Tonights game pits the 1-7 Panthers against the 2-7 Bears. I for one am incredibly excited because I believe TNF is about watching bad football.

My favorite TNF game of all time was the WK 14 2013 game pitting an awful Texans squad against my own awful Jaguars. Jaguars would go on to win an incredibly ugly and penalty filled (22 of them) 27-20 with Matt Schaub, Case Keenum, Chad Henne, and MJD putting on a show for a national audience that probably went to bad that night with the same feeling as you would have after going minor league hockey game.

What are some other wonderfully awful TNF Matchups that we can remember?

Throw the house on Panthers ML. There is no world that exists in this universe where this Bears team deserves to be a 3 point favorite with a back up QB playing.

This is true sicko football.

Just think about late May when you would kill to watch two bad nfl teams play

I just like to throw together crazy parlays on games like this to make things a little more interesting... I'm talking like 8-10 leggers that pay out +8000. Mostly wasting my money, but makes me care about the game more than I would otherwise.

I’m fine with bad football, but fuck no to penalty filled football

Can't wait for Kirk to tell us every player's height and weight, which seems to be his go to contribution.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The worst part about it is listening to a half-asleep Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit who doesn’t seem to understand the pro game.

Easy math- Thursday night draws 3x the viewership that these shitty games would have drawn if played on top of other Sunday afternoon games…NFL is serving up trash because what the fuck else you gonna watch?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

TNF is the MACtion of the NFL

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Gonna be trash, unless you have money on the game or are a fan of one of the two teams (do diehard, non bandwagon Panthers fans actually exist) there’s literally no reason to watch.

AWS processed trillions of lines of data just to give us THIS matchup on TNF

I feel like TNF games are usually shit

I love how we are treated both to Bears- Panthers and Sharks Oilers tonight.

Truly a toilet bowl night

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

this is a big reason my beloved NBA could never compete with NFL. Awful teams vs each other are awesome to watch. BLowouts are awesome to watch.. wtf haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

So you're saying there's a chance

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You may have just convinced me to actually watch this lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This game is gonna fuck lets be serious

It's about to be the subway sandwiches of football games: It would have been a lot better if it was 2013 and the product wasn't as impacted by cratering standards and sexual abuse scandals, but as long as nobody tells you off for enjoying it it'll be decently enjoyable.

I have to remind myself that I'd rather watch a bad game on Thursday and a good game on Sunday.

Nothing worse than extraneous variables playing on huge games during short weeks.

I will never forget Myles Garrett ripping off Mason Rudolphs helmet and taking a swing at his head with it.

my favorite part of that was AB tweeting a pic of him Sparta kicking that Browns punter in the face, with the caption “this is for you Mason”

The Smurfs vs. UPS drivers game in 2015 between the 2-7 Titans and the 3-6 Jaguars. It was an ugly game and the Titans lost, but those color rush uniforms were just comical to look at.

As a Bears fan, I too clearly enjoy watching bad football.

I just like football, I don’t care if their good/bad teams as long as everyone is trying

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Fantasy football helps so much when it comes to watching bad matchups. I have Kmet going tonight, so there’s one reason to tune in.

Browns Steelers when Mynkah Fitzpatrick exploded Nick Chubb’s knee.

That game frigging sucked.

Cardinals @ eagles in like 2016. Possibly the game right before Chip Kelly was fired in season? I as actually there in person. Awful game.

That Broncos-Colts shitfest where Russell Wilson missed a wide open KJ Hamler in the end zone on the final play of OT.

I still feel obligated to apologize to America for my team.

Additionally I am seeking therapy for my affliction with the Bears.

The Jaguars vs Titans game in 2018 where Derrick Henry practically murdered the entire Jags defense was one of the greatest TNF games of all time. Neither of those teams made the playoffs.

This game will go down in League history as one of the NFL games to have ever been played.

I don’t really enjoy bad games, but I do enjoy aggressively bad games. This is an example of just an over the top aggressively bad game so I think it will be fun for all the wrong reasons.

Lol watch this be an amazing game. For once the Panthers offense decides to help Bryce. And the Bears actually properly utilize DJ Moore.

Late last year Jets vs Jags. Wilson gets benched for Streveler who can’t throw more than 5 yards down the field. Glorious game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You really have to hate yourself to watch this game. See you all in the thread later tonight.

week 9 2018 pitted the 2-7 49ers against the 1-6 raiders.

it was 14-3 by two minutes into the 2nd quarter, after which point the 9ers scored another twenty points and the raiders scored another....zero

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Nick Mullens played the whole 60 minutes but hindsight will tell us it was really just 15.
