Its time once again for my annual complaint about Detroit and Dallas somehow owning the rights to Thanksgiving Day, and my other annual complaint about T-giving day games always being indoors. I'm almost tempted to watch the "Friends" marathon on Nickelodeon instead, and that show bloughs.

Gimme Chicago, Buffalo, New Orleans

That was crazy ... even as a 7 year old I knew it was dumb lol

Two flags on the opening kickoff. I hope they throw lots of flags today, because that's what we all look forward to when we watch football - seeing the refs have endless conferences and then announce the penalties. Good times, good times.

One thing is for sure, the Lions can’t be thankful for their uni’s today.

Yeah, why not wear the classic blue

Hey Chicago, they call them safeties for a reason, they’re supposed to keep you safe from that terrible play your D just called.

I kinda like them! Maybe a blue and white stripe on the pants or all blue pants. I'm a minimalist.

And we have a shootout ... who’d a thunk

What an onside kick

Good grief that hit was as bad as I've seen all year.

I hate refs that can’t make a decision and make a nothing call.

Blough looking pretty good. I know a lot of us wanted to keep him over stanton

Blough has looked way better than Stanton would IMO

Lions uni's look like pajamas. They should have footy-style spikes.

17-7 Detroit

Good to know ...

That’s an NFL score - Not For Long

It changed already.

Its 17-10 now, and still good to know.

I'm soooo glad we didn't draft Trubisky he is an average QB at best ... JMHO

I just put this game on. Those are some ugly ass uniforms.

And Buster Skrine still can’t tackle.

I am going to be a Cowboys fan just for today. The Bills have a rough schedule and could lose four of their remaining games. Lets start with this one.

It looks like Jason Garrett is trending towards being the future former head coach of the Cowboys. I'm actually a little surprised he has lasted this long.

What is more lame than NFL half-time stage shows, you might ask?

Nothing would be the answer, IMO.

Cowboys are teetering down to a blown season ... suddenly their Pass O sucks and the new coach will be upcoming

There is a lot to criticize about Josh Allen's game but pocket presence is not one of them. Probably has the best pocket presence and poise...no panic...of all the QBs drafted last year.

It looks to me like Buffalo has found their next Jim Kelly.

That would require a Good Oline

Buffalo on the verge of a huge win here

So .. is the Jason Garrett death watch over .... since he's gone for sure now?

Garrett has to be done right?

What did he do?

If he loses he’s 6 - 6. He will still be in the lead for his division.

Did he run over Jerry’s dog?

Well, I think given their roster and the poor division/schedule .. they are severely underachieving

And the way Jerry went off last week ...... Garrett better not sleep too soundly .......

Plus his reaction a few mins ago

Ah, garbage time, when fantasy matchups are lost. (My opponent this week has Amari Cooper.)

Dak! Throw it to Cobb!

Josh Allen looks ok, because he is in a great situation. Good coaching staff, very solid Defense, good oline, and good run game. They don't ask him to do much just don't turn the ball over. Not a long term believer at all. This year Buffalo's kicker will get them eliminated from the playoffs.

I miss my Stadium. Go Atlanta!

Tough game for me to choose tonight ... have a feeling Ridley will tear it up without Julio

This IS a big rivalry.

The sax rendition of the National Anthem just played in the Atlanta stadium was awesome!

It was!

That was nice. Busy at times but he ended it well. Anthems are better without vocal histrionics. Keep it simple.
New Orleans jazz.

I wanted to keep Blough and release Stanton in preseason. I thought he had clear potential to be the long term backup for Baker.

Can we trade MKC to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette for two interns and some left-over carbon copy paper?

While watching the Falcon Saints game the Falcons are a underachieving team.

They have a bunch of good players. Freeman, Ridley, Matt Ryan, Julio.

The thing that stuck out was Ryan in this game. This guy has put up terrific numbers for years.

In this game he just continued to hold the ball. He lacks mobility big time.

Bad formula. Lack of mobility, and holding the ball leads to a lot of sacks.

Which was exactly what happened.

I doubt that Dan Quinn lasts.

Yes, Matty need to be put on ice.

Talking crazy things.

I have never seen on-sides kicks work three times in a row.

Falcons go on-side kick, it works to perfection. Penalty. They re-do the kick. It works again.

Then they score a field goal and try another on-side kick and it worked again.

Sean Payton was beside himself. Looked liked he wanted the head of the special team coach. He was livid.

3 times the kick worked. Never seen that before.

Didnt the Browns do that once?

Not that I remember

Doug Marrone is a dead man walking.

sounds a lot like his stint with the rams. looks like that philly magic stays in philly.

Ravens are looking like SB champs.

Miami leads Philly 34-28.

1 more bad throw

That’s gonna be on par with Tampa dropping 55 on the rams.

Hold'em here and get the ball with about 1:10 and no TO's

I guess nobody wants the first pick haha

Chargers just got ripped on a PI call that put Denver in FG range to win it.

And I think Burrow is going to be a baller.

yeah I agree

After today I might even consider trading Bake for him.

Baker just doesn't make enough plays to win games. The throw to Higgins that he missed after navigating the pocket very nicely in the first half and the missed TD pass to Harris after another high throw are winning plays. Both of those plays could have been the difference in the game and would have likely led to us winning and still being alive for the playoffs.

But Baker just doesn't win unless it's against the dregs of the league.

j/c...

Texans just found a way to get Duke Johnson more involved. TD.

Based on your comments for the last few days, I'd say you'd trade the whole team for a couple dust bunnies and maybe a donut.

They're losers. And they've given us another meaningless December because your "franchise QB" couldn't out play a third string QB.

Baker was awful today. Pretty much the way he is every time he plays someone good. There were plays there, but he couldn't make them.

He's a loser. The whole team is.

Buffalo is over there ----------->

I wouldn't agree with that until we see this talent play under a set of competent coaches.

I like Wilks, for the most part. But the rest of them need to go.

Fells Should've never let him get away.

Man, how many poor decisions has Dorsey made?

The list is mounting.

Really?

Am I the only one unhappy about another meaningless December?

Another in a long line of anothers.

Deshauuuuuunnn WATSON

Deshaun is a winner and a likeable guy.

Hard not to root for the guy.

This helped...

I’ve thought numerous times this year how things may be different if we kept Fells, Orson Charles, Zeitler, drafted an OT, kept Ogbah, Peppers, etc

And not hired Freddie.

j/c...

4th and inches and BB doesn't QB sneak Tom Terrific like he has 1000x before? Brady is getting old.

So with Houston up 21-3, if they finish off the patriots, that puts the ravens as the best team in the nfl, beating San Fran and New England with a 10-2 record.

Smh.

I just had this disagreement with a Pats fan today.

Watson vs the patriots: 18/25, 234 yards, 9.4 avg, 3 TDs, 1 receiving TD

Jackson vs the patriots: 17/23, 163 yards, 7.1 avg, 1 TD, 61 rushing yards, 2 TDs

Patriots 0-2 against them this season.

j/c...

If true....



And kudos to the coaches for letting them call it at just the right time.

That play was sick.

It is still a game that is played by kids drawing up plays in the dirt.

The Pats offense is very handicapped .. they have zero threat on the outside ... heavily rely on Edelman/White to win at the LOS.

I’ll be shocked if they can win the whole thing this year

Another Superbowl I won’t watch.

It would be depressing, but I'd rather see the Ravens than the Patriots in the SB, and then hope they lose.

SB with the Patriots is just old news, and the pats fans come out in droves and are arrogant as all get-out.

Can't wait til BB and Brady retire and they return to earth.

I'll pull for the Chiefs, thank you.

They have the look of a team that went thru the trials of the season and will peak at the right time.

Chiefs-Patriots this Sunday. If the Patriots lose they will have lost to all the AFC division leaders.

j/c...

It's shouting Tess and cooky comments from Booger time!

I'm adopting the Seahawks as my team the rest of the year.

Football is so annoying to me right now that I cant even watch it.

I am watching Guardians Of The Galaxy for the 47371584839 time.

And working.

j/c...

Booger McFarland: "These are the type of plays that historically have gone against the Vikings -- the Minneapolis Miracle -- plays that are fluke plays that went against this team. I'm sure Vikings fans are saying it's about time we get one of these plays to go our way."

Lakisha Jackson Wesseling????

What a name.

Seattle is a winning franchise for sure ... Wilson obviously has a lot to do with it.

They’re a fun team to watch

Pete Carroll. Wilson is a very good QB,but Pete is an excellent coach.

We should go the same rout and hire either Dabo or Urban.
