Gothamite Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 And really should be. I don't care about a variety of teams on Thanksgiving. The Lions and Cowboys started this long ago, they get to see it through. And giving them divisional rivalries to play in those high-profile games only makes sense.

However, why can't the lions play the chiefs on a year when the Afc West plays the Nfc North instead of continuously seeing NFC East and North foes play. Even when the packers don't play the lions they ended up in the night slot against the Bears. For two straight years watching 6 NFC teams was way too much as a fan of an AFC team. It's a case of the league trying to make these games competitive so people don't turn them off. If they think Detroit or Dallas is going to get blown out by a team, that game won't be on Thanksgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s certainly shocking but it will be interesting to see Matt Ryan and his legs in all red.” When a front office member mentions how silly your quarterback's legs look in the uniform, it is not going to be a good uniform. Selective reading. The article also said this: "When speaking with the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Falcons CEO Rich McKay talked about the team potentially wearing all-red jerseys and pants. McKay said that the team will only wear the combination if they play a home game on a Thursday night." The Falcons Thursday night game against the Bucaneers is in Tampa Bay so they won't be wearing the red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably just depends on whether the Bucs wants to go all red again or if they want to go all-pewter. If they go pewter, doesn't that basically force the Falcons into all red? They won't do pewter vs. black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides red The falcons have Black, White, Silver, and Gold in their color pallet. McKay said we're not doing all black (Vick era), there's currently an all white in the rotation, and gold and pewter are to close. That leaves us with silver which beyond the outline on the current logo, we wore silver pants back in the 90's when we went to our only super bowl.

Gold is too close to pewter (which is debatable), but silver isn't? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

But, as a fan of the team, I'm glad they are staying away (if true). Actually, that sounds so quintessentially Dan Snyder that I actually believe it. He's probably doing this to stick it to the NFL and cause them more of a headache, no matter if it's basically cutting off his own nose to spite his face.

You may be on to something considering that he is still pretty pissed about that bogus salary cap ruling from 4 years ago. But on the flipside, the NFL has really defended him on the name issue.
