I'm interested in what you guys think.
Should the NFL stick with tradition and keep one of the Thanksgiving games in Detroit?
OR
Should they give it to a yearly competitive team?
I mean, come on... this is one of the most watched games of the year and every single year we get to see the ridciulous, embarrassing Detroit Lions!!!!
It's not even fun to watch...

I'm a hardcore Detroit Lions fan, and we don't get and haven't had any Monday or Thursday night games.(at least not as long as I can remember.) So I vote no.
That's right.....I'm a Lions fan

I used to not mind it when they had Barry Sanders to watch. Now... not so much 
edit: And yeah, you're right.. this game is terrible.

they shouldn't keep it. they're horrible every year. i think they should give it to another NFC North team like the Packers. they're the youngest team in the NFL and are full of talent. they'll put on good games for years to come.

I don't see how playing on Thanksgiving is any sort of reward. Who wants to work on Thanksgiving? That being said it sucks for us the fans. I can't remember the last time there was a game on Thanksgiving that meant anything. I don't really care for tradition so get rid of them.

This has been more than a rebuilding stage. They have been terrible for years now. But they should def. keep the Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit. It wouldn't be the same without it.

The rebuilding stage of the Lions has been going on ever since I can remember. Even when they had Barry Sanders I can't remember when they were thought of as a legitimate contender

i think the games should be spread out to different teams every year. the same teams every year kinda gets boring and monotonous.

its tradition. Do you eat turkey on thanksgiving? Yes. So what if you got a turkey that wasnt good, would you not eat turkey next thanksgiving? NO
Cowboys and Lions on Thanksgiving but they are adding that 3rd game so be thankful. If you dont want to watch the eat then go spend time with your family.
Thanksgiving be thankful that you can watch football and eat food.

If I kept eating the same turkey for 20+ years and it tasted like crap every year then I'd stop eating turkey. I don't, though.. because it tastes good. So does the stuffing. Wish I could say the same thing about how "tasty" it is to watch the Lions play
