Blech. Comcast has nabbed an "exclusive" playoff game broadcast

For the first time, a streaming service (PEACOCK) has been awarded a playoff game broadcast.  (before, playoff games would be on one of the major networks)

Like all NFL games on cable, Peacock’s playoff game will be available to watch over-the-air in the participating teams’ home markets, and most likely on an NBC affiliate. The game will also be available to watch on the NFL+ app.

No word yet if this would be included as a Sunday Ticket event or not.  Also, no word if this would require the paid version of Peacock or if it would be accessible to all Peacock users since NBC sells commercial time to help subsidize the darn thing. If it's the former, that sucks. If it's the latter, then they better get their app working better than it does now.  And they better have the infrastructure to handle it -- remember all those times Amazon would crash due to high demand, or HBOMax during the Game of Thrones airings?

Panthers-related:  the only other time a playoff game was not broadcast (or simulcast) on a network was when ESPN carried the 2015 ARI-CAR wild card game (it was not aired on ABC, as would be typical for an ESPN production).

That game probably did air on WSOC locally, so local fans probably didn't notice.

The NFL got so big because everyone with a TV could tune in on Sun and a game was on. The more they take games off over air tv the less people will care. 

I stopped with the NBA years ago because they moved to cable with there games now I care about the NBA 0%. Have not seen MNF or TNF in over 2years and it gets easier and easier to miss.

Less people watch this game and they can't sell advertising if no one is watching, hope they don't forget what made the NFL great.

      Don’t get me wrong, I love Koochie. I think he could be a star. But I’m not convinced Rod trusts him. And I realize my post was confusing. I meant based on the reports of swapping Necas for Ullmark or another goalie. If we’re going to trade for a goalie I would rather use draft picks instead of lowering the value of Necas.

      You can make a decent case that most of the starters are at-least average. But depth-wise, its awful, maybe the worst in the NFL.  The only reason they could be a playoff team, is the awful NFC south and its collection of bad QBs and coaching staffs. That changed big time when cousins and Morris arrived to ATL. Now it would take a setback to cousins, in which he currently ready to play given all the stem cells and peptides stuff he has.  In past years there was always some elite talent leftd on the 7 win rosters. Like many know theres just dbrown and a huge ? in horn. If hunt was elite, phins would have tagged him. There's no Thomas Davis, Luke, Cam, Olsen, peppers, kalil, beason, gross, Jenkins, Smitty etc on the team. Brown is great and all, but sacks and pressure wise, he's not game changing. Panthers lack difference makers, young ones. You could make a weak case for clowney, but that ravens D is stacked.  Us fans just need to hope Dan Morgan can collect more young difference maker in the next 2-3 years. If Bryce isn't that guy, 4 years before this team can sniff the playoffs.  Honestly the panthers are due some luck as well.

      The fact that Smitty TD and all of our other black players love JR, it was probably another made up cancel culture BS to go along with the times.
