We'll have all the discussion threads for the Broncos game tonight, but until then, use this one-stop-shop for all the early game action, including the Raiders who take on the Cowboys in Dallas at 4:15 et.
Enjoy the food, but remember, triptophan makes you sleepy, so don't be napping when the Broncos kick-off at around 8:20PM et.

I would laugh if they beat the Cowboys though.

True but still...
There were a lot of turnovers in that game.

Anyone see Matthew's hand to the face of Stafford that just got called as roughing?
Merriman’s last week on Orton’s legs was about five times more vicious
Oh well, musn’t grumble

surprised Rodgers only took the one shot downfield
running for 2 or three yards is all well and good, but if you plan to convert 5 third downs every drive you’re going to struggle

I feel bad for Daunte Culpepper. Dude is a pretty good athlete, but Detroit doesn't want him.

TRYPTOPHAN
It is found in turkey at a level typical of poultry in general.16
Actually, you would get more in caribou and only slightly less in pork. I’ve heard the "turkey is high in tryptophan story before but the drowsiness may have more to do with the third piece of pumpkin pie you just ate along with numerous helpings of turkey. Gorging will make drowsy.
BTW — tryptophan is good for you.
no goats, no glory.
I don't think I've ever had three pieces of pumpkin pie in one day!

grandma's spread
My grandmother and great-grandmother used to prepare for days in advance. The meal included turkey (of course) along with goose, turkey-duck and everything else you can imagine. Needless to say, most of us ate more than usual on that day.
no goats, no glory.
announcer:
They are 1/1 on third downs, which already is better than what they did last week.
I sure hope 100% is better than whatever they did last week…at least as good…

Rodgers had ALL DAY to throw, so I guess the safety or cornerback just lost the receiver.
Cmon, it’s Detroit we’re talking about here. lol

There's the shot I was talking about

That's why he's my fantasy QB.

Stafford drops too far back when the play breaks down
that was an awful INT
Stafford's taking a pummeling right now.

NFL Channel showing the 97 and 98 Broncos...have a good feeling about today!
Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
All I want is 53 Rod Smiths. Is that asking too much????
"Peyton Hillis didn’t rip the sleeves off his jersey, they flew off out of fear."
Calijoefornia.
This is the first time I've seen Stafford live
he doesn’t look too hot today, his decision making has been dreadful and he seems to be a bit skippy in the pocket
I have GB for my DST in the MHR keeper league
So, I am pretty happy with the 2 sacks and 3 ints. The big lead should create some more opportunities for the GD Defense as Detroit starts getting desparate.
I also have Stafford backing up Brady, I picked him up during Brady’s bye week.
I agree, Larsen shouldn’t get any bigger. I am getting tired of his bone crushing hits knocking the pixels off my TV, once they fall to the floor they are very hard to find.
Are you kidding me Stafford???
Go for the end zone you peanut……need to show some leadership and run at that!

For 5 fantastic minutes.
Luckily, I live in New York so can see the game tonight in the comfort of my own home, after everyone has left.
Happy T Day

Hey all. Happy thanksgiving! Just woke up from my nap. Poor lions and why can't the oakland recievers (DHB, in particular) catch the ball????
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.
Help
Happy Thanksgiving Bronco Fans. I just found out I can’t get NFLN where I am. I am flipping out. Scheduled dinner around this game. Can someone help me out so I can watch it online. I’ve never done it before so talk slow. Thanks!
no problem. Just go to this website and scroll down to where it shows the broncos game. It should be ready about game time. If that doesn't work, I'm sure someone will find another link.
Don’t worry if that link doesn’t work, now, because it shouldn’t. Whoever does that stream will open it up closer to game time.

THANK YOU

No problem. If that one gets shut down, I've got others to give. Just hang around before game time and we'll hook you up.

Wow, McD is getting bashed pretty bad....
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-mcdanielstrashtalk&prov=ap&type=lgns
"Wait, let me explain something to you...I'm the Dude. So, that's what you call me. You know, that, or 'His Dudeness,' or 'Duder,' or 'El Duderino,' if you're not into the whole brevity thing."
That article lost me after it used this quote by Ryan Clark.
"Honestly, my thought on that is, I would like to petition Mr. (Roger) Goodell and say, if a coach can talk to me like that, I should be able to fight him. I don’t know where he’s from, but where I’m from, when somebody talks to you like that, they’ve got a problem with you. And we should be able to fight.
Really? Saying “we own you” means that you should be allowed, with permission give by the commish, to “fight him”. Why should fighting be allowed by Goodell, under any circumstance, and why is Ryan Clark even commenting on the situation? He is a steeler. He wasn’t involved in the SD/Denver game where this situation occurred.
I’m sorry, but that article just makes me cringe. McD hasn’t commented on it, so I don’t even know what kind of credibility it has or what context it was under. Maybe the charger players said something to McD to provoke him into that response. I’m sure it didn’t come out of left field and I am sure that people are making way too big of a deal out of this.
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.

Here's the other quote from Clark.
"If a player talks that way, you get to hit him. When a coach talks that way, you don’t really get to strike back. Who wants to have verbal jabs with a coach? That’s no fun. Let’s fight."
I don’t even know how to respond to that. He openly stated that he hits players who trash talk him and would like to hit a coach. Nobody is upset about that? Goodell needs to have a talk with Clark, IMO.
If Taylor Swift were to try and tackle me, I'd let her.

He needs to be traded to the raiders

Yea... you should be able to hit a coach when he talks smack to you...
that is so stupid it must have been suggested by a “Charger”.

Well
There is a long and storied history of players trash talking each other and Hitting/blocking/tackleing extra hard, etc……
Hey, it’s journalism…. Drama gets eyeballs U KNO
Opinions are like......, Well anyway, this is mine.
Agreed. I don't think I've ever heard of a player wanting to hit a coach, though.
I half expected it to come from a Raider, though.

Dont have NFL network
Howdy, our cable service here in Carolina doesnt offer NFL Network, does anyone know if there is a way to watch this game online?
We'll let you know in an hour. There are better streams than the atdhe site and I'll inform you before kickoff. We just had a discussion a few comments up from here.

NFL.com/Live
Is this worth checking out? Not sure if my connection will handle a live stream. Last time it tried it was very choppy

It would be better to try a real stream. NFL.com/live breaks into the game to give insight and analysis, so you miss some plays.
