If you're like me, then you can't get the games. There's a thread going on right now about PS3 and DirecTV, but if your smart (and broke), like me, there is no way you're going to give up $300+ to get in on the action; that is, if you're not already a customer.

So, what are your options?

Online streaming? How's the quality?

Sports bar where you're in the corner rooting by your lonesome? What do you drink? [side note: it's probably cheaper in the long run to subscribe to DirectTV's package]

Buddy's house? How's his wife when she tells you to turn the volume down?

Wait until we play an in-market team?

I'm not really all that computer and TV savvy, so I usually just go to the bar. What are the best options? I know there's a way to hook up your computer to the TV if you do online streaming, but I don't know where to begin as far as that goes.

Comments, suggestions, flaming?

I am in cali and buy Sunday Ticket every year and just haggle the price down to something I'm comfortable with. Before that, I did the sports bar thing, but the lady didn't like me drinking so early on the weekends, especially if I had to drive home, which was always a dumbf*ck idea on my part.

I do not condone illegal streaming, but if you wanted to watch your legal NFL streams from your computer onto your tv, just hookup a cable from an hdmi out on your laptop to an hdmi in on your tv. Or use a DVI to HDMI, or a VGA to rca cable/s-video if you only have analog outs/ins.

Not to mention that when it's raining hard I call and complain that I didn't get to watch it that Sunday and they cut the price in half.

Tell me more about this, please... Ive had SundayTicket going on 7yrs now and did not know about this. They cut 1 payment in 1/2, or the Ticket cost? The best offer I could get this year was $10 off my total bill per month for the next year, free HD ($10) for 3 or 6 months, and Showtime free for 3 months... Last year it was $10 off each of the 6 SunTicket payments and the iPod viewing free, although I never watched it from my iPod I couldve if I wanted to... i read somebody on here got the Ticket for $200 because the commercial doesnt say "new customers only"...

Another option is the NFL's Game Rewind. It's $40 for the year, the only bad thing is that you can't watch the game until Monday morning and it's pretty damn hard to avoid finding out the score on Sunday. It's too bad that the NFL does offer a live-streaming service - but only for overseas customers.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
