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?

Excuse me but don't sully minor league hockey with any comparison to the NFL.

I legit think this is only the 3rd least watchable game of the week. The amount of bad and unwatchable teams in the league -- even ones with winning records -- is higher than I can ever remember

Just another garbage TNF game, per usual. Stop watching them and they’ll schedule better games.

The TNF game last year when Marcus Mariota played a terrible game against the Panthers, culminating in this hilarious (almost) interception that I think about at least weekly. https://x.com/Theo_Williams_/status/1590915818250207232?s=20

Dolphins-Bengals 2013. The walk-off safety to win the game on Halloween night. Spooky indeed.

everyone wants a 25 year old maxed out on meth

Horrible games anyone signing up for prime games is a fool

Got tickets to Seahawks at Niners from a colleague, great seats, met friends at a pregame, ate and drank well, tossed the pigskin in the parking lot.

I was AMPED and half drunk ready for a sick divisional matchup.

5 field goals, final score 6-9

Jesus, i don't follow the NFL religiously, but do enjoy turning it on on days it's on (you know, Sundays and Mondays). But never on Thursdays. How did it get so bad that it's now engrained in my mind that Thursdays are shit? How did we get to this? Who chooses these games?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It’s going to be a terrible game and I plan on watching every snap.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

wasn't Broncos-Colts 2022 on TNF? That's the worst football game I've ever seen

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If the Panthers manage to get 20 points tonight I’ll be thrilled.

This one’s for the Sickos

Not to mention Al Michaels with the historically bad commentary

My Giants are due for TNF...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Last year, week 5, Colts @ Broncos. Colts won in OT 12-9.

I imagine they got the primetime spot because Wilson had just arrived in Denver and Matt Ryan was heading up the Colts.

One of the hardest games I've ever had to watch.

I love how early and overproduced the pre-game show is. Has anyone made a TNF bingo card yet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The Washington commanders against the bears last year was a horrid sight.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Disagree. The Bears have the Panthers pick, so they have incentive to make them the worst team in the league. On the flip side, the Bears have the Panthers pick, so they have incentive to NOT be the worst team in the league.

A statically all-time worst quarterback play, by Andy Dalton of the Bengals, giving Browns fans everywhere false hope in the 2014 game which had to be around Halloween.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm still convinced that watching that Broncos/49ers 11-10 game last year was punishment for something terrible I did in a past life.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The primecast kinda makes it fun

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This game will be somehow both awful and fantastic, just like Jets Chargers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

DJ Moore is gonna score the GWTD and I will drink my liver into a black fucking hole

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How does Drew Stanton and Ryan Lindley vs. Shaun Hill grab you?

I only watched this game because I bet on it.

TNF is for sickos

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

At least next week should be great. Bengals vs Ravens

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry to say but your favorite TNF game night sounds miserable to watch lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Cant be worse than chargers and jets

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I like TNF to be bad teams/games, because I don't care to watch football on Thursday nights. I almost never watch it, and its nice to simply miss a crappy game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

While the matchups don't seem interesting, there have been some wildly entertaining TNF games. Sometimes for how bad they are, sometimes for the surprising level of competition and crazy situations.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"Am I more of a joke than normal to you?" Bears-Commanders

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

On the other hand, next week we'll see the 6-3 Bengals fight the 7-3 Ravens for first place in the AFC North, with the Bengals winning. They will retain first place when the Steelers and Browns finish that week at 6-3-1.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Can they have actual panthers and bears fighting on a split screen?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I mean basically half of the games or more last season was a playoff team against a team that was awful or just two awful teams. Many lopsided games. Overall they were just bad last season. This season is something else with these primetime chargers and bears games constantly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I just think of it as the battle for the first pick

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The funniest part is that no matter who wins, it will both help and hurt the bears draft picks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Bagent is either going to get a TD record or turnover record tonight. It honestly doesn't matter which to me.
