Thursday Night Football is getting hammered for Commanders vs. Bears game

Thursday Night Football was not good last week. Somehow, it’s gotten even worse this week.
During last week’s broadcast, the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts slogged through a disappointing and bogged-down matchup. That game featured 7 total field goals and zero touchdowns while producing a 12-9 final score.
Amazingly, the game between the Washington Commanders and the Chicago Bears might be even worse. Heading into halftime, Washington had a 3-0 lead with a last-second Hail Mary attempt by the Bears one of the most exciting plays of the game.
To make matters more disappointing, Chicago drove inside the five-yard line at one point. Unfortunately, that drive was stopped short on a 4th-and-goal from the one-yard line.
Eventually, the Bears broke through with a huge touchdown pass from Justin Fields in the third quarter. Nevertheless, one score has not been enough to silence the critics of the broadcast and the continuous string of lackluster games on Amazon.
Last week’s TNF game was like watching paint dry. This one is like listening to paint dry.

Hey, Al and Kirk. You fellas haven’t seen a touchdown for awhile. I’m sure you Remember what one looks like… but just in case, it’s when a player possesses the football while breaking the plane of the endzone. Stay alert for that. 🙂

Can Amazon put the goose from the Dodgers game on screen for the next 3 hours?

The odds of getting bit by a shark are higher than a touchdown being scored tonight.

Bears/Commanders first half a lot like my golf game: Awful, but played at a brisk pace.

The last time there was a touchdown on Thursday Night Football, the Mets were still in first place in the NL East

Dan Snyder is threatening to make other owners watch the Washington Commanders play football if they attempt to hold him accountable for his actions.
