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?

Wait what feeling is this supposed to be? Do I need to go to a minor league hockey game lol?

Woah, i go to minor hockey games all the time and they are WAY more entertaining than TNF.

Y’all remember when Isiah Crowell wiped his ass with the ball on TNF?

Thursday Night Football is like the battle of unwanted sons

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

I think I agree with you. Thursday Night games are about watching bad football. All we need now is either Joel/Mike and the bots riffing on it.

So you're saying there's a chance

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

At six or so minutes into the third, I’d say it say it ranks among the Thursdayest of all Thursday games.

Next week will be a test. Either a great game or both teams will be sluggish and the game will be like 18-9

[–] reaper527@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

part of the problem is that all teams are guaranteed prime time games. that means you can either have a good team murdering a bad team during 2 bad games, or you can have 2 bad teams play each other in 1 game so you can have a meaningful matchup another week.

I told my wife I would watch a movie if she wanted.

She said "Isn't there football?"

I said "Not really."

2009 the Super Bowl champion Steelers lost to Brady Quinn and the Cleveland browns 13-6 and were eliminated from playoff contention. Josh Cribbs was the mvp of the game.

TNF is a consistently bad product, and it's devaluing the NFL brand. They really should take them out entirely.

2016 Week 8 Jaguars vs. Titans. Never a less desirable matchup, but I put up $1500 on Tennessee to cover because it was all promotional credit on Bovada and I didn't know I could convert it to actual money by sacrificing the original $100 bonus that I had already double-up several times. I thought I was playing with essentially play money at the time.

I was able to pay for our honeymoon because of that game

The Titans vs Jags color rush games in the early 2010s where the Jags had baby poop colored jerseys were always my favorite

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

Next game though is Cincinnati at Baltimore. Should be a good one.
