The great thing about Thanksgiving weekend is we get an extra dose of NFL football. You sit down as a family, watch the first half of the Detroit game (no need to watch the second half), then you eat and finish in time to fall asleep watching the Cowboys game. Plus, two days off from work.
As Holidays go, it doesn’t get much better than Thanksgiving.
TEN @ DET
Am I the only one who feels cheated by the fact that I’m not going to get to see the first ever 11-0 vs. 0-11 match-up? The Titans weren’t going to go undefeated, but the least they could have done was last through Thanksgiving.
Thanks to the Titans’ loss last week, there’s absolutely no reason to watch this game. Unless you’re a fan of early-in-his-career Mike Tyson fights. Because this game is going to closely resemble some of those.
SEA @ DAL
Do you think Wade Phillips realized he’d be working through every Thanksgiving dinner when he accepted the Cowboys’ head coaching job?
It’s amazing how bad of a job the NFL did putting together Thanksgiving day games this year. Dallas-Seattle has Georgia Tech-Cumberland potential.
ARI @ PHI
On the one side, you have the Arizona Cardinals and their potential MVP quarterback. On the other side, you have the Philadelphia Eagles and their recently benched (then un-benched) quarterback. Should make for good TV. Unfortunately, nobody will be able to see it because it’s on the NFL Network.
As much as I’ve bashed McNabb this season, the dude has pride. I think he’s got one more great performance in him. It may be his last one in Philadelphia, but my guy tells me McNabb carries his Eagles to victory this Thursday.
NO @ TB
New Orleans has a chance to really jumble up the NFL South standings. As inconsistent as they’ve been, they have a chance to pull within one game of first in their division this weekend.
Tampa Bay, meanwhile, has continued their run of boring dominance this season. They’ve somehow managed to score 77 more points than they’ve allowed, yet they don’t have a single offensive player on their team that intrigues anyone.
With all due respect to the “Defense wins championships” crowd, you still need some semblance of an offense. With or without Reggie Bush, the Buccaneers will be able to slow down the Saints. But they won’t be able to stop them altogether.
And they just don’t have enough offense to keep up…
MIA @ STL
What better way to bounce back from a tough loss to a division opponent than a trip to St. Louis to face the NFL’s version of the Washington Generals?
Channing Crowder is a talented, young player who presumably has a bright future in the NFL. But he needs to take a step back, and figure out which guys on his team he should be emulating. There are plenty of great guys on that Dolphin defense (Vonnie Holliday is a good example). Follow their examples.
Joey Porter is a piece of garbage. You emulate him, you become a similar piece of garbage.
