Happy Thanksgiving Madjack, and madjackers!!

Like the Lions straight-up, Cowboys game over and who knows what Falcons team will show-up, but I think it will be high scoring.

Best of luck!

Nice two minute drill.

:shrug:


40 seconds, and you throw 2 yard passes.


You should be in last place every year!

Matthew Stafford is a terrible QB. The lions were fools for giving that stiff the amount of money they did.

Agree. He doesn?t have the healthy weapons but not going downfield and struggling against this D. Taking Bears -2.5 2nd H. This could get ugly:shrug:

Please explain why the NFL subjects us to Detroit every Thanksgiving?

This is truly unwatchable, AGAIN.

Every year since 1934, the Detroit Lions have taken the field for a Thanksgiving game, no matter how bad their record has been. It all goes back to when the Lions were still a fairly young franchise. The team was founded in 1929 in Portsmouth, Ohio, as the Spartans. Portsmouth, while surely a lovely town, wasn't quite big enough to support a pro team in the young NFL. Detroit radio station owner George A. Richards bought the Spartans and moved the team to Detroit in 1934.

Although Richards's new squad was a solid team, they were playing second fiddle in Detroit to the Hank Greenberg-led Tigers, who had gone 101-53 to win the 1934 American League Pennant. In the early weeks of the 1934 season, the biggest crowd the Lions could draw for a game was a relatively paltry 15,000. Desperate for a marketing trick to get Detroit excited about its fledgling football franchise, Richards hit on the idea of playing a game on Thanksgiving. Since Richards's WJR was one of the bigger radio stations in the country, he had considerable clout with his network and convinced NBC to broadcast a Thanksgiving game on 94 stations nationwide.


The move worked brilliantly. The undefeated Chicago Bears rolled into town as defending NFL champions, and since the Lions had only one loss, the winner of the first Thanksgiving game would take the NFL's Western Division. The Lions not only sold out their 26,000-seat stadium, they also had to turn fans away at the gate. Even though the juggernaut Bears won that game, the tradition took hold, and the Lions have been playing on Thanksgiving ever since.


This year, the Lions will host the Chicago Bears.
