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 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.
The fact they scheduled Ravens Bengals next Thursday which is a crucial division game for us on the heels of a crucial division game is rough. Short rest a prep time in between two major games.
True-bad football is much more acceptable as “bonus” football….
