I had an uncle who served under him, actually.

My uncle's take: Honestly, he hated his guts. Mind you, he thought Omar Bradley was fantastic, but considered Patton a glory hound who didn't give a flying crap about his men (other than as resources).

I kinda got that impression from Patton 360 where they are reading from his diaries and he says things like "I'm destined for greatness," (a paraphrase) etc...

My great-uncle served under Patton as well but he never really talked about the war....couldn't even watch war movies. Bad memories I guess.

      His on target percentage is way down. 79% last year down to 64% this year.

      Bills predictions

      I think we will surprise. We'll run all over them, and Dalton will be able to spread the ball around more effectively than Bryce. I just don't see a blowout like some are predicting. I heard the same thing about the Cowboys, but the Bills don't have anything close to Pickens. Not guaranteeing a win or anything, but it is possible. It will be closer than people think.

      If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.
