Definitively not a reason to keep the status quo, but a consideration I'm sure the NFL is thinking about. I wonder how well the two early games would travel, seeing how families would end up having to devote the whole day to it. At least for the evening games, you could do the normal get together in the afternoon.

Well, the families that go to the early game could have Thanksgiving dinner after the game. I think it's the late afternoon game that would screw people. Let Dallas keep that one.

No, I like the long established tradition. It is so easy to take a nap during a Lions game.

Nope, they should stay the way they are.

I like the symbolism of honoring all of the cowboys and lions who helped settle this country back in the 1500s and 1600s.

Nope we should keep them how they are. We have a better chance at playing on Thanksgiving that way. How the CBS/FOX thing works and how the NFL rotates divisions, the Chiefs have a better shot at playing in the current system. The only change I think they should make is have it all-AFC matchup for the night game, but I understand why they don't.

I love watching the Lions get creamed every year-it makes me feel better about being a Chiefs fan.

No. There are 6 teams that play on Thanksgiving now. Only two of the 6 are the same, which means there are 30 other teams to pick from for the 4 teams. 30 divided by 4 equals 7.5, so about every 7 to 8 years, a team should be on Thanksgiving day. If they go to a rotating schedule. We would still see Dallas every Thanksgiving... along with Giants, Eagles, Patriots, Colts, Favres, etc.

I don't really know. The two teams that traditionally do the games should have first call on that, but again there are more teams out there that could probably put on a better show than what we saw yesterday.

It was nice to see the Raiders lose though. Seems like they have finally figured out that J. Russel is a bust. Where is his next stop?

Frazod · 11-27-2009, 01:01 PM

YES. CHANGE IN NOW.

God I'm sick of Dallas and Detroit every ****ing year. ENOUGH ALREADY.

What break are they getting? Seeing their eternally shitty team get slaughtered by [insert name here] every single year? Better to suffer in obscurity, like we do. Personally, I think the Super Bowl representatives from the previous year should be slated to play the Thanksgiving games.

Those games drain 'em. Injuries. Played too close together. Stop Thursday games

They're also multi-millionaire professional athletes in better shape than anyone I've ever met. The Chiefs flew to Miami and played a game on the same day a few years ago, and they even won. They'll be fine.

I love the idea of the winner hosting next year's Thanksgiving game.
