    Bills to play Detroit on Thanksgiving.

    The Bills will play the Lions on thanksgiving this year.

    Really cool! Lots of storylines with both original owners passing this year, Ralph's ties to Detroit, and Jim Schwartz's returning to beat his old team. Should be a good one!

      I only remember the Bills playing on Thanksgiving once.

      First play from scrimmage: they hand the ball to Barry Sanders, who flips it back to the QB, who proceeds to throw a bomb for an 80 yard touchdown on the flea-flicker.

      Plus, this means fighting with my family over trying to schedule dinner around the game.

      This sucks.

        It will be the 1:00 PM game. Eat some apps during the game & have dinner at 4:00 PM.

          That's great news.

          Makes the game much more meaningful.

            That means getting interrupted 50,000 times during the game to do things to help get dinner ready.

              That is what the pause button is for.

                Great news, and it makes all the sense in the world...but this still isn't official.

                  True, but Miami is the only other team the Bills are competing with.

                  With all the story lines between the Bills & Detroit as well as the fact Bills/Lions would draw more numbers than Fins/Lions, it would be really stupid to have the Fins play that game instead of the Bills.

                    Well I'm sure Roger Goodell is reading this and will pull this game as soon as he gets to the office Wednesday morning. He wouldn't want you to be inconvenienced.

                      But if Goodell does that, Op won't watch the Fins/Lions game, he will be too busy preparing & eating dinner.

                      There go the TV numbers.

                            12:30pm game. Awesome ! Early beers. .

                            Wifes family doesn't arrive until 5pm for Dinner. It only takes 5 minutes to reheat taco's...
