stevestojan Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 My wife and I will be flying into Buffalo this week, as we do every year for thanksgiving. I texted my dad, who is 74, asking how he’s brought up the subject of a Bills game happening while my mom is preparing dinner for 20 people. We normally eat dinner around 4:00. He said “She knows. Dinner normally takes 11 minutes. We eat at halftime.” 2 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 We will likely eat before the game. Usually a mid day meal around 3. Need time to be able to break out the turkey sammiches around 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 My wife has to go to work at 5:00 so we’re eating around 2... no problems here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Very tricky. Not hosting this year for first time in a long time, so I am at the mercy of the in-laws (not football fans). The start time for eating is ambiguous “afternoon.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 We live 13 hours away from family, so Thanksgiving is always a just-us affair. We're eschewing turkey and doing super nachos instead in honor of gameday. I plan on consuming some beer with my just-of-age son and enjoying a Bills win. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Likely will be eating at 3 as long as the smoker doesn’t take longer. Day starts at 3am for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillies Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 TV volume will be on max and my old dad will still ask, "what happened?" about 10 times throughout the game. It's OK though, glad he's coming. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDD Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) We will eat at 3. Majority of family are football fans but not Bills fans. The core is Bills mafia though. It should get chippy. Edited November 24, 2019 by LDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochester rob Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Cooking the turkey on Wed so Thursday is all snacks and then turkey sandwiches. My sons team the Bears play at noon followed by the Bills. Should be a great day all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) We’ll do our normal service work in the AM, come home and start cooking, and eat before the game. Just a quick word on the greatness of Bills fans. My older daughter moved to Orlando a few weeks ago and was immediately embraced by fellow crazies at Kitty O’Shea’s. Today when she asked who would be there on Thursday she was inundated with invitations for Thanksgiving. Her first holiday away but she’ll be with her new Bills family!.

Punching Bag Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I am working on Thanksgiving but only partial day so will be able to see most of game. It is just three of us for Thanksgiving so my wife usually makes a duck but this year we got a 18 pound turkey free at BJs with purchase of three items so we probably will be eating turkey. She is already defrosting it now to marinate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaccof Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Heading to Raleigh for dinner at my sister's house. Neither she nor her husband are Bills fans. Thankfully they have a big house and lots of TV's and we will have eaten by then so my son and I can sneak off and watch the game. She was smart, she married for money the first time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 No football for me. Family coming in from out of town. Four generations in one room. No way I’m going to be able to get free. I am happy to spend my day with my daughter, SIL, and granddaughter. It’s the MIL and FIL I can do without.

Mr Info Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Flew up with my wife on Sat for the Broncos game. Left on a flight back to our place in VA after the game tonight with my parents who are both on their 80s. Thankfully, they are both doing ok but air travel is a little much so accompany them when flight travel is necessary. We are hosting Thanksgiving this year so they will be staying a week with us for the festivities. A bunch of our extended family is traveling from about 5 different states to our place for Thanksgiving. All are not Bills fans but since we are hosting this year, dinner will start at 2 so we can watch the game...dessert at halftime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fansince88 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Driving 14 miles away to my inlaws (just like the last 31 years) having a Thanksgiving lunch with Turkey with the works. Then driving home to set the DVR. Afterward headed over to my parents for second dinner and second dessert and coffee while catching the game. Only change this year is at some point we will have to vid chat with one of my kids that cannot be with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine my wife and daughter will decree that the TV shall be off, unless it’s needed to calm down an antsy four year old with a Disney movie or something. I may may be able to sneak some viewing on my phone or iPad while doing dishes, which is a win-win. I get to watch the game while avoiding my in-laws, and I don’t mind doing dishes. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
