    They will not move away from Dallas and Detroit hosting T-Giving Day Games. Tradition.....

    My aunt brings a shitty fruit cake to Thanksgiving each year too. Tradition.
    Hahaha. Point taken. Would most cities really find 60-80k people who bail on their families and their traditions to go to an NFL game? People are used to it in Dallas and Detroit, I say they should keep it.
    At least Detroit, things still suck up there, they need it.
    They should play the Thanksgiving games in London. All Americans deserve to stuff themselves and then pass out on the couch on Thanksgiving. It's actually kind of mean to force Lions fans to travel and spend hundreds of dollars to watch their team get the shit kicked out of them when they could be eating stuffing and gravy and mashed potatoes and turkey ...

    It nice to know the rule doesn't apply to the Seahawks.

    Detroit really got hosed on that call. The back judge said he thought it wasn't intentionally batted out of the end zone.....that's a load of shit. He clearly didn't know the rule. I feel like there are so many rules in the NFL that I have no idea about. Crazy.
    I don't see what the big deal is. The ball was going out of bounds anyway. And if the player had known about the rule he would have either just let it roll out of bounds on its own, or he could have grabbed it with both hands and taken a knee. Game over. I'd hate to have seen a great defensive play by Chancellor get wiped out because of some dumb penalty. Now, had a Lions player had a shot at recovering the ball in the end zone and the Seattle player batted the ball out of bounds that would be different and worthy of a penalty. But that wasn't the case. I say Seattle won the game fair and square on a heads up defensive play.

    Have you never seen a football take its next bounce in the exact opposite direction you expect?
    No way we can be certain the ball was going to go out of bounds on its own. Wright admitted he batted it out cause he didn't want to try and grab it in case he fumbled it. Lions got screwed for sure.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Totally solid point. You're right. And I didn't know Wright had said that. But I think the main issue here is the officials not knowing the rules.

    I wonder why Glennon isn't the starter in TB? He's good.

    it might have something to do with who they took first overall in the draft...

    I detect a slight hint of sarcasm in your post...

    The Eagles should trade Bradford for Glennon then they might get somewhere. Oh! Lol.

    Lions didn't get hosed...I feel like I've seen that play 1000x in my years of watching football and I've never heard anyone make a big hubbub over it. Couldn't they spend days reporting on Luck's shoulder instead!

    The Lions absolutely got hosed. If the refs knew the rule and made the right call, they would have had the ball 1st and goal on the 1 yard line. Not really sure what there is to debate about that.

    Do we know when Luck was actually injured? Was it 2 games ago or did it happen before then and they were able to hide it because he's looked like shit all year.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    And they interfere with baseball. Thursday night is my night out. I want to go to the bar and watch the playoffs, not Roger Goodell's Flying Circus.

    That guy just doesn't get it and if he continues on the same path he will find trouble once again.

    That's one of the best things I've seen in a while. This league has issues and those reporters are trash just like Hardy.
