Haven't been back to NFL since some of the players were kneeling for the national anthem. Are they still hating the USA at the beginning of each game?

True so many times Rogers had to carry the team

Grew up in the Detroit area and I agree with you. Some traditions should die. I propose the teams that played in the Super Bowl the previous year meet again on Thanksgiving day. I will send a strongly worded letter to Roger Goddell ASAP !!

Suck?. You don't know what suck is until you've been a Deadskins fan after the Joe Gibbs era. So, now we get to watch a decent local team with a great QB..

Last season 9 first string defensive players opted out for covid (well one was "on temporary assignment" in Miami) but they are all back now and they added another pro bowl defensive back/ pass rusher. Then there are the new wide receivers, tight ends and to top it off a rookie quarterback that has the highest completion percentage for a rookie in history. I think they will do just fine. Have won five in a row and are tied for first. Sorry league --- They're BAAAACK :-)

What does it take for you fans to spend thousands of $$$$$$ every week/season for tickets to religiously support these teams even though you know their not going anywhere in the play offs?

Just Curious Packer fan.
I think they hand out free tickets to appear they still have a following. And they hit the concession stands while there.

In first place in the AFC east? Last year was a rebuild.

You’ll never understand…you’re a Packer fan. They are OUR TEAMS! We won’t abandon them. It’s called loyalty! What if YOUR team started spiraling down…..hmmmmm….

You need to read about the history of how this event started. The Detroit Lions started the tradition and kept it going. Not many other teams wanted to play on Thanksgiving…understandable. If it’s SO bad..don’t watch it. Simple.
