Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Bears starting Chase Daniel.
Lions without Kerryon Johnson and Marvin Jones.

As a Packer fan holding on to a sliver of hope, I will be cheering for the Lions. I mean, I'd cheer for the Lions over the Bears most weeks anyway, but more so today. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I'm at work. In Canada.

So far both quarterbacks are putting on an absolute clinic on failed completions.

Lions finally insert Zenner, get a decent run for once. Blount is a disaster.

Unless something changes drastically in the second half, this game is evidence that Trubisky is much more valuable to the Bears than Nagy is. I’m having flashbacks to so many bad Bears offenses.

Jim Bob Cooter is calling this game like he's terrified of turning the ball over.

Why did the Bears go for 2? With only a 2-point lead and Chase Daniel under center?

I wonder if Mark Davis offered Bill Cower $100M to coach the Raiders for a decade first, or if he went straight to the wrong Gruden with that

Why are the Lions uniforms so ugly? They look like they could be the Lions on Madden '97.

Also, watching the Sky Sports crew (in the UK) serve and eat turkey live on set is cringey.

Don't understand why Patricia decided to go for two there, unless he's decided he's going to copy Nagy and just go for two all the time.

Chase D is retroactively earning his paychecks today. He's taken some hits.

Obviously the Bears offense has not been as good as it has with Trubisky, but the defense has looked like crap and they’re not even fully into their 4th quarter collapse yet. 2 sacks and no turnovers isn’t going to get the job done.

Hated that cowardly short field goal.

Pretty funny that 228 yards is enough to Chase Daniel's career high. He's in his ninth year! Actually, looking at his Wikipedia it would appear he only needs 21 more yards to set a career season high too.

Can't be too mad at Stafford for that pick-six, Eddie Jackson just made a hell of a hustle play.

I wonder if the Lions would go for two again if they score a TD here. As a quasi-neutral who would rather see OT, I hope not, but it might be the right call.

We won't find out if there is going to be a 2 point play because Stafford got picked.

This win by the Bears is how the Jaguars would like to play games, but the problem is that Blake Bortles is much worse than Chase Daniels.

Why is it always the lions and cowboys hosting on thanksgiving? Is there an actual reason or did it just become a tradition?

Why does Dan Snyder always look like he's cringing from everyone, like he's afraid everybody is always about to attack him, even (especially?) Jerry Jones? I mean, I totally understand the urge to attack Snyder on sight and I would try to attack him too if given half a chance. But isn't he rich enough to pay robots or something to enforce a physical distance between himself and every other human at all times?

Wow AP looks old and slow

Redskins take a timeout before 2nd & 6, then come out and run a bubble screen for -2 yards.

Dunbar is having a bad game. Looks like he's not fully healthy yet.

If you had been wondering why the Packers traded Clinton-Dix to the Squirrels, this quarter should have answered that question.

Terrible safety play by Clinton-Dix on the 90-yard TD play. And all Fox can do is praise Amari Cooper. HaHa completely overran the guy that he's supposed to contain.

I think the gooducken sounds better

That really should be a holding call on that last interception. Dallas got a defensive holding flag called on the Skins on a play with exactly as much/little holding.

Obvious head to head ignored by refs.

No flags on Cowboys today.

I know making up an 11-point deficit is unlikely, but they aren't even trying...

Is Reed going into concussion protocol after that illegal hit or what?

NBC flashes graphic showing Brees's 26/1 TD:INT ratio, including fact that he's got most TD's ever for a QB with only 1 INT. The very next play is an interception.

I wonder if Sean Payton is trying to work that fumbled-snap handoff to Ingram into the playbook.

Tony Dungy is good in the booth. Calm and insightful. I suppose he lacks the flashy, shouty approach the networks are typically looking for.

Julio-copter coughs up the ball.

Falca reallt pathetic offense int hsi game.

Wasnt likelt to win this week anyway but having j. Howard, c. Ridley and T. Coleman in fsntasy startinf lineup? Brutal. This was gonna be Howard's last stand on my team. Juust doesnt fit what M. Nagy want sto do. I almost drioped Howard weeks ago but didnt and then whhen Trubisky was out , figured c bears migth go heavy with running. I sohuld go heavy with rumming

Also some jerkface blocked me on Twitter becuase I correctly andwered his trivia question

Strangest thinf i ever encountered on twitter. Made me decide to leave Twitter for rest of day.

Name six padsers who threw for more tjan 4000 yards in a seaspn frpm 1983-86. I logged on and saw Marino and Dickey already correctly andwred. I tjen added Phil Simms, Neil Lomax, and Bill Kenney. Had to think on final guy for few minutes but then named Jay Schroeder in '86 with Squirrels.

Guy wasnt giving me a like or comment that i had the answers but he was responding to everyone else. "Sorry bro, you were 0 for 5."
"Marino is right, the rest are wrong." On and on.

20 minutes later I am seeing mt Twitter people still tryinf to come up witj answers. I nicely let two of tjem know I revealed the answrrs if they wanted to look. If not, just keep guessing I guess.

Then i was respondinf ti the random people who continuued to guess. Meanwhiel the trivia starter is continuing to tell everyone they are wrong and I am being ignored.

There was nothing on yhe line. No money to ve won. Jusr write, "It is over. Raiderjoe got the last four."

Nope. Instead he blocked me. Freakin' turkey that guy is

Why is it Sunday night football on Thanksgiving night? Is the SNF brand so fundamental to NBC's coverage?

Not football related. But I really love the phone commercial with the Queen Flash Gordon song where the flash blinds everyone including Dracula.

Saints look great seemingly every week. It's crazy the one game they've lost is to the Bucs. It wasn't even that close of a game (Saints made the scoreline more respectable late).

It's time for The Sanchize.
