I think if you wanna make the argument that it needs changed, it’s for the casual viewer.
If the NFL wanted to really build upon their more serious fan base, you put guys like Mahomes, Murray, Watson, Wilson, etc. on Thanksgiving every year. |

This is partially why a 3rd game was added in 2006. Which the Chiefs played in.

if the NFL is really about parity and fairness, then they should do a round robin of games instead of ensuring Dallas and Detroit get home games on a short week. Just seems to be an unfair advantage for those two team to never have to travel.
Why not change things up and do a Sunday/Monday/Tuesday roundup? Thursday games are not good for the players and most of the time end up being non-competative. |

I voted yes but I really don't mind watching Detroit. It's about the only time the fans are reminded that Detroit has a team. It's the Cowboys game I really hate. Who the **** invited them to horn in on the Thanksgiving game? For some reason I only remember Detroit being the main team on Thanksgiving despite Dallas playing on turkey day since 1966. You can leave Detroit on but the other games should be rotated.

By reading the thread name I thought Bob Dole was referring to hide the sausage.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! |

Each year I'm thankful that I don't live in Detroit.

The Lions and Cowboys games are perfect for that after Thanksgiving dinner snooze, chating with family, or tossing the football around in the yard with the nephews.

Agreed. It's something that can just be on in the background. I guess I don't NEED Thanksgiving Day to be full of hugely important games. I do hate watching the shitty Cowboys and shitty Lions. I'm a big fan of tradition so this one was tough for me.

I was just thinking about this. This has to be the worst NFL tradition. The cowboys and lions games always stink. Doing things a certain way just because you've always done it that way is never a good rationale.

They do this because it works, not because it's the way they've always done it. The NFL isn't about to fix something that isn't broke. |

It's broke . The Lions have sucked ever since Barry Sanders left. Wait, they even sucked with Barry Sanders but he gave us a real reason to watch with some interest.
