At this point I really don't know why the NFL doesn't just open their own streaming service.

Even if it doesn't include live games (they'll still want that network TV money, for sure) shows like Inside the NFL, NFL Top-10, A Football Life, America's Game, and a huge library of classic NFL Films content would be well worth a $5-$8 per month subscription to many fans.

I'd LOVE to be able to go back and stream past drafts in full as they originally aired, or classic games in their original broadcast format.

But the Showtime version got too..... heavy? in its presentation.  Fans tune in to watch the game recaps and some analysis.

But it started to be 10m of opening banter, 5m for game of the week. Then 4 sets of 2m of highlights covering the rest of the games. And inserted inbrtween was (mostly useless) banter between the hosts often talking about newsy stuff. We were lucky if the Panthers made it in the first 45m of the show.

Yes, there are serious off-field topics to discuss.  But it got to the point where it was almost all off-field stuff. Made the concept of the show unwatchable.

They want to partner/license with someone for their massive content rather than present it themselves

They have the nfl network already, but want others to pay in.   And I'm okay with this.  Spread the love around

Just for House of Dragons and Succession alone its worth every dime, but I also get it for free 

Don't forget, ROKU is airing a lot of older/canceled HBO shows **for free, with commercials** starting soon (if not today).

Westworld, The Nevers (which turned super freaky on its premise later, oh my), and others.

Another thing I hated about the Paramount+ version of Inside the NFL:  no ability to go back and watch (or rewatch) previous episodes.  Maybe it was just me, but it seemed they pulled the previous episode(s) each week when a new one rolled out.

Plus their REW/FF interface is just clunky compared to other streaming services, so it was harder to zip through to watch the one Panthers comment they might have thrown in.

(And yet the ESPN+ sunday night NFL recap show with Berman has even WORSE streaming controls. Yeesh.  But at least ESPN gives the Panthers a reasonable amount of game recap. Usually)

This thread has a very get off my lawn vibe lol

Call me whatever, but when the show put Michael Irvin followed by Ray Lewis, it just got worse and worse........Then they added Brandon Marshall and I tapped out, even thought he had points at times, but the other side........ AT one point I thought brandon was going throw punches cause of a disagreement......i know his history, but if youre not ready to hear a counter point and youre ready to box cause youre froggy form working out, awful. 

 

The best part of the was listening in to players talking in-game and during highlights.. The phil simms arguing with Michael Irvin about jets WRs running the wrong routes, wasting my player-mic time.

Been off the DVR for years, god dam shame cause i do miss it.

It's basically pointless now with how many Youtube clips and podcasts there are in addition to instant breaking news from Twitter. The NFL Films access is really the only thing they have going for them

Inside the NFL wasnt about breaking news.

I think well produced quality content will always have a place even if on YouTube. Twitter is too full of hacks and not good at anything beyond headlines IMO

      According to ESPN stats, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 24th in the league in motion at the snap, only using it 14% of the time. The team does employ motion before the snap quite frequently, though, as it runs motion %43.7 of the time in general. When asked specifically about motion at the snap, Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales confirmed that it's in Tampa Bay's arsenal and that it can be a big help on offense. "It's a part of what we're doing," Canales said. "It allows us to stretch the defense horizontally. All you're trying to do is create a moment of indecision for the defense and then that helps the run game, helps the pass game. Switching the responsibilities to create free-access releases at the line, that's a big part of it." Tampa Bay's low percentage of using this type of play doesn't mean that it won't increase in the future, though. Canales said that while some teams are doing a great job at implementing it in their offense, others like the Bucs are catching up to speed. He mentioned that he first saw heavy usage of pre-snap motion when he was with the Seattle Seahawks and played the Los Angeles Rams twice a year. "[The Los Angeles Rams] really utilized that from the time Sean [McVay] had been there in LA. It's something that's been around for a while, and I think that the rest of us are learning how to utilize it."

      Division opponents thread: Bucs, Falcons Saints news

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      Yea Falcons should (and hopefully will) get slammed hard for this tampering business. But even without that, Kirk Cousins is solid but the team still isn’t good. Their O is super overhyped based on college production. The RB they got last year looks good but he’s no Barkley or CMC. Their young WR and TE are dookie no matter how much people wanna hype them based on their college days. (And by dookie I mean compared to expectations. They’re mid, objectively).
