NFL

The 6-6 tie between Cards and Seahawks. Ended with two missed field goals. It was beautiful.

Cardinals 12, Rams 6 (Dec. 11, 2014) -- The King of Kaka. There's never been another Thursday night game as grotesque and unwatchable as this one. With Carson Palmer injured for the season, Arizona turned to Drew Stanton. Sam Bradford had been lost for the year during the preseason with an ACL tear, which meant Shaun Hill was under center for the Rams. Do we need to keep going? During the game, Stanton was sacked by rookie Aaron Donald, forcing him to also leave with a knee injury.

Third-stringer Ryan Lindley came in relief, going 4-of-10 for 30 yards... in a victory. Arizona overcame five penalties on its first two drives, and cobbled together four field goals from Chandler Catanzaro. Luckily for the Cardinals, the Rams' offense was an abomination. They finished 4-of-15 on third down, had six penalties, and turned the ball over twice. Tre Mason led the Rams in rushing with 33 yards. There's no lower moment in Thursday night history.

There was that Chiefs Raiders game that had like 3 untimed downs at the end of the game. That was fun.

Also remember the 1-7 Raiders vs 2-7 49ers in 2018, the Nick Mullen's game.

I can't watch this train wreck tonight. What time does it start? It's going to be tank bowl time, even though the Panthers have zero first round picks next year lol.

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

Gonna be trash, unless you have money on the game or are a fan of one of the two teams (do diehard, non bandwagon Panthers fans actually exist) there’s literally no reason to watch.

AWS processed trillions of lines of data just to give us THIS matchup on TNF

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?

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

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

Colts/Broncos was truly something.

Horrible games anyone signing up for prime games is a fool

This one’s for the Sickos

Not to mention Al Michaels with the historically bad commentary

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

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

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

I only watched this game because I bet on it.

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.

I feel like TNF games are usually shit

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.

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.

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

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

Minor league hockey is actually much more interesting

At least next week should be great. Bengals vs Ravens

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

The primecast kinda makes it fun

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.

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.

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

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
