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?

I think my favorite TNF game was Giants-Eagles in 2020. It was Daniel Jones vs. Carson Wentz. I knew it was going to be comical and the game did not disappoint. The best of the night was the Daniel Jones 80 yd run where he tripped.

Minor league hockey is fun as hell

I think this game would be greatly improved if Al Michaels enters into a crossover promo with a gambling site, and shares all of his bets on the game in real time and openly reacts to his props getting hit or missed.

We all know Herbstreit worships at the alter of football too much to gamble on it, so the combination of an actually engaged Al Michaels and a squirming Herbstreit would go a long ways to making this football game not suck.

Best part about tonight is - someones gotta win and either way I'm happy.

That's superbowl champion Chad Henne, friend!

[–] squish042@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And it'll still garner more eyeballs than the best college football game so far this season. The NFL is a ratings juggernaut no matter what teams are out there.

2018 week 3. The 1-1 Jets vs the 0-1-1 Browns in a mediocre game that featured Isaiah Crowell celebrating a touchdown against his former team by pretending to use the ball to wipe his ass. Also Baker’s regular season debut, leading the browns to their first win in 20 games

jags titans when jags wore the poop brown color rush unis was good

[–] AveratV6@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Putting two terrible teams together makes one hell of a game!

[–] Win546@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Does anyone else remember the TNF game back around like 2014/2015/2016 between the Jags and I think the Titans? IIRC it was a color rush game and I swear right before the game started they played this thing basically talking about how while both these teams are bad now, they could be good in the future. It was the weirdest thing ever and I was so confused why they would make something like that lol but I don't think I've ever been able to find it since.

I for one love the fact that TNF was willing to take a bullet for MNF. Ever since Thursday night games started, Monday Night Football has featured notably better games.

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

I love bad football games that I have no personal investment in.

[–] jojow77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t enjoy watching bad football.

[–] Rough_Huckleberry333@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The last three TNF games were good games that went down to the wire but people still perpetuate this shit.

2015 Bills v Jets color rush game. Bills wore bright red. Jets wore bright green. Everyone who was red-green colorblind was unable to watch the game because they couldn't tell the teams apart. Also, the game was one sided despite what the final score suggests. What an incredible disaster.

As long as its not a blow out I'll still be entertained

[–] Willnotholdoor4Hodor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lol exactly Thursdays are supposed to be terrible, same with almost every other prime time game but even when they have a chance to fix their mistakes they still choose to put up the jets vs the raiders.

[–] Embarrassed_Matter3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m just glad I get to watch the Panthers disappoint me tonight. That means I can watch football all day Sunday and just be happy.

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

Woah, minor league hockey rules

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

Nothing could be worse than Colts - Broncos last year

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

Can both teams win somehow?

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

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

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

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

[–] 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!
