Both Thanksgiving day games look bad again. I wonder why they don't make sure one of the matchups looks decent before the beginning of the season? It was pretty obvious both the Lions & Raiders would be marginal or bad, even back when the schedule was made.

This will be an interesting game. If Warner plays, it'll be tough for the Titans to win. Rod Hood really needs to start so he can match up with Anquan Boldin (he's younger and more athletic than Harper) and Finnegan will need to jam Fitz at the line. If Warner is hurt and Leinart plays, though, the Cardinals will almost certainly have to run the ball more. And I like the Titans' chances against the Wells/Hightower duo.

 

Offensively, same formula as the past four games. Vince doesn't turn the ball over and makes a few plays and Chris Johnson plays like Chris Johnson, we'll score some points.

 

With the Cards making the trip east, I like the Titans to pick up their fifth win Sunday. It won't be an easy one, though.

Broncos/Giants should be a really good game, though.

Absolute must win for the 49ers. At home got to win. If we beat the Jaguars and then sweep the division again (plus Lions win) we will be 9-7 and have a good shot at being division champ. Arizona has Tennessee, Minnesota than us. If we beat them in three weeks we will likely pull into a tie for division lead and will have tiebreaker locked up as we would be 4-0 in division and they would have 2 losses.

 

I would say our chances are slim, maybe 10-20%, but Arizona is hitting a tough part of their schedule and haven't played too well this season. They have managed to pull out victories but haven't clicked all season.

Fourth year in a row that I'll be at the Cowboys game on Thanksgiving. I'm loving this "family" tradition.

Learn your lesson from Tampa and take care of business on Thursday against a Stafford-less Lions team.

Here's a good way to waste 20 minutes: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Wafez/quarterbacks_2000s

 

I got 112 going through the current 2 or 3 deep of the NFL and then filling in the guys who aren't in the league but started a bunch of games. Then I spent the rest of the time on guys who were washed up by this decade but started, good college players who became fringe/emergency starters, and common last names.

 

The guy with the most starts that I missed was Joey Harrington. Missed Griese too.

I did that a month or so ago and got 120 something. Got all of the first row and all but two towards the bottom in the second row (don't remember exactly which ones). I just went through every team one by one and named the starters for them.

Obviously from earlier in the year, but I just came across it.

I saw that the Sunday it happened. They did an in game update for it I think (also updated score).

I still can't believe the Raiders beat the Eagles and the Bengals. I know both games were at home but still, the Raiders are pathetic.

I hope they are pathetic tomorrow.

The Lions haven't won a Thanksgiving Day game since 2003. They're due for another, right?

Happy Turkey Day, everyone.

 

 

I don't think Rodgers knows what to do with all this time he has in the pocket.

I actually have some new respect for Matt Stafford. NFL Films had him Mic'd up for the game against the Browns. Dude shows alot of heart and also displays some good leadership skills. Especially at the end when he gets hurt and stays in the game.

 

"Get the [expletive] off me!" awesome

Hahaha, awesome.

[OleMissCub]

will they just play football please. damnit. it's like a 40 minute halftime.

[Smack]

So instead of kicking a field goal to go up 9, McCarthy goes for it and they turn it over... no wonder a lot of Packer fans hate that guy...

[JonJayCutler]

Thank God I played Driver in Fantasy this week.

The lions slowly remembering they are the lions.
