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?

Clarissa Thompson tho

What a sports evening for me. TNF has a combined record of 3-14, and then my Sharks are playing the Oilers, who have a combined 3-18-2 record.

I can't wait to suffer with the rest of you.

Idk if this is the first one of the year, but prepare yourselves, FOR A TANK BOWL!!!!! https://youtu.be/3eCUaLJ1TNw?si=Mhx__lVPqDEJwqvg

[–] 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

[–] TheB1GLebowski@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

this is a big reason my beloved NBA could never compete with NFL. Awful teams vs each other are awesome to watch. BLowouts are awesome to watch.. wtf haha

What was emblematic of TNF was Mariota vs the BOAT, jag-bro

[–] can77991@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sometimes it's about how the teams match up, more than how good they are. Two crappy records could equal a entertaining game.

Can't wait to hear what Al Michaels thinks of this game. Can't wait to watch.... oh wait, it's not on TV smh.

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

Better than giant games.

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

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

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.

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

TNF needs to go away. It's sloppy and injury prone. I refuse to watch it, even if my team is playing.

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

It's got a tighter spread than Monday Night Football. It's also a must win for the Bears as they have the Panthers 1st. There are alot worse games to watch this week.

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

this game is gonna be so bad

i’m gonna love it

[–] The-Implication-0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

As a Bears fan, I too clearly enjoy watching bad football.

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.

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.

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

it was 14-3 by two minutes into the 2nd quarter, after which point the 9ers scored another twenty points and the raiders scored another....zero

Literally the only thing worth remembering in that game.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

[–] DanCampbell89@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nice try Bezos

[–] 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.

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.

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

I gotta tell you

I have like no motivation to walk this game. If you aren't a Panthers or a bears fans...why?

I got a hunch Bears will win
