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 feel like TNF games are usually shit

[–] sweens90@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love how we are treated both to Bears- Panthers and Sharks Oilers tonight.

Truly a toilet bowl night

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.

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

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

This one’s for the Sickos

Excuse me but don't sully minor league hockey with any comparison to the NFL.

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

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

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

I only watched this game because I bet on it.

[–] JustSlay2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

The Washington commanders against the bears last year was a horrid sight.

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

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

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

This game will be somehow both awful and fantastic, just like Jets Chargers

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

Just another garbage TNF game, per usual. Stop watching them and they’ll schedule better games.

[–] _-ResearchPrimary-_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

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

If the Panthers manage to get 20 points tonight I’ll be thrilled.

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

The primecast kinda makes it fun

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

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.

everyone wants a 25 year old maxed out on meth

[–] kander77@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

At least next week should be great. Bengals vs Ravens

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

I like TNF to be bad teams/games, because I don't care to watch football on Thursday nights. I almost never watch it, and its nice to simply miss a crappy game.

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

TNF is for sickos

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

You may have just convinced me to actually watch this lol

[–] TigerCat9@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] aflame13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Minor league hockey is actually much more interesting

[–] thetuch88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

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

[–] uniqueusername316@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Reasonable-HB678@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

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

Bagent is either going to get a TD record or turnover record tonight. It honestly doesn't matter which to me.

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

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

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

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

[–] Nobaddays123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dude MJD is a name I haven’t heard in a long time

[–] ttrree4455@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My Giants are due for TNF...
