I know I pay basically a cable bill, but I'd rather pay for what I'm watching:

$8 - Discovery

$8 - Disney (with ESPN+/Hulu Bundle)

$12 - Hulu (minus Disney subsidy) 

$15 - HBO

$15 - Netflix

$8 - Paramount

Amazon (not counting since it's part of the life style lol)

Total:  $66

But I don't have to watch many ads at all.  I also have a TV antenna for my live sports needs. I pay spectrum the $76 or whatever it is.  Ouch town, but it's the best option for us right now.

So that puts me at $142.  I can't recall the exact prices off hand, but that's pretty close I think.

How much would it cost for Cable, a DVR, multiroom service + HBO?  Over $200.  Personally, I'm super happy with my various streaming packages!  They generally work, and they also we get to watch what we want to watch on our own schedule.  Even if we had cable, we'd still want to have Netflix and Disney + for their original programming.

Say what you will, I love my HBO, and I will keep paying for it.  2-3 movies a month (as a family), several series I watch...  It's easier than trying to find decent quality torrents.

With Hulu (not live, just commercial free), I LOVE the library of on demand titles.  So long as hulu has that, we'll keep paying for it.  Being able to watch shows a day or two after they air is also super cool.

HULU is raising their prices in October.

https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/hulu-price-increase-streaming-plans-1235057717/ 

On Tuesday, Hulu began notifying subscribers that as of Oct. 8, the price of Hulu’s two on-demand plans — with ads and without commercials — will increase by $1 for both current and new subscribers. Hulu with ads will increase from $5.99 to $6.99 per month and Hulu (No Ads) will increase from $11.99 to $12.99.

Hulu+Live is raising their price by $5/month.

In this case, I'm okay with the price increase as they're adding additional value to those subscribers by including Disney+ and ESPN+ on the subscription (whether you want those services or not)

It's certainly better than a price increase for the sake of price increases, without anything better being provided to the consumer

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
