Football Do you think the venues for the Thanksgiving games should be rotated?

**luv** · 11-27-2009, 10:00 AM

Well, do ya?

**Bowser** · 11-27-2009, 10:01 AM

Yes. Unquestionably. People who aren't Cowboys and Lions fans have been ready for years for this to happen.

Whoever wins gets to host next year.

**wazu** · 11-27-2009, 10:06 AM

I do in principle, but I really don't want the Chiefs to host them. Kinda like spending Thanksgiving with family. Still, I think every year they need to target the top three can't-miss match-ups and put them on Thursday. They would probably miss on one of them every year, but it would that would be no worse than the sure-miss Detroit game plus whatever happens to be on the schedule for Dallas.

I think it would be a good day for a remach of the Super Bowl teams of last year. The winner of SB would host the game of course & the losers of SB would have a chance to redeam themselves, would make a great game imo.

Whens the last time the Lions won a thanksgiving day game?

It would be a shame to have meaningful games on Thanksgiving.

We've been tortured with Detroit for decades. At least it was palatable when B. Sanders played, now it's just terrible. Stupid on the NFLs part too. I'd guess a lot of people who don't watch regularly watch the games on Thanksgiving and they are subject to terrible football and usually lopsided games. Nothing like showing off your worst team every year to potential fans.

Yes!!!

Detroit - 22
Green Bay - 14

Game on sunday. Travel on wednesday. If you're not the hometown team, you're ****ed.
Those games drain 'em. Injuries. Played too close together. Stop Thursday games

& why do they get a game every year? Tradition

in this case tradition is holding us back from something better.

I like it how it is. Perfect nap time games after a big meal.

**cdcox** · 11-27-2009, 11:13 AM

I wish they would get better games, but I also understand that for thousands of families in Detroit and Dallas, this is their Thanksgiving. I'd be pretty pissed if someone came along and screwed up my family traditions.

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.
