Buffalo is 0-2 all time on Thanksgiving vs. Detroit. 

 

In 1976, OJ Simpson set the single-game record for a Thanksgiving game for most rushing yards, with 273 yards on 29 rushes, with two TD's. At the time, it was also the most ever rushing yards in a game. He also did it against Detroit's number-one ranked defense. Unfortunately, the Bills lost 27-14.

 

What a "Billsy" thing to do. Your running back rushes for 273 yards, and you lose???????? How is this even possible? Buffalo QB Gary Mangini was 4 for 21 for 29 yards, 0 TD's, and one interception. His Detroit counterpart, Greg Landry, was 8 for 20 for 143 yards, two TD's, and one interception.

At least the Detroit fans cheered ecstatically for OJ's feat (easier to do when your team is winning). This is a short clip of OJ's highlights from the game, from 6:32 to the end:

So do we think Edmunds is good now? Or does he still suck? 🤣🙄🫠

He's a slightly above average NFL starting MLB.  I expect a drop off in play at any position when a starter goes down when you've built your roster adequately.  The question for Beane will come down to compensation and the belief in your plan to replace him if you can't re-sign him.

I think he’s better than slightly above average, but it really comes down to the dollars we can’t afford to sign everybody

You can say it's silly, but how do you respond to the facts? Do you think it's just a coincidence that their record in these uniforms is way worse?

 

100 freaking percent, yes.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all across the pond.

 

Hoping you all have a great day, with full bellies and a big fat W for dessert.
