Save the date.

Lions always took a back seat to the Cowboys.

Not so much this year.

    Decade before BS meant Barry Sanders, Detroit had Billy Sims.

    I LOVE Thanksgiving football. so many great memories with family watching the games. I loved watching Barry play during the 90s. Also loved when Madden would give away the 6 legged turkeys.

    I will be much more interested in the Lions game this season. Nice to finally see them with a great team

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Only time the Tudor electric football saw daylight was Thanksgiving. Damn thing was more imagination than action.

    I remember once in a while one of the figures would tilt forward and just vibrate in circles.

    Will be a great day of NFL football even as a Canadian I look forward to this every year.

    Taking for Detroit, Dallas and Green Bay. I prefer the NY Giants (first team I followed as a kid) but since it is Thanksgiving football will go with Dallas.

    Not 100% sure, but the Haiti version looks familiar. I remember making sure the uniform numbers matched the roster at the time.

    Dallas fans would be wise to eat before the game.

  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 30,844 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Apparently Tommy Devito is starting for the Giants, I think Dallas will finally get a win at home

    Detroit will crush Chicago

    Miami vs Green Bay should be the best game

  • DocBenjaminDocBenjamin Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Stick my neck out that the Lions are upset at home. Seems to be some unusual line movement.

    Nah. Cut the arms off so they couldn’t hook each other. Bend the prongs on the bottom and you’re good to go

    Ticket flippers must be taking a bath on the Cowboys this season.

    Ticket flipping can be a very high risk/reward scenario.

    The Giants are really bad. I think that this will be a happy Thanksgiving for the Cowboys fans.

    Seems I am headed to 2-0 Dallas is leading late in the 4th quarter. The game I am most looking forward to is the Green Bay game hope they pull off the win.
