So no tv timeouts? That’s the best part of itOh noes!Game Sat night is only available if you subscribe to Peacock? Wow! And I hear NFL doing same for one wildcard playoff game!
4th quarter will be commercial free apparently. Because everyone wants to get the chargers season over with as quickly as possible.
I heard the timeouts will be there as usual, just that ads won't be played during those timeouts.So no tv timeouts? That’s the best part of itOh noes!Game Sat night is only available if you subscribe to Peacock? Wow! And I hear NFL doing same for one wildcard playoff game!

Is it just me, or have the majority of these Peacock/Amazon games been lesser than average matchups? It's like "you want a piece of the NFL pie you take this and like it".
That is how the NFL games are shown in England.I heard the timeouts will be there as usual, just that ads won't be played during those timeouts.So no tv timeouts?

I won't either. Who other than Bills fans will want to watch this game? Don't care if I miss a wild card game either. I will not give another penny to that piece of crap GoodellI do not subscribe to Peacock,I will not subscribe to it to get this game.
The NFL can go s#!t in their hat
And the NFL has the stipulation that such games must be offered to a local station of the 2 teams playing.I won't either. Who other than Bills fans will want to watch this game?

Good for my cousin in Buffalo and my wife's cousin in L.A.And the NFL has the stipulation that such games must be offered to a local station of the 2 teams playing.I won't either.

I also told them to pound sand.You guys realize you need to subscribe to PRIME to watch all the Thu games too, right?
Where's the outrage there?
OK BTW I agree 100% with the sentiment of this thread. It's BS having to subscribe to all these different services to watch national games. F that.I also told them to pound sand.You guys realize you need to subscribe to PRIME to watch all the Thu games too, right?
Where's the outrage there?
Yes it has been discussed here in the past.I also told them to pound sand.You guys realize you need to subscribe to PRIME to watch all the Thu games too, right?
Where's the outrage there?
To be fair this was an absolute banger of a matchup before the season started.Is it just me, or have the majority of these Peacock/Amazon games been lesser than average matchups? It's like "you want a piece of the NFL pie you take this and like it".
I dunno, times are a-changin. People just have to get used to it or not see the games I guess. I have peacock, never use it but think we got some good deal on it. If it was a game I wanted to see bad enough the 5 or 6 dollars wouldn’t deter me.What’s with the outrage over peacock showing this game? I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure this was known a long time ago.
It's The NFL that's damn lucky because we the mice keep following The Pied Piper wherever he takes usWe’re damn lucky we don’t have to subscribe to catch more games, especially SNF/MNF/TNF/playoffs/etc. I’m going to sign up for Peacock, watch tonight & the WC game, get reimbursed via an AMEX offer, then cancel.
Big deal.

Well first of all, I already have Prime. And the reason I have it is because we get lots of other non-football, non-streaming benefits. And even in football terms, you get a season’s worth of games. With Peacock, you have to subscribe just to watch one or two games. It’s an infinitely worse deal.You guys realize you need to subscribe to PRIME to watch all the Thu games too, right?

Um, how could they possibly have announced that yet?Yes there will a wildcard playoff game exclusively on Peacock,hasn't been announced yet which on it will be
Fantasy playoffs and gamblingWho other than Bills fans will want to watch this game? Don't care if I miss a wild card game
Because each game is numbered and the seeds that are playing are slotted into those games.Um, how could they possibly have announced that yet?Yes there will a wildcard playoff game exclusively on Peacock,hasn't been announced yet which on it will be
Are you sure? My understanding is that they choose the games once that matchups are known. For example, I would bet any amount of money that you will never see Cowboys or Chiefs on the Peacock game, regardless of what “slot” they’re in. It will be something like Jags-Browns or Texans-Bengals.Because each game is numbered and the seeds that are playing are slotted into those games.Um, how could they possibly have announced that yet?Yes there will a wildcard playoff game exclusively on Peacock,hasn't been announced yet which on it will be
Of course they don't know the teams that are playing,but they know which seeds are matched up and which game they are playing in
Oh, THEY know. You know they know. Roger Goodell knows. Bill Gates knows. Jeffrey Epstein knows. Wake up, buddy.Of course they don't know the teams that are playing
I want this business model to fail more than I want to watch one game. It's not 5 dollars it's the support of these subscription traps that deters me.I dunno, times are a-changin.

Even before there were streaming exclusives, there was a reason the crappiest matchup always ended up being played on Saturday at 4:30
How is it a trap? Either you get value out of it and you keep it or you don't. I subscribe to many services I use and if peacock were another I’d pay the going rate for it.I want this business model to fail more than I want to watch one game.

Not sure what we’re arguing about. Of course the seedings are known. But there’s no way anyone at the league office or at Peacock knows which game they’ll get, not even in terms of whether it will be the AFC 3-6 game or the NFC 4-5. Nothing’s been decided, so of course they haven’t announced anything yet. That was my pointBut the playoff seedings are known.Are you sure?

#1 gets a bye
#2 plays #7
#3 plays #6
#4 plays #5
Sure they'll put the better matchups in a more prime viewing period once the teams are slotted into the seed numbers.
My friend who’s a Bills fan said that to me earlier today. He views it as a $6 transaction to watch the Bills. In those terms, it’s not such a big deal. My family spent $4 the other night to watch “Babe” (awesome movie, BTW)How is it a trap? Either you get value out of it and you keep it or you don't.

On its face, 5 dollars for an nfl game seems crazy because we are used to getting them for free (kinda, you’re still paying, we are just all accustomed to the cable model) but we’ll go see a 90 minute movie and pay 30 bucks for it. I guess I just don’t really see the difference.
Many of us prefer the a la carte style of streaming services to cable.I want this business model to fail more than I want to watch one game.

According to NFL.com Peacock will get a wildcard game on Saturday January 13 at 4:30pm.Not sure what we’re arguing about. Of course the seedings are known.

Yea we paid 25 the other day to watch killers of the flower moon from our living room (also an awesome movie). I don’t think people understand how convenient some things are for now.My friend who’s a Bills fan said that to me earlier today. He views it as a $6 transaction to watch the Bills.

I remember when the NFL used to do things like black out home games if they weren't sold out, so I guess this is fair at least to fans of the 2 teams playing.the NFL has the stipulation that such games must be offered to a local station of the 2 teams playing.
