Lions and Turkeys and Bears. Oh My! Thanksgiving Game Day Thread 11/28/24

[CGVT]

Thanksgiving Day game is always special. Time to break the streak.

Lions will miss Davis and Decker, but are rocking the Blueberries today and will continue to roll.

34-17 in a game that will feel closer.

Let's Fucking Goooooooooooooooooo!

GREAT thread title! Just put on my winter hat that has pig-tails, my ruby slippers, and said it out loud 4 times.

45-23 LIONS

....., and on at 5:30pm here....... also here at that time -->> the mother-in-law......., laptop + headphones in the other room will be the order of the day.

Ha, I was thinking of the same thread title if I had to start the game day thread, but going with “Oh Pie!” Instead.

This is going to be a grind. No score predictions - just get a win and then try to heal up since they don’t get the extra days because they have to come back next Thursday.

Oh Pie! Perfect. Ha!

Yeah, I think it is going to be a slog today.

I like that CGVT has a portfolio of Taylor Swift gifs to deploy. It takes skill and talent to develop that type of depth.

Thanksgiving is a celebration of the city of Detroit, no city in the world does Thanksgiving like Detroit.

I'm looking forward to a TD return from Maurice Alexander to get revenge for the awful OT return from Dastardly David Williams in the 1980 Thanksgiving Day classic

Mike Tirico is the Grand Marshall of America's Thanksgiving Day parade.

Big games from David Long, Jack Campbell and Zadarius Smith.

Happy Thanksgiving forumites!

Watching GMFB live right now while working and with the Lions football I get always a bit of your Thanksgiving.

Go Lions! Break the losing streak! I want the 1st Seed!!!!

Have fun people!

[Sanders Fan]

Happy Thanksgiving!

I won’t do a prediction but I feel good about it.

Go Lions!

Recipe: Stuff bear with run game. Shake....and then bake. Wait for timer to pop (or 10 second run off), assume victory formation.

Lions are all jacked up on turkey gravy, Chicago. They'll beat your ass!

I was so pissed I couldn't even eat.

Lions offense was not very good last week. They are proud. Look for them to score often. I'm upping my Lions score. Lions 45-19. I'm not buying all this "trap" game BS. They have numerous incentives to win.

7 years since last win.
3 straight losses to the fricken Bears on Thanksgiving.
Campbell has never won on Thanksgiving as a coach.
Montgomery is playing his ex team.
Several players have stated how they hate going home after a loss on Thanksgiving as do their families. They want to celebrate a win with their families.

They ain't losing this game today.

With some key injuries on the OL, I kind of expecting Ben Johnson to lean on the run game a bit especially since Dan Skipper is going to be going up against Sweat so Sonic and Montgomery could had a big game today because these Bears can’t stop the run. Caleb has been absolutely terrible and he will open himself up for sacks so the opportunity will come. Aside from that I go have faith that the Lions will get it done but I can see this being a close one.

Lions 27-20

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thank you all for your presence here!

I am especially thankful today. My husband was in a serious car accident yesterday and has a few transverse process fractures in his back. He's in horrible pain, he won't be working anytime soon, and is now without a vehicle....but he's alive and he'll heal.

I'm also thankful for this team. It's been a fun season! Hope the next guy steps up today.

Oh no! Sending good vibes for a quick recovery. Hopefully a Lions win will ease his pain a bit.

Best wishes for speedy recovery to your husband. Deb.

Happy Thanksgiving

I will be watching this game from the airport bar as I am off to Florida for a week.

The Lions will find a way to win but the Bears wont lie down either.
