CBS will live-stream two regular season games

For the first time ever, CBS will be streaming two regular season NFL games for free, no authentication required.

The first game will be between the Jets and Dolphins October 4th. That game is being played in London and the stream starts at 9:30am eastern.

The second game? You guessed it. The Panthers vs Cowboys Thanksgiving matchup will stream for free on CBS. Pretty damn cool if you ask me.

which is 2:30PM local time. they could have pushed it back an hour or two to make it 4::30GMT/11:30ET/9:30PT.

4:30 GMT would make it 8:30 PDT, so not really much better, and the NFL specifically moved the games earlier in London's day to boost attendance.  The games used to be played late so they would air at usual US times, I think as recently as 2013.

If it were two west coast teams they would probably consider it.  However, it's two east coast teams playing in London.  They probably aren't too worried about the folks west of the Rockies.

my guess is the real reason they moved it is so that it won't conflict with the regular games. Starting it at 9:30ET finishes at Noon:30, which is...wait for it...30min before the regular games are supposed to start. *gasp*

what a coincidence. it's all marketing, so they can showcase the UK games.

    • Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
    • Couldn't agree more, Kooch is erratic and Freddy is fragile, maybe save the remaining cap space for a goalie stud at the deadline
    • There is one play that sold me-- it was around 2:38, I think.  It was 4th and 1 and the QB telegraphed and threw the ball out wide to TMac.  He had no blocking (the TE was very late) and four defenders collapsed on TMac behind the LOS. They seemed to know it was coming.  He got hit behind the LOS and battled through several hits to get three yards.  THAT play showed me his fire.
