Saints on Thanksgiving? (1 Viewer)

[Free Gumbo]

I noticed we play at Dallas this year. We could be playing on Turkey Day in 2010.

we've never played on TG before...

There are 20% chance that the Saints will play that day. Of Dallas 8 home games, Detroit and the 2AFC games are not possible.

That leaves the Saints, Bears and the 3 NFC East teams as the choice.

The way our last game went, I could easily see us playing them on TG!

I don't think we will. Thanksgiving is already a guaranteed huge ratings draw, why not save the DAL/NO game for another less popular prime time slot? I am thinking another Saturday Night or Sunday Night game late season.

Looking at the Cowboys past history, I think the Redskins will be the team that play Dallas. Detroit will host either New England or New York Jets that day. There will also be a 3rd night game that day.

I ain't gonna lie. On some Thanksgivings after shoving my face, I have watched the Thanksgiving games thinking, '' I wish the Saints were playing, this game sucks ***.)

Talk about a holiday season for sure...

On a marketing note... Can you imagine a battle for being America's team on a National Holiday... That might draw some real huge ratings...

I think it's time. Have the Saints ever played on that day in their existence? Then agian, Jerry don't want no tough, non-division competition on turkey day.

This will probably never happen, but how interesting would it be if the Saints played at the Superdome on TG in a night game against a team like Pittsburgh or Minnesota. A NFC Championship rematch would be a huge ratings draw, especially if we were both going in undefeated.
That could certainly sell nationally and it's something that will be generating huge interest anyway, especially if Brett Favre comes back next season.

Only the Saints and Bengals have never played on Thanksgiving as franchises older than 30 years.

The rest are the Ravens (played on TG as the Colts), Jaguars, Texans (played as the Oilers), and Panthers.

St. Louis played as the Cardinals, and the Rams while in L.A., but never as the St. Louis Rams.

I will take this as our Thursday game over any other Thursday games during the year.
