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?

Dude MJD is a name I haven’t heard in a long time

At this point the announcers should go full on MST3K/Riff Trax. That would be amazing.

Is it in Bears bear interest to lose or win? Regarding draft order. Or would a tie be best? Since they have their 1st and Carolina’s 1st next draft.

Either way this has to be an all worst matchup on Prime Time Game this late in the season, as far as team records are concerned.

You are thief of joy. Just because something isnt perfect you choose to stare at the flaw and criticize it. You would look at the liberty bell and bemoan the crack all the while ignoring the freedom it stands for. You would look at the Mona Lisa and lament its age while ignoring the artistic bliss on the canvas.

My challenge to you and to all the negative nellies out there is to watch the game and find the greatness on the field. Pay attention to the tackle who keeps stopping the end from getting to the QB, revel in the subtle shift in the hips of the RB as he breaks past the line of scrimmage, exalt in the poetry of the tapping toes of the WR along the sideline. There will be plenty of amazing moments. The score of the game and the season finish of the teams may not be remarkable, but it is football and if you want you will find the beauty.

Titans vs Jaguars

every Thursday night game that isn't on network TV or NFL network is an embarrassment.

My favorite was the absolute misery of a game last year where it was Washington (I think still Football Team) against the Colts. Washington won 10-7 when the Colts could’ve ended the game as a tie on the last play but instead went for it and lost lol. Worst game I have ever seen

You forget when Baker Mayfield took the field for the first time to heat the… Jets I believe.

Actually, i guess that just further proves the point. Great game to watch actually

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

As a Pats fan, go Bears!

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

If the game is close, I'll be glad I watched. I'd rather see the Panthers play the Bears than the Eagles.

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

This whole shitty season is THrusday night football

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

It's got a tighter spread than Monday Night Football. It's also a must win for the Bears as they have the Panthers 1st. There are alot worse games to watch this week.

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

Titans Jags was pretty much an awful TNF tradition.

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

are they still doing the puppy bowl? thats all I care about at this very moment.

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

No one else is gonna mention the Cardinals v Rams game from 2014? We saw the All Time QB Battle between Shaun Hill and Ryan Lindley. The three QBs who play got a combined passer rating of 61.75. The Rams leading rusher had 33 yards. Final score: 12-6.

It was probably the worst display of professional athletics I've ever seen.

and yet every game I get an Amazon AI commercial toughting its ability to run millions of scenarios to develope the BEST schedule.

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

So how did the same scheduling department book this game this week, Bengals/Ravens next week, and think, “Yeah, this is about the same level of competition”?

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

I just read a stat that said the bears have a 47% percent chance of the #1 pick if they win and a 23% of the #1 pick if they lose. That's absurd levels of dogshit.

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

I mean, this looks like this game is too determine which of Chicago's two 1st round draft picks will be first. Carolina can't even properly tank as they gave their first round pick away already. (I'm not watching.)

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

I'm a Panthers fan, and it's hard for me to get motivated to watch it. I only care about it because I want to give them a lower draft pick next year.

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

Ok, so this is going to be an MST3K-worthy game.

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

I actually really enjoy TNF. I would never in my life willingly watch bad or average teams unless it were my own. It's a nice low threat casual thing to turn on in the background.

For the record I also sadistically LOVE preseason football.

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

Buncha haters, this will be the best NFL game broadcast all day

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

Bears are really going to want this to end in a tie, huh? No matter what, one of their picks tonight falls in value.

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

Is there a mid season game that matters less than this one

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

what’re the betting odds that Al Michaels falls asleep on air tonight?

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

What was emblematic of TNF was Mariota vs the BOAT, jag-bro

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

Did we forget about last year's Colts-Broncos game? Not a single touchdown was scored and both teams did almost everything in their power to help the other team win.
