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 need both defenses to show up. I need this to be something like 10-10 or 13-10 in the final minute. Al is already fed up and has been talking shit since the mid 3rd quarter.
Then here we go…a special teams mishaps. Carolina is in position to kick a field goal to send it to overtime. Al is beside himself with rage. The kick goes up and in.
Al promises “I’m not going to say another word because this game is bullshit” and forces Herbstreit to finish the game by himself.
The game ends tied at 13
