Thanksgiving Afternoon/Evening Games Open Thread

Happy Turkey Day everyone! Two rival games are slated for today, which should provide something entertaining to watch while you're stuffing your face. At 4:15, the Raiders travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. The 'Boys are missing both starting tackle Marc Colombo and safety Ken Hamlin due to ankle injuries, and could have their hands full against the rejuvenated Raiders, who are coming off a huge win over Cincinnati. Bruce Gradkowski will continue to start for Oakland and will hopefully keep the offense fresh and productive.
At 8:20, the Giants fly into Denver to take on the Broncos. Brian Dawkins will continue to provide valuable leadership to the defense and will hopefully help the Broncos to snap a four-game losing streak. The Giants will still be missing linebacker Antonio Pierce and running back Ahmad Bradshaw, but should give the Broncos more than a run for their money.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy that turducken. It should be an entertaining Thanksgiving.

Gah
I hate the Cowboys so very very much- especially because they are not as good as their record indicates.
Reid- Best Coach in Eagles History
McNabb- Best QB in Eagles History
This is the year
You are what your record is!

… Okay, they might be what their record is, and we might have lost to them earlier, but the Cowboys don’t scare me either. I’d much rather have to go through them in the playoffs, should we make it, than the Saints or Vikings.
Likewise, I don’t think anyone is really dying to see the Eagles in the postseason, home or away. You get the good Birds, and it’s trouble … you get the 55-pass birds and you might advance :)
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
murphy to the 1!

Yeah, this is pretty much a blow out
But, this Raiders team can be one of those teams in the next few years. Or hell, even maybe next year. There is some serious talent on this team.
We fucked around too much, thinking this team is nothing but a garbage team with nothing else to play for.
So yeah, Cowboys go to 8-3. I HATE saying that. Now on to the Giants game.

They have something to build around.
Michael Bush and Fargas are two very talented running backs. If Darren McFadden ever lives up to his potental, the Raiders have the best rushing attack in the NFL, period.
Of course, when your chose of QB is Russel and Gradkowski, you’re somewhat screwed… Plus they might want to upgrade their offensive line, find another DT, and grab an actually WR and not a track runner playing receiver.
(We have Vick as our #3 QB and Raiders have to pick between those two guys? Jesus, that’s just wrong.)
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
Gradkowski isn't half bad, actually.
Pretty surprising at how good and accurate some of his throws are.
The recievers on the other hand have to figure out how to catch. Several times the ball was literally in their hands, and they just dropped it.

Say what?
Besides the fact they have a completely dysfunctional front office and owner, there isn’t a lot of talent on this team even with the high draft picks they have generally had. Terrible draft choices and trades the past 6 years tend to do that.
Cr@ppy QBs, weak OL/DL, and a lack of talent at the skill positions even with all of the picks they have had.
Even if everything had broken the Raider way this year, they were an 7-8 team win max and that is because they play in a so-so AFC West.
Oak just isn’t kicking, but they have talent and a weird pigeon that kept flying around during the eagles oak game.

Oakland performance reminds me of the spaghettios jingle “Uh Oh Spaghettios”

If the cowboys had an easier schedule they would be 14-2 (the two is against the eagles.)

I miss Buckhalter
Smart player, still can play at a high level…. Man the Giants defense is as pathetic as it gets.
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
Amen to that. He’s quietly one of the more efficient players in the league.
He’d be a better complement to McCoy than Westbrook at this point.

What needs to happen now
Is Dallas needs to beat the Giants next week, and we have to beat Giants the week after, and then Dallas in wk 17.
Here’s to hoping this team can put it together. So much potential, it just needs to flow a bit more
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
I don't know...
I’d rather the Giants win. Its better for the Eagles, because then the Cowboys and Eagles will be tied.

HA!
And some people think he’s better than McNabb. Idiots.

Osi's gettin frustrated
exchanged words with Orton and Graham, trying to fire up the Giants sideline
16-0 Broncs.
Looking good...
Down to two teams competing for the division.
Man, the Giants don’t even look good enough to make the playoffs.

You are being knid
Right now that team is headed for 7-9 at best.
Dawkins is doing amazing
"The punt to DeSean Jackson. The punt. Short, Jackson takes it at the 32. Looks for running room, reverses the field. He's at the 40. 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, He's gonna go!
"McNabb in the shotgun again. McNabb takes the snap, fakes, he's back, he's looking, he is going deep for DeSean Jackson, who races, has it! TOUCHDOWN!!! DeSean Jackson!!

Dawkins
Hi. I’m a Broncos fan. I just watched that weapon X highlight video. Seeing him play for “us” and how he was for you, I can see why you’d miss him. I am glad he’s on our team now. I even have his jersey. Not rubbing it in…he’s a beast.
the giants are gettin owned.. where are all those giants fans that said eli didnt need glassico

Dawk...
Man, I love ya.
And guess what I find out? FOX in NY isn’t going to show the Eagles-Redskins game Sunday. It’s showing the Jets game, which usually show on CBS. But, instead of CBS showing the Jets game, their gonna show infomercials.
I seriously think FOX and CBS are doing this on purpose. Ugh.
by LegendKnight22 on Nov 26, 2009 11:51 PM EST reply actions
And love not showing a single Eagles game
This must be like a record or something: Most NFL games shown that doesn’t have the words Philadelphia and Eagles in it.
by LegendKnight22 on Nov 27, 2009 12:54 AM EST up reply actions
I'm thankful for Dawkins

Giants' bandwagon
Blew out a tire tonight and some Giants’ fans fell off. Careening out of control and a real good chance the Giants’ season will be over if they lose to the Boys and Eagles the next 2 weeks. At 6-7, it would be time to pay “taps” for the Giants season.
Giants' defense - Stinks right now
Yeah they still have Tuck and Osi but there tackles have been playing poorly, they have no playmakers at LB with Pierce out, and their safeties might arguably be the worst in the league. Even getting Ross back tonight which was supposed to give them a lift because their nickel/dime CBs stink didn’t mean much.
Did you just call Pierce a playmaker?
Wow that is one of the few unintentional moments of comedy I had since last night’s pitiful display by the Giants. Thanks a lot for the lift.
Good luck on the rest of the Eagles season, I am pretty sure what we all witnessed last night was the death of the 2009 Giants season.
We should all give thanks for Brian Dawkins
Bronco fan here… no disrespect intended. I just watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe5B8W8ZyR4
I mean to tell ya, I never full comprehended and realized what we got until I watched that. I am reengergized as a football fan aching to see the Crush back in Denver. Dawkins is a major piece to that puzzle.
Can we all agree that we have had the privelege to have witnessed this man’s actions and leadership on the field?
Good luck Eagles…. go get them Cowboys!
Dawk is an animal. And he’s playing in Denver like he has something to prove.
by ghostofandrewatters on Nov 27, 2009 10:43 AM EST reply actions
Makes you wonder
If Dawk had a clear opening at getting a sack on McNabb, how hard will it be…or will he do it at all?
Gonna be one interesting game.
