The Knee Jerks Podcast - The airing of grievances

Detroit sports podcasters Greg Eno, Big Al Beaton and Nick Milanovich are The Knee Jerks! 

Unfortunately, we had to reschedule our special guest, Bob Page. Bob will return to the show very, very soon. 

But there is more than enough going on in Detroit sports to give us a jam packed episode. This week's topics include:

The 12-2 Detroit Lions not only lost to the Bills in a 48-42 shootout, but are now in dire injury straits. 

The Lions lost 3 more starters to season-ending injuries against the Bills.

What's worse is there is no one to blame, nothing to pin the injuries on...other than plain old bad luck.

Even though he can't admit it, Dan Campbell is making coaching decisions based on having a defense unable to get a stop. Thus, we see onside kicks with 12 minutes to play while only down 10.

Despite the gloom and doom, the Lions still control their own destiny. They still own the #1 seed and own tie-breakers over the Vikings and Eagles.

The Detroit Tigers signed 37-year-old free agent SP Alex Cobb. 

Nothing has been done regarding the Tigers biggest roster need - a right-hand hitting middle of the order bat, preferably a corner infielder. 

The Tigers and a good portion of the fan base seem to be terrified of giving anyone a long-term deal. Did the Javy Baez contract break their brains?
