	Are you ready for some Football - Week 13 - Thanksgiving Enter the AD-FREE zone

NFL Football and Thanksgiving... A tradition.

But what a miserable pair of games. I know it's tradition for the Lions and Dallas to play on Thanksgiving, but I couldn't pick two more boring games if I tried... Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... Washington / Dallas, once a great rivalry... but now, two lossing teams that only the locals care about. And for this Dallas has to stay in the Eastern Divison... madness...

And Detroit / New England... more snore. But I guess it could be worse... the Thanksgiving day tradition was started by the Bears playing the Cardinals (when the Cards still played in Chicago)... Those two teams played many games on Thanksgiving and started the whole NFL/Thanksgiving thing...

So as far as todays matchups go, I can only say...

gobble... gobble... gobble...

And for all those in the Apolyton Lombardi League... you have less than two hours to get ALL your picks in.
And Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Turkey is awesome, potatoes are awesome, stuffing OMFG is awesome... HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!!

I do feel shafted though. We get to watch the Lions, the Cowboys, and the Redskins??? What kind of crap is that? The only decent team is the Patriots... and they aren't an exciting team to watch either. The NFL really needs to schedule games better. It's bad enough they put the Bears on 3 Monday night games.

Yeah... a real exciting first game... snooze... Maybe the next game will be better... doubtful... we are talking Dallas and Washington

And so far, Washington and Dallas are living up to what was expected... yawn... bring on the Turkey...

I watched the entire Washington - Dallas game today. This HAS to be the most inept professional football game I have ever seen. Incapable players, lousy execution, idiotic coaching (fake reverse on third and one?????), etc etc. And, yes, I would say the same thing even if the 'Skins had won. Jeez do we suck.

Steven Davis is gone next year for sure, and you have to wonder whether Arrington and Bailey are going to stick around once their contracts are up.

Redskins really suck :zzzz: What a poor call, Dallas and Washington on one of the biggest days for football. I'd rather watch soccer

Me too, watching Washingtons punter walk of the field with his nose flattened to his face was pretty cool.


ACK!

As usual, I suck on Thanksgiving... 0 for 2. Ah well.

Seeing the retro unis in the Pats/Lions game was fun though

Guy: Well, I'm pretty sure Mornhinweg punched his ticket out of town with his bonehead decisions last week against Chicago, and Harrington is a guy they can build a good offense around (though yesterday's loss was his fault - take out NE's scores off Harrington's turnovers and Detroit has itself a 12-6 win). What I'm saying is... there's hope for the future, where none existed before.

And I'm immensely pleased this weekend since I'll actually be able to watch my Bucs exact their revenge against the Saints (SI is nuts for thinking that the Saints will "catch the Bucs sleeping"...). No one's gonna stop us now! I will be the only one to get a Lombardi bonus!

Hope for the future, where none existed before? Are you mad?!

Two years ago, before M&M took over, the Lions finished 9-7, just barely missing the playoffs as a result of a last second 53-yard field goal by the Bears in the last game of the season. Since then? 5-23.

Helluva future we're building here.

Yeah... the Lions have the makings of a good QB in the future... but the M&M package hasn't proved they can do anything else right. The team has been a disaster from the time they take over, and it really isn't getting any better.

Thank you for mentioning this, because I never understood why they got rid of Gary Moeller, ex Michigan head coach. Their offense was much more balanced, and they were much more physical on both sides of the ball. M and M, besides having all the football savvy of a lobotomized chimp, gutted the talent on this team.

And to think, Moringweg was a good offensive coordinator at San Fran .

Dallas isn't all that far from rebounding, but I won't convince many here of that.

KC needs to get some defensive help. I like KC, and San Diego.

Well at least Dallas is staying with the young QB, building his confidence.

They need to draft a RB to replace Smith, because Emmitt won't last forever.

They're overdue on looking. Hambrick has flashes when he's in, but I'm no believer. He'll keep it from falling apart though.

Gutted the talent? Aw, come on. Now really, who needs Johnnie Morton when you have Hakim and Schroeder?
