Out of market Huddlers - how are you watching the Panthes games this year?

I've been in Texas for three years now so I've done some maneuvering to watch the Panthers in Cowboys/Texans territory.  In 2011 I went to bars and streamed the games online.  It got kinda frustrating at times because the stream wasn't always that good and going to a bar isn't always what I wanted to do when I'm hungover and my friends are too hungover to come with me haha.

 

In 2012 I bought Sunday Ticket for the PS3 which worked out well.  It was a generally high quality stream and the game was available unless the Panthers were in primetime or were playing a Texas team.  In 2013 you could buy Madden 25 for $100 and get NFL Sunday Ticket for mobile and computer.  I bought that in a heartbeat and watched the games on my computer hooked up to my TV.  Solid choice all year.  

 

This year I'm not sure what I'm going to do.  I tried to buy Sunday Ticket for the PS3 again (which I heard was going to be available) but it's not.  I'm wondering if DirecTV is just waiting until the last possible minute to offer it for the PS3 to get as many people as possible to register for their subscription instead of just buying Sunday Ticket on the Playstation.  If they don't I might be hitting up the bars again...

I moved to Annapolis, Maryland from Charlotte last year. It was all online streams for me save for a few weeks we were on national tv. Streams are, as everyone has mentioned, low quality and unreliable.

I think I'm gonna try slingbox this year and have one of my friends in Charlotte hook it up to their cable box. I should then be able to get the games in HD on my computer and I'll just hook my computer up to the big screen.

Where in Texas? I know some Panthers fans in Austin who get together for the games. 

 

Yea Austin.  I've watched a couple games with Delhommey and I've got some friends who moved down here from NC I watch games with sometimes.  Everyone's so damn busy though.

Like I do every single year... A bar in the city that has Sunday Ticket. Sucks when a Pats game is on too and all the fat bastards cheering for them won't shut up but at least I get to see our boys in action.

I had to watch the Panthers when they 1-15 while I was living in Philly. I had to fight just to get one TV turned to them. It was always the smallest one in the worst location that never got any waitress service. Pretty sure the TV was black and white, too. That season was the most I've ever consistently drank on Sundays.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
