No problem, just sharing what he told me with y’all. And yeah I had a feeling we were gonna be a Thanksgiving game again this year when I saw Detroit on the opponents list too. So nothing super ground breaking here by any means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We def have some of the highest rated Turkey day games in awhile so it makes sense. Thanksgiving Bills! Oh and we will get to show off as the Lions have nothing for us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrW Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Well, as I am in charge of the Thanksgiving feast, it will probably mean that the turkey will be served already on Wednesday. Last year we had to do the same as our son who is playing in the Longhorn Band had to be back in Austin on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tryptophan induced sedation for the noon game Well the good news either way is that the tryptophan thing is a myth. Its levels in turkey are too low to have that effect. It's the 14 pounds of protein and carbs you ingest that shut you down. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 1 hour ago, GolfandBills said: Well in his defense the schedule has probably been set for a while now If normal service is taking place it hasn't. Goodell normally signs the final version off 48 hours before the announcement. Now clearly some of the set piece games like season opener, thanksgiving day, christmas week will be settled a bit sooner but generally the finalisation of the schedule goes to the wire.

machine gun kelly Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 This was discussed by Sal this morning on the Howard and Jeremy show. I think 7 am segment for those that have Audacy. Were a draw now and Allen is a national star. The media knows Rodgers and Brady are getting closer and closer to being out, and Mahomes and Allen are the biggest draws. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the routine. I know some people love the excitement of prime time and I get that, but I like my routines. HOWEVER, somehow we became the home to Thanksgiving a couple decades ago. Family and friends, a real houseful! Usually a couple dozen or so. As much as I like my routines, I absolutely LOVE a house full of family and friends while I’m beginning with mimosas, moving on from there and celebrating a Bills victory! It makes for a VERY special holiday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will enjoy a Detriot beatdown, but would bank on Xmas primetime game I think this will happen too. On ESPN Radio yesterday they were quoting some NFL official who was explaining that there will be 3 games on Xmas this year. The NFL guy happened to be doing so on WGR. Seems like an interesting radio station to go on to talk the xmas games. Related to other comments.... I like Sunday at 1pm. Mix in a couple primetime/holiday games. If we end up with upwards of 5 or 6 primetime games it will be weird. I always go to the home opener. Really hoping that is a 1pm. However, I wouldn't be surprised if we were Sunday or Monday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
