    Why Schwartz's hiring could make your turkey taste that much better.

    In the 2014 season, the AFC East will square off against the NFC North.

    For the Buffalo Bills, this means home games against the Packers and Vikings, and road games that include traveling to Chicago to play the Bears, and traveling to Detroit to play the Lions.

    2013 saw the Lions host the Packers on Thanksgiving (NFC-NFC), while the Cowboys hosted the Raiders (AFC-NFC). Per league rules, the Detroit Lions will host an AFC team on Thanksgiving day 2014. For the Lions, this means either a game against the Bills, or a game against the Dolphins.

    If the league didn't already feel compelled to schedule (what will likely be) the final time the Bills travel to Detroit in Ralph Wilson's life time on Thanksgiving day, does the added intrigue of Jim Schwartz returning to Detroit--leading a top 10 Buffalo defense--to face his old Lions team guarantee a Turkey day booking for the Bills?

    The schedule releases in 3 months, so we'll just have to wait and see...

    With the Bills & Vikings playing in Toronto.

    Only logical with the Vikings being a dome team & all.

                  Hmmm... This would give them something to talk about.

                    The choice is between the Fins & the Bills.

                    IMO the Bills Lions is a much more compelling game at this point than the Fins Lions.

                      The Fins market is a much larger viewing audience than the Bills market.

                        Well I know there are Fins fans throughout Fla, BUT there are Bills fans throughout the COUNTRY including you & me & Tampa here in Fla that post on this board.

                          I think with league policy just about every team gets a Thursday game. Might as well be on Thanksgiving. That way, it'll be on a network other than the NFL Network and I can watch it!
                          I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                          I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                            I think we will end up with the Thanksgiving game. It's been a while and with the Schwartz hire it will give them a storyline to talk about leading up to the game.

                              You'd think that would lead to more sellouts in Miami but I still keep seeing those empty, ugly, orange seats.
