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?

    This is true sicko football.

    Just think about late May when you would kill to watch two bad nfl teams play

      ehhhh

      that was true for me 5 years ago but I’m starting to get to the point where the quality of the games has been so low for an extended period that I’m getting a little turned off by them. There’s a significant officiating issue in the league, QB play is kind of cruddy right now, injuries are rampant, commercials are seemingly more part of the game than gameplay itself, etc

      I’ll watch tonight because I don’t have a ton more to do but football is starting to become a little bit of a chore at times for me. Maybe it’s just me

        I’ve pretty much stopped watching football together, for the exact same reasons you mention. I’ll check out scores on GameDay and occasionally this sub, but that’s the extent of my involvement with the NFL.

        Doesn’t help that the NFL’s bad games aren’t as fun as CFB’s bad games where you have things like 7-3 (no touchdowns scored) that are just so ludicrous you can’t not enjoy it.

        I’m completely with you on this. Tbh fantasy leagues keep me intrigued otherwise I wouldn’t really care especially since I don’t have a team being in socal i truly don’t care how the Rams or Chargers do.

          Fantasy is great for that exact reason tbf. I’d enjoy Redzone on Sundays regardless, but I wouldn’t care nearly as much if shit talking rights weren’t on the line.

          As for games like this one, there’s no need to be live imo. I wait until around the 4th quarter starts; then I catch up. You can do it remarkably quickly and see literally every play. It’s perfect. Idk why I haven’t done it as much in the past.

      An extremely shitty game is just below a good game IMO. The worst are the games where one team is up by like 17 the entire game.
