Thank God for the NFL Network, no point even watching the other two loser games.

There are some definite stinkers in that group of games. Some look good on paper though. Thanksgiving is going to suck game wise.

if the tryptophan don't get ya, the football will.

definite snoozefest on turkeyday.

i WOULDNT overlook the Lions this season. I am not saying they will be a 10-6 team, but I think with the "new attitude" of the FO and the new identity they are about to get, they will be a lot better.

we will know by week 5

[rayzor]

they will be better than 0-16 but they will still be the detroit lions...a team forever cursed with mediocrity as it's ceiling.

truthfully we should be able to know after the draft how they are going to be.

if they spend the majority of the draft on the trenches and hold of on QB then they have a chance at rebuilding a decent team. if they go QB in the first then they will still be teh suck.

yea i think they could have a run game next year too..that rookie put 100 on us this year..with a good Oline he could be something i say with soft games to play 8-8

Buffalo and New England for the 1st MNF game of the year? :eek:

Yeah.....I'll tune in for that one

[panthers55]

All of this is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the AFC. Not because some of those teams are going to be good this year. Both Buffalo and Oakland for example are storied franchises in the AFC although neither will win 8 games this year.

Point is on a day when you have millions of people who otherwise never watch football watching it, why year after year continue to feature one of the worst organizations in the NFL?

Mediocrity is not a good tradition. :nonod:

I agree, the top three teams from the previous year should be on Thanksgiving.

Pittsburgh

Arizona

Baltimore or Philadelphia

Then you put division rivals games on.
