Bills might get Thanksgiving day game 2014

[Skooby]

So as everyone knows Detroit and Dallas host thanksgiving day games every year. They rotate between division and outer conference games so CBS can get one of the games.... This year Dallas is playing the AFC team when they take on Oakland (they played Washington last year) and Detroit is playing there division game when they take on the packers (Detroit played Houston last season)

Next year they will flip flop and Dallas will play a NFC team and Detroit will play one of there 2 home AFC east matchups

Which will be either Buffalo or Miami.....

Two reasons I think it's Buffalo is because 1. Miami already played on thanksgiving 2 years ago when they played Dallas and 2. Miami is playing in London already in 2014 so I doubt they would do this to them as well.

Ugggh I hope not- first, it'll mean fighting with my family to work dinner around the game.

Second, the last time Buffalo played in Detroit on T-day, the game started with Detriot scoring on an 80 yard flea flicker on the first play from scrimmage. The Bills always find ways to embarrass themselves on national TV.

It will be construed as our 1 Thursday game given to every team as well, it's either us or Miami that will get it.

If this happens, I will take the day of work, make a turkey, and eat it myself.

I will fall asleep in a pool of gravy and tears from another national game loss.

Miami is a national team that still gets strong ratings in big spots.

Don't forget about the vomit pool from the alcohol / cranberries upsetting your stomach, there's nothing like a dash of color.

Miami is going to London already. I'm not sure how many prime-time games Miami going to get with the way the organization is being ran right now, it's not exactly going to make for the best press on the NFL's behalf.

And the Bills are a better option? We may not have the public drama that they have, but the org is still run poorly and we aren't any better on the field.

Actually we're due...that Lion game was in 1994.

The league probably figures they need to throw us in there once every two decades to be used as a punching bag.

Going to London has nothing to do with playing on a Thursday. It is not a Primetime game going to England. Every team gets a Thursday game.

Miami might have controversy, but that stuff sells.

Unless it's negative for the NFL & the way things have been, nobody flashes a black-eye on purpose.

Face it: Ireland is done, Philbin should be, but might survive...hopefully. Martin is done there as is Incognito.

That being said, The new look Dolphins will probably fill the slot.

Bills will not get Thanksgiving, sorry. If the league needs someone to play in Jacksonville on a Thurday night in mid-October, or a homecoming game for the Pats in New England on a Monday night, that's where our Bills come into play.
