Buffalo Bills vs. Dallas Cowboys
Glass Half-Full
Nothing is better than Thanksgiving and Dallas Cowboys football. It doesn’t matter who they are playing, whether you personally like them or not, or if the teams got all their ducks in a row. It’s perfection. And this year’s matchup against the Bills is a must-see TV event! Dallas’ top offense against the third-overall team defense. What a battle. The Bills have been a surprise this season, with Josh Allen leading the team to a record of 8-3 (that’s playoff stuff!). And the Cowboys, though stumped by the Patriots last week, still have one of the most exciting teams in the NFL (they, too, have a real chance at making a mess for other teams come playoff time!).
Glass Half-Empty:
Oh, look, Jerry is cleaning his glasses. Oh, whoa, now his son is cleaning his glasses. Oh man, I missed Zeke jumping into the Salvation Army pot because I was watching Jerry clean his glass from a different camera angle on my phone.
The Cowboys’ Thanksgiving game has become a traditionally bland snooze-fest, a basic tv dinner that’s just served on a fancy plate. The powers that be were smart to bring in the Bills over a wash like the Redskins or Chargers (still can’t figure that one out), but there’s really nothing special about this game. (A Buffalo-to-Dallas flight seems a bit excessive, so we won’t have the possibility of Bills fans throwing an uncooked Turkey with a #BillsMafia tattoo onto the field to save our collective disinterest.)
Nope. It will be cutaways of the fans doing silly Pilgrim/Turkey-themed antics, with Jerry and company being the VO feature right before they flash-cut to Jason Garrett as he brings on the field goal unit for fourth-and-goal.
