NFL

I'm so sick of people bitching about primetime games as if the NFL can perfectly predict who will be fun to watch, or that games can magically be re-scheduled from Sunday to Thursday.

If you actually like football, there will be entertainment in this game. Records don't matter after kick off

Does anyone else remember the TNF game back around like 2014/2015/2016 between the Jags and I think the Titans? IIRC it was a color rush game and I swear right before the game started they played this thing basically talking about how while both these teams are bad now, they could be good in the future. It was the weirdest thing ever and I was so confused why they would make something like that lol but I don't think I've ever been able to find it since.

the most entertaining part is trying to figure out who Al Michaels bet on. he's the best

I had to watch 20 years of bad Buffalo Bills football on a weekly basis, you guys can sit through one game.

Lol exactly Thursdays are supposed to be terrible, same with almost every other prime time game but even when they have a chance to fix their mistakes they still choose to put up the jets vs the raiders.

I love bad football games that I have no personal investment in.

The best part about this game is that it doesn't even really have tanking implications since the Bears hold both their picks hahaha

TNF would be vastly improved if all their games were division matchups. Won't always get a close game, but I believe there at least will be more people invested in it.

Ok but at least we get that early morning electric barnburner Germany game. Let’s see who is playing. 4-5 colts against the lifeless 2-7 pats. Enjoy!

Can both teams win somehow?

Minor league hockey is great. TNF should hire the MST3K guys for commentary.

Honestly, I love games like this. I throw a party every year that we call "The Toilet Bowl." It has no set date, just when two of the worst teams in the league meet, we have too much to drink and have a laugh.

You know, now that you mention it, the party does seems to land on a Thursday every year.

I don’t know why the NFL doesn’t just schedule post season rematches for the first 3 TNF games. Of course they should try to schedule an entire season of good prime time games before hand. But they should Then have the ability to flex the remaining TNF games based on current season performance.

Take last year for example. How many prime time games did the broncos have? Should have been flexed out of all of them as soon as it became apparent they were dumpster fires.

16-13 Panthers win

I hope you just reverse jinxed it and we have a good game

Put him on the San Jose sharks broadcast instead tonight and if they win do the whole do you believe in miracles thing again

Not sure why people are being harsh on tonight's TNF game. I am sure it will be close and interesting.

#TNF - Terrible Night Football#

It seems like they always involve the AFC South, and I'm here for it

Dude, minor league hockey is way better than most TNF games.

I love the NFL.

I hate Thursday games. (I'm not even a huge fan of the Thanksgiving games, because I rarely get to watch them due to Holiday activities.)

Part of what makes the NFL great is the "once per week" aspect. Then one last game on Monday to cap it off. Thursday games just ruin the flow. Not to mention the Thursday games put a bit of a wrench into fantasy football and office pool timelines.

And then to cap it all off, by forcing (nearly?) all teams to play a Thursday game each year, by definition it puts too many bad teams in those matchups.

Just the color rush jerseys from TNF were truly awful as well

It's tough man I've been randomly getting recommended full broadcasts of 90s nfc Monday night football matchups on YouTube. Al is on some of them and is just great. I also think he's the best Madden gameplay commentator we ever got. Tough that it ends this way

I'm super into this match-up tonight. I want chaos. I want embarrassment. I want Al Michaels making fun of 2 moribund franchises with no hope and no future. 20 turnovers. Comical interceptions. Fumble pinball.

IDK what you are talking about, I'm personally excited for a DJ Moore revenge game.

I can't watch this train wreck tonight. What time does it start? It's going to be tank bowl time, even though the Panthers have zero first round picks next year lol.

Cardinals 12, Rams 6 (Dec. 11, 2014) -- The King of Kaka. There's never been another Thursday night game as grotesque and unwatchable as this one. With Carson Palmer injured for the season, Arizona turned to Drew Stanton. Sam Bradford had been lost for the year during the preseason with an ACL tear, which meant Shaun Hill was under center for the Rams. Do we need to keep going? During the game, Stanton was sacked by rookie Aaron Donald, forcing him to also leave with a knee injury.

Third-stringer Ryan Lindley came in relief, going 4-of-10 for 30 yards... in a victory. Arizona overcame five penalties on its first two drives, and cobbled together four field goals from Chandler Catanzaro. Luckily for the Cardinals, the Rams' offense was an abomination. They finished 4-of-15 on third down, had six penalties, and turned the ball over twice. Tre Mason led the Rams in rushing with 33 yards. There's no lower moment in Thursday night history.

I thought TNF could flex games this year what did we do to deserve this

There was that Chiefs Raiders game that had like 3 untimed downs at the end of the game. That was fun.

Also remember the 1-7 Raiders vs 2-7 49ers in 2018, the Nick Mullen's game.

Minor league hockey is actually much more interesting

Only highlight tonight will be that Jason Kelce will be in Chicago for it, other than that wtf NFL, another trash primetime game with the two worst teams. Unbelievable

Ew

The 6-6 tie between Cards and Seahawks. Ended with two missed field goals. It was beautiful.

Colts/Broncos was truly something.
