The NFL really forced fans to watch two mid-offs during Monday Night Football, and they will pay for their crimes.
Listen, I get it. Sometimes, it’s hard to predict how good (or how bad) matchups will be when games are scheduled weeks in advance. But there is something about being subjected to a battered Caleb Williams and the dumpster fire Bears against the Vikings *AND* Kirk “I’m robbing the Falcons” Cousins against the Desmond Ridder-led Raiders that makes me wanna hurl.
I find it hard to believe there was no discussion about how gross these matchups would potentially be by the time Week 15 arrived and that something couldn’t be flexed. For goodness sake, Atlanta struggled to pull away from 2-12 Las Vegas despite leading by double digits for most of the game. Do you know how bad the matchup is when I’m rooting for Desmond Ridder to nail a game-winning Hail Mary touchdown just for excitement?!

But perhaps that’s my fault. The NFL knows it can serve slop to fans because it doesn’t matter how terrible the product is; they will watch it. Frankly, I’m disgusted with myself and the league for subjecting me to comically lousy football.
Someone needs to pay for their crimes. We can’t go on like this. At this point, I’d be open to another alt-cast. What about Family Guy? Rugrats? Bluey? Something. ANYTHING other than what I watched Monday.
WE ARE BEGGING YOU.
