, in hindsight, he shouldn't have - but I think by & large, I will trust his overall body of work - because I can see all of the decisions are made from the same mindset. There's a plan in place.

Insane is a good word for it. Jeesh.

Garry Marshall maybe? Carl Reiner?

Man is that a sorry list.

I know I would not have. I like the young nucleus Holmes is building & I would not want to take away any arrows from his quiver.

Ahh....That makes sense, though I wonder if that won't be the rule rather than the exception more & more with NIL now.

I thought I heard we signed Maeda to a 2-year deal?

I know you said you were hoping he'd stay away. Is it his head, his attitude, or his ability as a QB? Do you think this coaching staff can address your concerns?

I just today started utilizing it & I don't feel like I need a Crying Game shower anymore. Quite refreshing.

I try to be a realist when it comes to the Lions - We've all been burnt so many times - but I cannot for the life of me figure out why some people do nothing but bitch about this team. The hyperbole is beyond ridiculous & the fact that when things are going well you hear CRICKETS .. 1 bad thing & they're the worst team in history. Why follow a team that makes you like this? & if you like the team, for crying out loud SHOW IT ONCE!

Agree - but it will be hard to do that unless they are healthy. Vaitai is out for the season - Glasgow can spot him, but if Jonah Jackson goes down, there's not much there to fill in.

Clothes sizes. I will admit to having fallen off the wagon a bit on my health journey this year, but why is it you cannot depend on the tag on a piece of clothing. Sometimes it's a Large, sometimes a 2X is almost tight. & don't get me started on jeans!

I remember being nervous as hell 2 years ago going into the game against Iowa, because of their defense. I am not nervous this time & I'm hoping the gods don't try to teach me some sort of cosmic lesson.

I still think the whole "World Famous" thing is a ruse by Gus Johnson. I don't think he would ever admit it, but I believe it's his way of getting a little dig in while staying true to his shtick.

I don't think enough has been made of the Lions OL in that Thanksgiving game. As good as we think they are, or should be, or could be - they provided little to no resistance. Goff was under constant pressure.

I would imagine he's had too many injuries to warrant the price. I think it would be fun to sign Dallin Leavitt & put him on the special teams against the Packers Thursday.

I'm thinking I'm going to save it for the weekend, when my son is over. Looking forward to it, though!
