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.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      Not totally inaccurate, haha Except that kid wasn't as excited as I was.  I was yelling louder, and more, and running around the room in circles until I almost passed out from exhausting and was trying to catch my breath for a good 10 minutes because I'm way too old to be doing that, LOLOL Oh, and I tweaked a muscle in my shoulder from all the fist pumping I was doing too. For as awesome as that pick was for me, it really screwed me up for a few days between my shoulder and lost voice (Wrexham securing back-to-back-to-back promotions Saturday afternoon contributed to that though too).

      Getting Pierce jr isn’t forfeiting the pick they just had 2 1sts this year.

      Full disclosure and the real reason.... I'll be seeing my Nephew in basically one month from today, and while I've gotten him stuff from my other teams the past year, I hadn't been willing to saddle him with Panthers stuff yet, that's now changed lol. So if the jersey would get to me before I see him, I'd get that and him his first Panthers onesie/shirt so I can get a picture of us together in them. If it wouldn't get to me by then, I'd just wait to get the one I prefer.  So yea, my rush is really just about trying to get a picture of myself in it with my Nephew in Panthers gear too.
