Let's Play What Will the First NFL Thursday Night Game Be?

[LT Profits]

The schedule comes out tonight at 8:00 ET and we know New England gets to host the first Thursday night game.

My guess is it will be vs. Steelers.

Pats v colts/seahawks

They don't face each other. Well they face Colts, but that game is at Indy.

Pats vs Dolphins

[LT Profits]

Patriots home opponents: Buffalo, Miami, NY Jets, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburgh

Pats vs Dolphins

My thinking is IF they want to schedule a divisional game, it would be Buffalo now that Rex Ryan is coach.

Eagles at Patriots

Eagles are my second choice. I think the three favorites are Steelers, Eagles, Bills.

Rex's Bills are the only matchup the NFL should want for the opening game. Nobody wants to see the Pats play anyone else on that list on national TV.

Pats vs chiefs will be a rematch of the blowout game in KC im guessing.

PIT@NE is a no brainer. This should have been the AFC championship matchup if Bell was healthy last year.

Patriots steelers.

It's already been leaked.

Has it? I have heard Giants vs. Dallas as first Sunday night game and Chicago at Green Bay Thanksgiving Night, when Packers retire Favre's number.

I don't agree. Squealers secondary was absolutely pathetic (and it still is) and that's the main reason, why they lost. Bell couldn't have bailed them out.

Doesn't matter. Season is done.

Bailed them out? Without Bell there was no offense. They started Ben Tate on Saturday after signing him on Tuesday.

It goes back to them releasing LeGarrette Blount. There was no legit depth behind Bell and it came back to bite them.

How is there no offense, when they had Brown, Bryant and Miller?? That just doesn't make sense. And to be honest, that Ravens D-Line was good enough to stop Bell.
Let's face it; Flacco with Smith Sr. and others, owned PIT that night.

Pitt was good last year

Injuries hurt them in playoffs

Bigben played very well

None of those guys play RB. Ravens were begging PIT to run Tate and his 2 YPC. The offense was a shell without Bell.

RB isn't the offensive weapon, that does the most on offense. RB helps to move the chains and potentially scoring a TD, while being really close to the goal line. PIT can be still good on offense without Bell, but they will be terrible without AB.

Bell accounted for 33% of PIT's offensive output. Again, Blount could have filled those shoes reasonably, Tate no.

33%?? Number seems to be a little high, because it was their O-Line, who made things a little bit easier for Bell. Don't get me wrong, he's good, but the Ravens would still win with him in the game.

Bell had 2215 of PIT's 6577 yards (33.7%). Also, the Ravens lost @PIT 43-23 week 9 with Bell. Just sayin'.
