Watching the game out of market?

Good thing Igo doesn’t want this board shut down by people sharing how to circumvent the NFL copyright on their productiions.
 

That has happened to other discussion boards.

Or maybe the NFL shouldn’t have been beyond stupid with their direct tv deal.

I would gladly pay for a yearly service to watch the games, but I’m not going to get a terrible tv service just to have the ability to then pay more on top for the NFL package.

Same thing as last week too, ended up finding something that worked for the first 3 quarters and now can’t get anything to work in the 4th.

This isn’t like avoiding paying for PPV’s, it’s on the NFL for being stupid, in this day and age there should be a service for anyone to buy a season pass regardless of what TV provider you have.

Oh I know, and I can't wait for that, it's going to be glorious

I understand things like the UFC cracking down on illegal streams, that's a PPV that anyone can go out and pay for if they want to watch.

But the NFL is a different story, they screwed up and agreed to a bad deal years ago.  At this point, nobody is signing up for Direct TV solely for the NFL package, they already have it or they don't, so just let streamers stream so fans can watch their teams play if they live out of market.

I used to go to the bar every sunday, but once Covid hit that changed things and streaming had been fine the last few years, but this year it's just not working well, it sucks.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
