All owners say they want to win, but few really mean it. Chris Ilitch is certainly not interested in winning and I even doubt Sheila Hemp is. These are business people who are able to maximize profit by doing just enough to maintain fan interest. To them, spending the extra money to win is wasteful

Agreed! This was the main reason we were never really in the Bills game. This, along with the defense, needs to get better.

Could Campbell and Holmes be trying to showcase TeSlaa to use as trade bait for a deal for Joey Porter or some other high caliber defensive backfield player?

IMO the defense has shown some improvement but 3 big “ifs” remain: If Branch can return at something near his former level, and if they can get Joey Porter or someone of that caliber, and if the rest of the current defense can stay relatively injury-free, I think by playoff time they can compete.

I thought the defense showed some improvement. Sheppard stayed away from the blitz until he needed it in the 4th qtr & there weren’t as many receivers roaming free as in the Bills game. They still have a long way to come. Fewer penalties & good offensive work on 1st & 2nd down. It’s progress!

I say this is likely the case, and I feel bad for the young man and the team. Though Campbell and Holmes must publicly speak as positive as possible about his return, they better be planning for the alternative and get serious about moving on to find an adequate replacement.

rmtf.bsky.social @rmtf.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
When does Brad Holmes step up to the reality that it’s likely that Kerby Joseph never recovers from his injury and Brian Branch might never be the same? I feel like Holmes, and Campbell for that matter, are in a deep state of denial about those two players.

If not the Lions, I hope the Bills go all the way. No fan base deserves it more than Buffalo’s.

I like this take. Sheppard’s blitzing strategy seems to be an act of desperation. From everything I’ve seen so far this year, when they let their front four do their job and let the rest of the defense do theirs they are much better off.

Having watched the NFL for over 50 years, I felt the same way at that moment and still feel so. For those who blame our offensive and defensive coordinators for our current problems, let’s remember that Johnson and Glenn let a big halftime lead slip away when we were on the precipice of success.

Fans “demanding accountability” is like the hens demanding the fox leave them alone. The players work for the coach, the coach works for the GM, and the GM works for the owner. I’ll believe fans have any power when I see an empty stadium on Sunday.

This is absolutely a no-win situation for the Bills. No matter how they handled this, they’d be skewered.

rmtf.bsky.social @rmtf.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Ok, he’s not Aaron Glenn. And many of our troubles last year and this year are on defense. But he doesn’t have his two best d-backs and I suspect he never will, at least not in top form. Brad Holmes has failed in finding adequate replacements and until that occurs we can’t fairly judge Shephard.

rmtf.bsky.social @rmtf.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
I had the Bills 34-10 in this one, but was hoping my Lions would make it more competitive, and they did. So for me this loss was expected and I believe ultimately useful because it really confirmed that the team is solid except for the defensive backfield. They’ve got to find a way to fix it!

Roadside assistance providers negotiate very low payments to tow truck drivers. So drivers will only respond if they have no other private-pay customers who will pay them a fair amount for their work. NEVER pay for roadside assistance service. If it’s “free,” expect to wait hours when you need it.

Emerged? Umm, I think we’ve known this now going back to game two of last season! If this doesn’t get fixed and ends up being the main reason the team doesn’t get to a Super Bowl, Brad Holmes will be vilified by the fans and rightly so.

I sure hope the Lions aren’t putting too many eggs in the “we’ll be getting Branch and Joseph back” basket. I say plan for and act upon the expectation that neither of these guys will return, and if that proves to not be true, that’s icing on the cake of having a strong defensive backfield.

I’ve always been impressed with the Michigan Wolverines’ ability to improve week to week during the season. Going back to the Schembechler days it’s been a characteristic that each team has possessed with just a few exceptions. Yesterday was another example. Way to go guys - congrats on a great win!

As a Michigan football fan I’ll be among the first to say they lucked out last night and the Kyle Wittingham era is off to a very rocky start. Poor quarterback and offensive line play and too many penalties indicate that this program is moving in the wrong direction. 6-6 isn’t out of the question.

Major league hitters are striking out around 42,000 times per season as compared to 31,000 twenty years ago. That’s a 33% increase. There are less than a dozen 300 hitters in the game now. It used to be three times as many. It’s no wonder I’m bored if and when I do watch a game.

I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that the Gov’t shutdown is a trial balloon. Trump’s vision is for there to only be government employees to serve his interests and desires and provide nothing to citizens. Collect taxes, quash political opposition, enforce racist policy. That’s it.
