NFL

Can they have actual panthers and bears fighting on a split screen?

Cant be worse than chargers and jets

I mean basically half of the games or more last season was a playoff team against a team that was awful or just two awful teams. Many lopsided games. Overall they were just bad last season. This season is something else with these primetime chargers and bears games constantly

At this point the announcers should go full on MST3K/Riff Trax. That would be amazing.

every Thursday night game that isn't on network TV or NFL network is an embarrassment.

The funniest part is that no matter who wins, it will both help and hurt the bears draft picks

Is it in Bears bear interest to lose or win? Regarding draft order. Or would a tie be best? Since they have their 1st and Carolina’s 1st next draft.

Either way this has to be an all worst matchup on Prime Time Game this late in the season, as far as team records are concerned.

I just think of it as the battle for the first pick

Titans vs Jaguars

AKA

El Assico

I for one am incredibly excited because I believe TNF is about watching bad football.

You are thief of joy. Just because something isnt perfect you choose to stare at the flaw and criticize it. You would look at the liberty bell and bemoan the crack all the while ignoring the freedom it stands for. You would look at the Mona Lisa and lament its age while ignoring the artistic bliss on the canvas.

My challenge to you and to all the negative nellies out there is to watch the game and find the greatness on the field. Pay attention to the tackle who keeps stopping the end from getting to the QB, revel in the subtle shift in the hips of the RB as he breaks past the line of scrimmage, exalt in the poetry of the tapping toes of the WR along the sideline. There will be plenty of amazing moments. The score of the game and the season finish of the teams may not be remarkable, but it is football and if you want you will find the beauty.

My favorite was the absolute misery of a game last year where it was Washington (I think still Football Team) against the Colts. Washington won 10-7 when the Colts could’ve ended the game as a tie on the last play but instead went for it and lost lol. Worst game I have ever seen

are they still doing the puppy bowl? thats all I care about at this very moment.

Is there a mid season game that matters less than this one

and yet every game I get an Amazon AI commercial toughting its ability to run millions of scenarios to develope the BEST schedule.

You forget when Baker Mayfield took the field for the first time to heat the… Jets I believe.

Actually, i guess that just further proves the point. Great game to watch actually

I'm a Panthers fan, and it's hard for me to get motivated to watch it. I only care about it because I want to give them a lower draft pick next year.

Ok, so this is going to be an MST3K-worthy game.

No one else is gonna mention the Cardinals v Rams game from 2014? We saw the All Time QB Battle between Shaun Hill and Ryan Lindley. The three QBs who play got a combined passer rating of 61.75. The Rams leading rusher had 33 yards. Final score: 12-6.

It was probably the worst display of professional athletics I've ever seen.

I actually really enjoy TNF. I would never in my life willingly watch bad or average teams unless it were my own. It's a nice low threat casual thing to turn on in the background.

For the record I also sadistically LOVE preseason football.

I just read a stat that said the bears have a 47% percent chance of the #1 pick if they win and a 23% of the #1 pick if they lose. That's absurd levels of dogshit.

Titans Jags was pretty much an awful TNF tradition.

Buncha haters, this will be the best NFL game broadcast all day

As a Pats fan, go Bears!

It will probably be more enjoyable that when us New Yorkers had to watch the jets - giants game honestly .

Watching HS football is more enjoyable this year than any NY team

So how did the same scheduling department book this game this week, Bengals/Ravens next week, and think, “Yeah, this is about the same level of competition”?

If the game is close, I'll be glad I watched. I'd rather see the Panthers play the Bears than the Eagles.

This whole shitty season is THrusday night football

I mean, this looks like this game is too determine which of Chicago's two 1st round draft picks will be first. Carolina can't even properly tank as they gave their first round pick away already. (I'm not watching.)

Can’t remember when but it was bears Steelers Thursday. Rainy. Score was 9-6.
