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.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
