NFL

Tonight, we are all Panthers fans.

Can't wait for Kirk to tell us every player's height and weight, which seems to be his go to contribution.

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.

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.

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).

Titans v Jags is always nice on TNF...

we at least got a 99 yard TD run out of one of them.

I’m going to this game in person tonight. I am quite excited to see how ugly this game is going to be. If Young, the #1 pick, loses to UDFA Bagent, I will never let my little brother, who is a Panthers fan, live this down.

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…

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

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.

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

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

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

Quit crying and laugh.

I believe TNF is about watching bad football.

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

Still rather watch it than any baseball game

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

My favorite Thursday game was the 49ers / Rams in 2017. Rams had 1 win and 49ers had 0 wins.

Final score was 41-39, Rams win. But the 49ers had a successful onside kick, and were driving for a FG at the end. But a great 3rd down conversion pass got called back for a very iffy OPI basically icing the game. Even with the loss we could blame the refs and were hoping for better things. A very exciting game in any case. I was at the stadium and it was lit.

This game has major implications, it determines where Caleb is going

If you're not hyped for it, you don't like NFL football

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.

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

I had to check and it turns out it was more of a spiritually TNF game (it was actually MNF), but I'm going to go with Jets/Titans 2012 regardless. Mike Tirico's call of the Jets' final play will be forever etched into my brain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku7mvasCeNM @ 26:58. Even though it was not on a Thursday, it is the most TNF game I can remember.

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.

Happy to oblige

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.

My favorite is always when the announcers turn on the teams. Not just run-of-the-mill joking and talking about other things - but outright saying that these are not good teams playing bad football.

To those who don't want Al

TNF is great for this, I'd much rather watch two awful teams play sloppy, penalty filled football than watch a good team like the Eagles kick the shit out of someone like the Panthers. It's way more entertaining watching two awful teams struggle to find out who is worse.

Tank bowl, but whoever wins, the bears also win.

Might be more exciting than the Chargers Jets game on Monday.

The best thing about tonight is how many times Michaels just unloads about what a crap matchup this is.

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.

There was a color rush tnf game that I can't remember who was playing (I wanna say Texans or bucs vs jets) and the uniforms were bright red and bright green and I couldn't help but think the whole time. "There are a ton of colorblind people that have no idea what the fuck is going on this game)

Games was awful too of course

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
