    Just use the same password for all of them. Boom. Done. 
     

    Is it really that difficult for you?  Most people have multiple email accounts, bank accounts, music accounts, ticketing accounts, insurance accounts….it’s the way things are done now. 
     

    It’s a hell of a lot easier and cheaper to sign up for one month of a streaming service than to go to a game in person. 
     

    Whining about it isn’t very Mafia-like. 🤣🤣


    Don’t give me the whining stuff.  My time and user experience is material. The more friction and complexity they add the more annoying. 

     

    Give me a one stop shop and take my money! I’d pay 2x ST just to have one product to watch all games.

     

    And use the same password everywhere? brilliant idea 😂

    That’s kind of the point. It might be a slight annoyance but you aren’t going to say “I won’t watch that game because of it.” 

    That’s like $140 a month. The $6 piece is the hill I can’t fathom dying on. If you had to buy the game on PPV for like $50, I’d still think that 98% of this place would. It would be annoying but it is what it is. At $6, I’m not seeing the reason for resistance. Just get your wallet and enjoy old wrestling PPVs

    Again it’s not the money- it’s the fourteen ***** different streaming services to watch a season.

    If he Bills were playing, and that was my only option, I’d subscribe to all of them. If it was 10, and it was $600, so be it. Do I want that? Of course not, but the Bills come first. At $6, I question the “love” of those unwilling.

     

    Also, I have YTTV and have NFL Network. 

    It is $6!!!! If it were a lot, I’d understand potentially. It is $.20 a day. If that’s a hill people want to die on, I question their commitment.


    it’s not though, it’s $100 for prime, $80 a month for YouTube tv, with local, NFLN and espn, then $400 for Sunday ticket…. And after buying ALL of that anther $6 on yet another app?? It’s obnoxious

    I have watched every game for decades. Literally.

     

    Even gotten free trials of fubo, downloaded apps, got up at absurd times to see London games, etc.

     

    But this game isn't on LOCAL ROCHESTER MARKET because piddly little peacock is trying a money grab. 

     

    All the other "exclusives" had free trials, were simulcast on a real network, or even in the case of prime- everyone already has it. But peacock, tiny little bullschitt peacock with nothing worthwhile to offer? The NFL not only isn't afraid, they actively don't like us.

     

    So I can't. I just can't. Sure, I could afford the subscription; but I can't positively reinforce negative behavior by the NFL trying yet another way into fans' pockets. 

     

    They will take our tax money to build the brand new stadium for a billionaire, but we can't even watch the effing game. Pathetic.

    Is it irritating- yes…. Is it only $6 ….. also yes. I’m going to grudgingly pay and then cancel

    Peacock costs me like $6 a month. If you’re not willing to pay that, I have no sympathy. You aren’t that committed. I pay over 100x that for every single home game and never complain. I CHOOSE to do that because I love the Bills. If you elect to not pay the $6 on principle, that’s your choice, but don’t come here looking for people to feel sorry for you.


    I understand the objection…

     

    you need Sunday ticket for the out of market games, then Amazon prime for some Thursday games, then nfl network for some Sunday games and ESPN for the Monday games then Hulu cable or YouTube for the locally televised games and now peacock too? 
     

    Just centralize it already

    Who is the Tallest & Fastest WR in the World, Historically and Present?

    Harold Carmichael was 6’8” but he ran a 4.6   , however he had great hands and could separate. 

     

    Plaxico Burress was 6’5” and ran a 4.59. 

    Calvin Johnson was 6’5” and ran a  4.35  . 

    Randy Moss was  6’4” and ran a 4.3ish 

    DK Metcalf  was  6’4” and ran a 4.33 

     

    I can’t think of any other tall AND fast WRs .  Can you help me list all 6’4” or taller WRs that also ran at least a 4.4 or faster. 

     

    As of now, this metric appears perfect in determining success. If you are 6’4”+ and run fast, just draft them with confidence. 

     

     

    After you help me list all the NFL players, can you help find me some of the tallest and fastest people that don’t play football. 

     

    Usain Bolt is  6’5” and can run a 4.22  (Super Bowl, retired and in street clothes) .   Imagine if he could have trained to be a football player. 

     

     

    I wonder if it’s possible to be much taller than 6’5” and being able to run a 4.4 or faster.  

     

     

    THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE INPUT!

    It appears that the 4.4 is a good approx line so far. 2 meh/bad   4 good/elite

     

     


    I would never consider putting Keyshawn Johnson in the same Category as Moss or Calvin Johnson. Those two guys were almost always the best player on the field. 

    Also if we are calling 4.5 fast, seems like 6’3” can be tall.

     

    TO agrees 

     

    Can James Cook break a tackle, ever?!?!

    He reminds me of a slightly slower CJ2K. It is his vision and his feet I think. 

    That’s exactly the comp I see. Same acceleration and vision, just not quite the same top gear and a little lighter. 
     

    his vision might even be better, you can see the game has slowed down for him

    Guys, I had the game on local tv yesterday, but was so distracted with other things going on.

     

    I'd LOVE to rewatch.

     

    I have a smart TV.  I don't have NFL network, etc.

     

    Is there a way I can rewatch without subscribing to something and paying loot?  Any help would be great!


    free YouTubetv trial then cancel. 

    Taylor Rapp=Leonard Smith?

    46 Leonard Smith is one of my all time favorite Bills. 
     

    Taylor Rapp is late to plays and takes personal fouls when QBs are sliding.  Stupid and dirty.

     

    zero comparison.  Please don’t ever use Leonard Smith and Rapp in the same sentence 

    46 also had great haircuts

    Dak was 5 yards past the first down marker and could have easily went out of bounds, but he didn’t. He turned back inside as if to get more yards, then saw Rapp closing in and did a last second slide. Had he not slid, the tackle would have been on Daks legs. Rapp may be a madman, but he was absolutely doing the right thing on that play.  "Kill the QB" will ALWAYS be a defensive player's goal. Go look at the replay.


    maybe the timing in this case was close,  seems to be a pattern with him that he’s launching himself into the play with his head down.
