NFL Week 12 Games Thread: Day of Turkeys (no not the Browns)

[Spider2024]

Forget Cleveland for a second and their 16-part quest for perfection. Thursday features a feast of good teams worthy of even my house's Thanksgiving. (We're doing turkey AND ham!) Six winning teams will play three games that hopefully won't be sub-par like all the other Thursday games.

ARETHA for the anthem? Dayum.

Should be a good set of games

I love America just as much, if not more, than the next guy, but that was an excessively, outrageously long interpretation of the Star-Spangled Banner before the start of the Vikings-Lions game. I didn't clock it, but it had to have taken at least four minutes.

As much as people gush about the Star-Spangled Banner, the two things people don't like are fumbling the lyrics & embellishment.

That ain't a fumble!

I just hope this Vikings defense shows up next week against Dallas.

The subtitle for this week's episode of "Will the Browns win?" Will be "CLEVELAND BROWNS' ESCAPE FROM NEW JERSEY"

Never change, Minnesota..

Member when they was 4-0

I made jokes that the Vikings would implode with 5 minutes left. I was right.

Not even the berries do.

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

Oh Vikings, you never give Matt Prater a shot at a big kick.

[Giul T.]

LIONS Take control of he NFC North. playoff bound, baby!

[Unocal 76]

You know how the Chargers have been so snakebitten in the 4th quarter this season?

The Lions have been the exact opposite.

[andrew8798]

Somewhere Lebatard was screaming at his TV that Bradford is ruining football for him with all those checkdowns

[Unocal 76]

And to think, if half of these 4th quarters didn't go the Lions way, they could easily be 3-8.

[ToyfareMark]

It's an ugly win, but I'll take it.

If they didn't have Matt Stafford or Matt Prater, those 4th quarters do not going Lions way

[mizerable]

Why'd I pick the Redskins in an upset??
