Bmwolf21 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 The Cards-Eagles game might be worthwhile at night, but tomorrow's early games look awful on paper. 'Boys-'Hawks and Titans-lions? Both could easily turn into blowouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blzrul Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I seem to remember the Bills lost to the Lions on Thanksgiving not all that long ago. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFITZ1 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I seem to remember the Bills lost to the Lions on Thanksgiving not all that long ago. Sad. Kelly was still QB'ing. The Bills contained Barry Sanders pretty well, but in doing so let themselves get picked apart. The first play by the Lions was a flea flicker with Sanders taking a hand off, took 2 steps and pitched back to teh QB who throw a long TD to a wide open receiver after which 11 Buffalo Bills jock straps laid over the field. I think we still made the playoffs that year so all was not lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Anchorage Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 I seem to remember the Bills lost to the Lions on Thanksgiving not all that long ago. Sad. I recall O.J. set the single game rushing record [274? close] at a Lions thanksgiving game. And they LOST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 270+, but like you said, they lost. Then again, Barry Sanders had several Thanksgiving Day and other great rushing games and he went to the playoffs only once. I think that was with Wayne Fontes as coach. He had one big year and the Lions org stuck with him longer than they should've. Chris Berman likened him to Rasputin for lasting so many years after he should've been canned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 OK Sarah And I thought this was a thread wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! A great holiday. One of the few times a year when most of the country shuts down for 4 straight days. Very relaxing. Enjoy it with or without football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 they should rotate the 3 games around the league. Agreed, one of the games should be a rematch of the previous years SB and the other two should be teams that made the playoffs the previous year too. I know the SB thing would mess up the schedule for those teams a little but the NFL should be able to work around it. It would also bring strength of schedule back for the best teams. Now if they can get NBC to dump that dog show. C'mon! It's Thanksgiving! Once the Macy's Parade it should be nothin' but football baby! Kelly was still QB'ing. The Bills contained Barry Sanders pretty well, but in doing so let themselves get picked apart.

I think we still made the playoffs that year so all was not lost. The Lions and Cowboys usually play above their normal abilities on Thanksgiving but for the Lions that's really not saying a lot.
