****Official Thanksgiving NFL Games thread****

[Vladimir_Kyrilytch]

Three on the docket on this Thanksgiving day, 2024. In order of kick-off:

Bears +9.5 @ Lions (47.5)

Giants +3.5 @ Cowboys (37.5)

Dolphins +3.5 @ Packers (47.5)

Great day for a 3-team parlay. But which teams to pick? What's up with that Giants/Cowboy's total of 37.5 it has to go over that right? Intrigue abounds.

And he could have also called the time out.

It’s all coaching. They looked completely unprepared as an offense. Your players are a reflection of the coach.

That dumbass could have called a TO any time or called a quick pass to get back in FG range instead of a long developing deep pass play.

Relying on a rookie to make the calls there instead of a HC is embarrassing

You have to do it sooner than that. Either call time right after the sack, which leaves you time to run a play in the middle of the field and still have time to run your FG team out there. Or snap the ball with around 15-20 secs left and then call time after that. But to stand there and watch it get down even to 10 and not sense that things are amiss, that’s extreme coaching malpractice.

Brady needs to lay off the plastic surgery. Yikes.

Is Tom Brady and Erin Andrews making googly eyes at each other?

Caleb is supposed up be a “generational talent”… have to show better awareness in that situation.

Of course Eberflus is primarily to blame, but Caleb choked in that moment as well.

Any kid who plays Madden knows better in that situation.

I think it's pretty clear Caleb is struggling with adapting to the pros and is going to do a lot of real dumb shit and the coach has to be ready to bail him out is all I'm saying

Also it's all very lmao

That horn player should blow Taps before this game.

It was third and 26 and out of FG range?

With ten seconds left, I think your best hope at that point is snap the ball, pick up 15 yards and call TO with a second or two left.

If you call TO, you have to pick up 15 yards and get OOB? That is unlikely.

Lions got banged up and a bit exposed today I think!

It was so bad the thought crossed my mind that they lost on purpose. It was that stupid.

Not even… a long shot 58 yarder with a kicker who has no range is better than a Hail Mary. If it isn’t there, toss it away. Better yet, plow forward for a few yards then a quick timeout. Caleb just has to not be an idiot.

Time to watch Dallas lose!
