Falcons vs Lions Thanksgiving day Game ???

I sure hope we're not the Thanksgiving day game. I had planned to go to the Detroit game after being in Detroit for a wedding this weekend. We stayed at the Greektown Hotel and Casino which is right next to Ford Field so I started scheming on making my way back up there when I figured out we'd being playing at Detroit next season.

I don't think they can do it that way. It would create an unbalanced schedule against the NFC North. Maybe eagles and seahawks but not the packers.

Playing against the Bears and THEN short week Detroit will not be easy. Hopefully Bears @ home, but I don't see that as we don't play in Soldier field that often, I'm sure the league will give us back to back road games.

Holy crap that's a rough lineup. That's 11 games vs. winning teams, 7 of which are playoff teams. And if Vikes are a late season away game, that'll be really nasty too. Ouch. I certainly hope it changes & the home/away setup gets swayed drastically in our favor, otherwise we are a ridiculous landslide to have the toughest schedule in the league. It's tough as it is already with the NFC South being so good, but the rest of that schedule is insane too except for Carolina & Tenn. Even Detroit is significantly improved & the Jags are always tough.

I'll wait to see the final layout before I think about guessing our record.
