Hunter_R Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I realize my team sucks and I don't care. Not sure what's going to work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSanz Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My recommendation is the eat Thanksgiving dinner before the game so that you can enjoy it. That way, after the Skins get their butts whipped you can just fall asleep next to the fire and not have to choke down bitter turkey after watching the team crap the bed.

NoCalMike Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 When the schedule first was released, I skipped down to Thanksgiving right away to see if the 'Skins & Cowboys played each other. I was pretty excited for RGIII to get his first crack at this rivalry on the national stage. While the Cowboys are proving to be an underachieving mediocre team in 2012 as well, they are simply not Redskins-bad. The way our defense is playing right now, I could see this team being blown off the field by halftime. Now, because it is not only a rivalry game, but THE rivalry game, there is always that off-shoot, weird chance that the game is close, or we actually pull off an upset, however at this point I am not even thinking in that hopeful kind of way. The question is, for the sake of my own sanity, and the future of me being invited to family Thanksgivings...how do I temper my heated emotions going into this game? What can I do? How do I prepare myself for the potential embarrassing *****-kicking coming our way? This goes double, triple even, for those of us who suffer through the game by ourselves, watching the game in front of a room full of folks who can careless about football and have no idea or understanding why we seem to care at all.... I almost feel that I either can't watch the game at all and just DVR it while following the score on my phone just in case, or plan on bringing a lot of tupper-ware containers with me to make some to-go plates due to having absolutely zero appetite for the rest of the night. Oh man.....Thanksgiving 2012 will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 This team is like the Bengals in the 90's or the Lions of the 00's. Just go in expecting an ass kicking and feel good if we even keep it close. RG3 is like Bradford on the Rams a couple years ago. He's going to have to do a lot by himself.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My dumbass is flying down there. As a birthday present.Yay. Me too, my fiance got me tix for bday. I've already made peace in my mind that we will get crushed so I am looking forward to the travel, seeing the city and enjoying the stadium/holiday. Anything the Skins do positive will just seem like an early Christmas present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONTEY Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Was looking forward to it. Not sure right now. Lord our Skins are just so inconsistent. I thought they were about to get beyond such nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabsuz Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 By forgetting football and celebrating my 20th birthday. So theres one day of distraction from my misery. Yes, I was born on Thanksgiving. Although I am not sure it falls on Thanksgiving this particular year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium is incredible, so really go look around. The people are *REALLY* nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm going to put some tarp over my TV so it can block the drumstick that I'm sure to throw at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2v2nv Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My dumbass is flying down there. As a birthday present.Yay. I'd love to ignore my team's play and prove my fan-dome by doing this but I can't spend this kind of money on something that looks like a terrible product. I'll be staying at home this Christmas against my previous wishes.... I understand your concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MumboSauce Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I rather enjoy Thanksgiving when I can just watch football and not have to stress over my team playing or losing, in this case possibly losing to the Cowboys. Idk Alcohol will probably be my remedy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MintHillSkinsFan Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 My brother is flying out from Md. and we're going to the game. Ugh. The positive for me is that he doesn's drink so he can drive and I can be plenty numb by the time we tailgate, throughout the game, and on the ride home. With any luck I won't even remember the carnage the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veteranskinsfan Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 NoCalMIke- I would DVR the game. If the Skins pull off a surprise your cell phone will give you the basic info. you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFLSkins Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I am going camping, Wife booked it with family not knowing the Skins played that day/ maybe she is smarter than I thought? I have not missed a game since I can't remember, I hope the Sunday Ticket Mobile to go is linked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
