Know anyone in college? $100 for DirecTV for students. I'm in year 5 of 9 straight years having kids in college.

You can get Sunday Ticket for free every year if you're a current DTV subscriber.  Just call them and ask. 

On that note, I just moved to Texas and have the DTV page open in another tab, getting ready to pull the trigger on installation.  I have never had much luck with random streaming sites in the past, and I prefer to watch the games on my TV versus a phone or laptop.

Been in this boat for over a decade now. It sucks but I just go to bars every week unless we're on tv locally here in Boston (got both Bucs games cuz of Brady last year...). I don't like streaming and certainly don't like messing around with sh*tty illegal streams. Thought about looking into a VPN or location changing thing to get a legit stream that is reliable and works but just haven't put the effort into that. Hopefully next year DirecTV loses their monopoly on non-local NFL games and I can get all the Panthers games on Comcast, like I get the Canes and Hornets games. But for now still just stuck going to bars, the unfortunate reality.

The NFL needs to invest in being able to just subscribe to individual teams game packages.  I would be all for paying 100 bucks or something just to be able to watch all the Panthers games outside of NC.

Netflix (and possibly other streamers eventually) is starting to purposefully block access to users who utilize known VPN IPs to cut down on the geofencing workarounds.

A couple of years ago,  Directv and my local Fox channel had a pissing match going and I couldn't see my local channel.  So I went to my computer, pulled up Fox Sports, and hooked my computer to the TV and watched about 8 weeks of games that way. When they were on CBS or ABC, I'd watch the local channels again.

Locast and vpn will do it.

The thing I don't like about locast is that if you don't pay for it, you have to re-sign in every X minutes to maintain the connection.  On the other hand, it's a (reasonable, free, and supposedly legal) solution to live-watch something when the cable company/local station has a dispute.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
