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?

It's the sicko game of the week.

[–] Ryan9245@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You might not like AFC South, Bears, and Broncos overrepresentation on TNF and Raiders, Chargers, Jets on MNF, but that’s just the way it has to be…

I'm in the UK, so because of timezone issues I usually watch TNF/SNF/MNF in the morning, UK time. It's one of my little rituals during the NFL season.

I'm also a Bears fan, and absolutely hate watching them. It totally ruins my morning football enjoyment when the game I wait all week to watch is the fucking Bears.

If you like watching bad football, you might be interested in tonight's NHL game between the Edmonton Oilers and the San Jose Sharks. Sadly, the Sharks finally managed to win their game in on Tuesday, but it's still a 2-8-1 team versus a 1-10-1 team. (For those that need clarification, the third number is a loss in overtime, which still gives you partial credit).

i’m gonna love it

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

Holy shit I remember exactly where I was for that Texans Jags game - I just didn't watch it because of the match-up. But I 100% know where I was standing when I checked lol

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

Still rather watch it than any baseball game

I have grown to really enjoy TNF for some reason, even moreso when bad teams are involved. I can't explain why, but maybe it's partially because it's sort of like gravy on your week.

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

Honestly I think they should just have one game every week where they intentionally schedule bad teams to play each other so they can talk smack the entire time. Just give it to the Mannings and let them shit all over them every chance they get

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

Tonight, we are all Panthers fans.

[–] Sirpatron1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Better than giant games.

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

I will forever associate TNF with Jags Titans. All of them.

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

If Inside the NBA is on with Chuck and friends, that usually takes priority over TNF unless the Raiders are playing, particularly when it’s not a load management game.

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

Thank you for reminding me that the game isnt worth watching. Now I can work late without feeling im missing out.

[–] sultan33g@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Leave my team alone!! 😭

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

This is going to be one hell of a tank bowl.

Quit crying and laugh.

[–] boomheadshot7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Amazon product isn’t great, and I’ve been saying it since its inception even after this sub dick rode it for a year.

Just put it back on TV…

[–] fiendzone@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The worst NFL game is 10000% more entertaining than anything else on a Thursday.

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.

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

Avid Bears fan here. I'm prepared for misery and I'm sorry we are inflicting this pain on a national audience.

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

This will unironically be one of the best games of the season

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

Tonight's game is why the NFL put TNF on a streaming service

What’s wild is how popular the NFL has become in spite of it being a worse product each season. It must be the legalized gambling. Too many penalties and lengthy reviews, tv networks over produce games with like 96 camera angles. No one needs 3 different replay angles of a run up the middle for 3 yards. Replays are for extraordinary plays, not every play. American attention spans are a joke, apparently. The main reason for watching is to see a gruesome injury that can be replayed from 7 angles.

[–] ThatDudeUKnow92@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Don't talk down on minor league hockey like that. The ECHL/AHL are way more entertaining than this piece shit will be. The NBA wins my TV tonight.

[–] MadDog1981@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I will happily watch the grossest movie on the Joe Bob Briggs show and feel less sick than this game will make me.

[–] veRGe1421@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Who remembers that MNF game a few years ago (2018?) that was Rams vs Chiefs, and there was so much scoring it was almost like a college game lol. Both teams had 50+ points, it was nuts. TNF seems like the opposite of that potential every time lmao

[–] tytrim89@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I need both defenses to show up. I need this to be something like 10-10 or 13-10 in the final minute. Al is already fed up and has been talking shit since the mid 3rd quarter.

Then here we go...a special teams mishaps. Carolina is in position to kick a field goal to send it to overtime. Al is beside himself with rage. The kick goes up and in.

Al promises "I'm not going to say another word because this game is bullshit" and forces Herbstreit to finish the game by himself.

The game ends tied at 13

I believe TNF is about watching bad football.

This is some Sicko's Committee shit and I'm here for it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

TNF is for sickos

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

I'm a Panthers fan and even I'm not watching this one.

[–] sweens90@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

Truly a toilet bowl night

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

Honestly, some of the best night games I've ever seen were between two bad teams. It's when you've got one bad and one good team that it's shit.

[–] content_enjoy3r@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Hey, that's future HOFer Matt Schaub to you, pal.

[–] GreatGuy2550@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Battle of the Bad tonight. As a Chicago fan, I would’ve never asked to have this garbage out upon the national audience but this is one we MUST win due to draft implications.

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

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

[–] Nervous-Awareness482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Happy to oblige

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

Wasn't that Jags vs Texans game where the Jag's fan's wife said they could do anal for the first time if the Jags won?

If it was not that game, that is the terrible TNF game I remember the most fondly.

[–] ACW1129@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Get rid of TNF.

[–] PowerHour1990@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sounds like a good night to watch Killers of the Flower Moon a second time.

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

Thursday football should be played on one Thursday per year.

Since the league won't do that, having bad teams is the best possible option. I agree, embrace the suck.
