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?

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

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

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

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.

If you can't deal with the NFL at it's Panthers-Bearsiest, than ypu don't deserve it at its Chiefs-Eagleiest.

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

I’m going to this game in person tonight. I am quite excited to see how ugly this game is going to be. If Young, the #1 pick, loses to UDFA Bagent, I will never let my little brother, who is a Panthers fan, live this down.

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

You may have just convinced me to actually watch this lol

[–] Ripwind@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] Username-Awesome@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

There is something sublime about watching terrible QBs play and realizing that they are almost certainly 2 of the best 60 people in a world of over 8 billion at this one thing, and they are complete dogshit.

Like, I don't know if the mediocrity makes me feel better or worse about who I am and what I do.

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

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

That game frigging sucked.

[–] sonfoa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] NotThatSteve-o@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] RealPropRandy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] KaleidoscopeOk19@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] _fastball@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

An extremely shitty game is just below a good game IMO. The worst are the games where one team is up by like 17 the entire game.

TNF i find interesting as its normally not so good games or teams that no one would seek out to watch on a sunday so it gives you a chance to watch teams you never really would see otherwise and bad football is better than no football.

[–] UndeadVinDiesel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

It will never not blow my mind that Amazon agreed to pay $1 billion a year for 11 years for the exclusive rights to broadcast games of this caliber.
