Panthers Game on Thanksgiving?

[Woodcookedbbq]

Would you like to see the Panthers play on Thanksgiving? Would it be an inconvenience? I personally wouldn't mind it. I know I'd be off work, and nothing would give me more pleasure than watching my team play while stuffing myself with good food. It would make the day twice as nice. Lions have been doing it for years. Discuss.

Two turkeys would be nice...

Unless it was a primetime game I would hate it. As much as I love my family, I would be forced into Thanksgiving duties that would prevent me from watching the Panthers play the way I can from home. When a bad play happens you can't just start yelling and cursing and then complain about it in the Huddle chat. But if it were around 8:00 then it would be alright.

No, I would like to enjoy my Thanksgiving and not be upset.

It could happen, if we were ever scheduled to play at Detroit or Dallas on that day. But I'd much rather stick to my routine of how I watch away games. Having 10-12 other people there would suck.

I agree. On the off, off, OFF chance that we lost against the Lions, it would ruin my Thanksgiving. And considering that I'd probably be holding an electric knife and a serving fork at the time, I would be a threat to myself, my property and those around me.

No, the Panthers don't need to play on Thanksgiving...

Only if it were an NFC South divisonal game. We usually play those close. Otherwise, I'd probably get so drunk from the holiday stacked on top of a loss that I wouldn't even remember Thanksgiving.

My Rams have been on Thanksgiving twice. It's nice. Yes, they won both times (at Detroit), but it's still something to look forward to other than the parades and everything else the rest of the family wants to watch. Imagine a game at Dallas when the Panthers are having a good season. The rest of the weekend you feel good about your team.

I would like it....I hunt every thanksgiving and could watch the game on my phone in the blind...

[Squirrel]

Is the question about seeing the 'Cats play on a GIVEN Thanksgiving, or be scheduled to play EVERY Thanksgiving? Seeing how the Cowboys and Lions always play that day, and their opponents always change, it stands to reason that some year we will play them. But unless the league changes things and adds a third game where the home site could vary, i.e., they always schedule different teams to play, or a third team 'volunteers' to host it, any Thanksgiving game the 'Cats play will be a road game.

What I worry about is that they'll schedule us to play in London or some other foreign location. That seems to be the trend the league is pursuing..

Actually NFL Network runs a primetime game on Thanksgiving as well, so technically we could fall into that slot for a home game, but either way I think Sunday is the best day for Panther football.

Even though we'd probably beat the Lions, we all know the game would likely be close enough that you wouldn't enjoy it ... we'd probably be behind for a while in the second half...
