XNorthBuffaloLad Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Since the rules state that the LIONS & COWBOYS have to alternate it every OTHER year as to whether they play an NFC or AFC team on Thanksgiving it's going to be either the BILLS or DOLPHINS who play at Detroit on this day next year ... Buffalo & Miami are the LION's 2 AFC Home opponents next year ... Dallas has the AFC this year with the BRONCOS, and the LIONS have the NFC with the FALCONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to the game regardless, but I got a chance to go to the Thanksgiving game during the Kelly era, and while we lost it still was a great experience. Plus for once we might actually have a chance at winning a nationally televised game. With our luck they probably give it to Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought was oh the Lions got the throwbacks on, then oh sheet Flea Flicker. It was funny because I was only 12, yet the surrounding Lions fans talked crap like I was a 25 year old drinking bourbon. Must have been the incredibly pimp Bills starter jacket I owned at the time. Despite the loss Jimbo had a rare 10+ yard TD scramble, and Pete Metzalars hauled in a long TD pass. I would love to do it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one didnt get to really watch the afternoon games as mush as Id like. You have dinner or your traveling to relatives etc. To have a third game on at 8 would be awesome.

Was at a girlfriend's sister's house in Palm Springs for Thanksgiving so I could meet her family for the first time. I'm fairly certain the flea flicker happened on their first drive. I had something of a temper back then. We broke up not long after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I can't think of a less appealing matchup for the general public than Buffalo at Detroit. The Bills are a very below average road team and let's face it, they are not entertaining to watch. I believe Buf is last in the NFL in yds per game (offense). Detroit is just abysmal. Next year could be different but it probably won't be dramatic enough to make these two teams a "must watch" game. Miami is not much better but they have more of a National appeal for some reason?!?
