Week 12 NFL Games: Thanksgiving edition

[ViperGTS]

After Monday night, I have no idea what is and isn't a first down now.

Easy. If it's a team on the take for the NFL, anything within 1.5 yards of the 1st down marker is called a first down. If not, such as against Oakland, anything withing that range PAST the 1st down marker is definitely not a first down.

Make sense?

Unbelievable. These officials are horrendous

Quick ESPN, what is the Lions record on Thanksgiving when the Anthem is longer than 5 mins?

I just tuned in. From what people are saying about the length of the national anthem, I guess I didn't miss much.

Another game where the referees take center stage over the actual game of football... A big interception return called back due to a barely there PI, another PI called on a blatant tipped pass... I cannot wait to see what these referees have in store for us in the second half... I think I'll trade in my player jerseys/shirts for my favorite flag-happy referee...

Denver gets some whacky spots...

Am I the only one pining for the days of the replacement referees? At least they had a valid excuse at incompetence...

If this is kid rock coming up I gotta find the remote fast and mute this.

I'd kill for Kid Rock over whoever this guy is. I'd take schoolhouse rock over him!

Who in the Hades were those millennial doucheboys at halftime of the Lions-Vikes contest? I wanted to take a claw hammer to my eyes. And a power drill to my ears.

Happy Thanksgiving Patsfans! Game is boring. Wish Pats were playing!

Tavon, being a starter - like any normal second round pick - nothing to see here.

NFC teams are going to be desperate to play the NFC North winner.

I am mostly looking forward to the Washing at Dallas game. I really rooting for Washington to lay the smack down on Dallas. I am sick of hearing that Dallas is unbeatable.

Well they aren't unbeatable because they do have a loss.
