Thanksgiving games - Should they rotate?

Kind of suck this year

Green Bay @ Detroit
Oakland @ Dallas

I guess the late one not so bad

Ny Giants @ Denver

Thinking Detroit will win this year

Anyone else think they should rotate the games instead of Detroit/Dallas every year?

Why break tradition??? Dallas and Detroit are as much a part of my family's Thanksgiving as turkey, stuffing and my queer cousin creating awkward moments when he kisses his scrawny puerto rican boyfriend.

I had this exact same discussion with my wife a few years ago, pre 0-16 season by the Lions. I think it is ridiculous that the Lions are allowed to play on Thanksgiving every year. The Cowboys I can understand, but not the Lions. The Lions are so bad year in and year out, that they do not deserve to play on such a big stage. There are lots of other reasons, many of which involve money, that they shouldn't be playing on Thanksgiving.

Personally, I would love to see a Super Bowl re-match every Thanksgiving. There is at least some hope of actually having a competitive game.

I like it the way it is. However, they need to bring back the Bears.

These teams have been ruining T- days for years why stop now. To busy eating to care about the games. Combined wins between all of the above, enough said.

Not much of a traditionalist, however, when it comes to these games I for some damn strange reason actually look forward to these games involving Detroit and Dallas on Thanksgiving Day. So I guess my vote would be leave them as is and then you have the night game that gets rotated around.
