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?

Last year's Broncos-Colts game, where IND won in OT 9-6 was particularly horrendous.

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

Woah, minor league hockey rules

16-13 Panthers win

[–] Consistent_Bit112@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

I like that we get to see teams playing that we normally wouldn't.

[–] v4xN0s@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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!

#TNF - Terrible Night Football#

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

Oh man last years Colts Broncos game was the worst football game I have ever watched in my whole life and I was pleading it would go into overtime. When It did I knew it would be an all timer, I just wish it ended in a tie

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

Can both teams win somehow?

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

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.

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

[–] Top-Seaworthiness172@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Zaza1019@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wouldn't it be easier to list good TNF games? Because every TNF game aside from maybe Thanksgiving day games are bad.

[–] BamaFan87@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

[–] Lungorthin666@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] OkHawk2903@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

games like these are exactly why the nfl pushed fantasy football and is currently pushing gambling on the public

[–] Similar-Stranger7375@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My favorite is the Fail Mary, I was at that game. I'm a Seahawks fan, and the rest of my family are Packers fans. It was an awkward ride home lol.

[–] mm825@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Sabres00@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

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

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

Bears are definitely better off winning this game and tanking the rest of the way.

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

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.

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

Hey that is two time superbowl champ and KC playoff legend Chad Henne!

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

Easy math- Thursday night draws 3x the viewership that these shitty games would have drawn if played on top of other Sunday afternoon games…NFL is serving up trash because what the fuck else you gonna watch?

[–] Kershiser22@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] LaphroaigianSlip81@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

Cant be worse than chargers and jets

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

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

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

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

[–] Kiristo@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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.

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

TNF is the MACtion of the NFL

[–] DarthR3V@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] MAHOMES_10_TIME_MVP@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] 13oBandit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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
