Turkey Day Game Thread

[tims4wins]

Originally looked like 3 good games today, but with Luck out the nightcap should be a snoozer. Nevertheless I think both of the afternoon games should be tight. I expect a relatively low scoring early game, and a shootout in the later game. Should be fun.

Setting the over/under on Scott Tolzien turnovers at 2.5. Whatcha got?

 

[jsinger121]

The over on turnovers by him.

 

[BigSoxFan]

That Luck injury really blows. Would have been a fun game to watch.

 

[Ale Xander]

Respect our patience Aretha please

 

[Bowhemian]

I like Aretha Franklin and her music. But WTF is this National Anthem?

 

[bankshot1]

Aretha--cut her some slack, a solid T-day start

 

[ypioca]

This might break a length record.

Lsu tamu will be the game to watch in that time slot

Considering how shitty 2016 has been in this regard, I'm just thankful she's still around

 

[Bowhemian]

Holy hellfire that was long.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Simms on excitement for the Lions: "The city's on fire."

No, Phil ... that's just Detroit

 

[GregHarris]

I liked it!

 

[johnmd20]

Very long.

 

[ypioca]

@strombone1: I was able to do all my Christmas shopping while Aretha sang the national anthem #happythanksgiving

Luongo's the best.

 

[ilol@u]

That was terrible.

 

[luckiestman]

That was terrible.

It was fine, just took a while

 

[Erik Hanson's Hook]

That anthem was a bit much

 

[luckiestman]

How many prop bets did Aretha kill?

 

[Bowhemian]

Of course as they sign back on, Nantz calls that anthem "memorable and historic". Yeah, OK Jim

 

[bankshot1]

I was hoping she would wear her Blues Brothers slippers

 

[luckiestman]

How come her handlers didn't know the Lions play inside. She was dressed for a blizzard

 

[bankshot1]

nice opening drive

 

[Ale Xander]

Brady-esque

 

[Bowhemian]

How was that a fumble?

 

[mwonow]

I'm not sure it was

 

[johnmd20]

They should fire that official on the spot.

 

[bankshot1]

how was that PI?

 

[mwonow]

Bail out again?

 

[ypioca]

Boy, is that a shitty call.

 

[Al Zarilla]

For crissakes, let'em play.

 

[Dollar]

Yeah, that did not look like PI at all. Vikings should probably kick the FG on second down to avoid another turnover.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

I've never seen two drives take the whole first quarter. Could happen.

Aretha always wears the fur coat these days. When she performed at the Kennedy Center Honors for Carole King, she brought her purse with her onstage

 

[mwonow]

Nice spot for the Vikes

 

[Al Zarilla]

Asiata, reminds me maybe break out the Asiago, Provolone and Fontina and some crackers soon.

To be fair, that Carole King is a known klepto.

 

[mauf]

Bad sequence there for the officials: the non-fumble that should've been called correctly on the field, the PI call that shouldn't have been (this game will be unwatchable if they call that consistently), and the bad spot that denied the Lions a chance to make a stand on 3rd down.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Commercial. Kickoff. Commercial. One play. Commercial.

That cat on the Tapestry cover? Its real owners mourn to this day

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

A touchback kickoff and a five yard pass in nearly 11 minutes of real clock time.

Sometimes I think the color commentator role will disappear soon, as every moment of the game without live action is quickly becoming commercials.

 

[johnmd20]

I watch a ton of Red Zone on my main TV,(with the network games on my side TV) and I go to work really early so I often don't stay up for the prime time games. So in 2016 I'm not accustomed to watching an actual game.

These commercials are figuratively insane.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Big loss. Good. Was already rooting for the lions but after those 2 horrible calls, really rooting for them

Who would read the t-mobile ads and promote the network's sitcoms?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Should've started a drinking game for chugging every time they mention Calvin Johnson

Drink!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Simms, Aikman, Fouts, etc are getting long in the tooth. Who'll be the next group of QBs in the booth?

Only if your goal was to die.

Warner is actually pretty good.

The Walmart Thanksgiving commercials are excellent.
