    I have a question.  I had DTV for like 20 years or more.  I had it because, obviously, I need to watch the Bills in Virginia.  I mistakenly got rid of the dish one year too early, and the only way I could go back is to sign a new 2 year agreement, which I'm not doing.  So, I found a college student, slipped him a $20 and got the streaming college discount and I'm good.  

     

    But I do have a pretty extensive mancave.  I have three TV's on the main wall in order to watch three games at once.  When I had the DTV dish working, I always watched the Bills through the Genie receiver.  No problems.  Then, the app for the smart TV on the left hand side of the room always had another game on.  No problems there.  Since I had no other receivers I always then had to watch the local game on the third TV.  I used to have 4 receivers but I started to stream and started to cut down on the DTV bill, so I was stuck to this method.  You couldn't log in to a second location through the app.  It would kick you out of the other app.  

     

    My question is this.  Does anyone know if the Streaming Version (College Student Version) will let me log in to more than one location at a time to watch multiple games at once?  Or, will I have to find another college student, and thus pay another $119, for each TV that I want to have unlimited access to all games?

     

    I think this makes sense.


    No you can only watch on one device and it will kick you out of the other. I have used the ticket U for the last 3 years.

    Bring him in for a cheap contract with no guarantees. 

     

    If he doesn't work out cut him immediately. 

     

    It's a no lose signing

    If he’s on the roster day 1 as a veteran his contract for the year is guaranteed.

    You made the assumption that I said I questioned how did he win the MVP if he was one in done. The mere fact that I had to explain what I meant shows in that instance you and a few other were dense. Im not stupid. I didn't need be explained what criteria goes into voting for MVP so you did to me what you are trying to imply that I am doing to you. Crazy. You acting like Im saying that if someone like Derrick Henry won MVP that if the Titans went one and done I would look at Henry bad and that's not the case cause he is a running back. QB is just a little different.

     

    So if wins and loss are on the team then why are QB win totals always mentioned when discussing QB's How many times have you heard Brady is 30-3 vs the BILLS. Rarely is it the Patriots are 30-3 vs the Bills. Its the same with Mahomes and for that matter Lamar. Yes in the totality WINS ARE TEAM stats (again I didn't need you to tell me that) BUT the QB is the by FAR the biggest contributor of wins and losses. Take Josh Allen off of the BILLS and tell me how many wins we would have had in 2020. Also remember you do have to use some context as well. There is a big difference where the QB is a big part of the offense vs the QB who is just a game manager type who is supported by a great defense. So all situations are not created equal.

     

    So being good enough to be considered the best player in the league and especially at QB position and playing poorly and being one and done AND you are a big reason why your team didn't win game isn't a bad thing. Give me a break. Imagine Josh Allen coming off the season that he did just to turn around and play like garbage against the COLTS AND the BILLS lost are you trying to tell me at that point though Josh Allen had a great regular season that some people wouldn't look at that as a failure and question if he can get it done.

     

    ***** Allen had a MVP type season played great against the COLTS AND made it to the AFC Championship game and if you go on twitter people still question about if he is the guy or he saying he only had one good year. Look at how people was talking about Lamar in the post season until he got the win this year. That buys him time not to always hear how he can't win a playoff game. Using your augment why would it matter if Lamar could win a playoff game if win and loses are team stats. You act like I said he  won MVP he should have made it to the Super Bowl. Come on my guy.

     

    Name me a sport where if the best player in league gets knocked out in the 1st round AND plays poorly some people would not look at that in a favorable manner. Lamar gets all the credit when the Ravens win buy when they lose its ' Well wins/losses are team stats' Which one is it. 

     

    Let me ask you a question. How many great years has Lamar had since he has come into the league. I have a point to prove so I'll wait for your response. Before you put words in my mouth I think Lamar is a great talent but when I hear people use a couple of stats to make there point that Lamar is better with no context that's where you lose me.

    MVP is a season long award that does not take playoffs into account. (Or that was what I understood)

  4. If you know or have a college student you can get SundayTicket U for around $120 a year. I started  this several years ago and switched to a much cheaper cable package. 
     

    It’s a streaming package, you have to watch it on the mobile app, but there’s an app on appleTV and other devices to watch it easily on my TV without tying up my phone. 

     

    My last daughter is a junior, so I have a few more years. Hopefully there will be better options by then. But said that years ago. I had the SundayTicket for over 15 years starting with year one. I just got tired of fighting with them.

    Random Q for anyone that is a paying DTVST streaming customer. I am going to need to watch on my laptop this weekend (out of USA, need to VPN in). Do the games just show up on nflsundayticket.tv the day of? when I'm home my app of choice will already hav the games up. Is there another URL you need to hit in order to see the roster of games? 

     

    thanks


    you used to just go to DIRECTV website and there would be a link from the main page. Just had to log in first. 

  5. If you only wanted to take the Confrence champions the teams would have to only play games within their Confrence. But if that happened it would be difficult to rate teams and Confrence's since there would be no games to use for comparison.

     

    If you take just the champions, you are ignoring roughly 25% of the schedule. Even the NFL doesn't simply ignore non Confrence games.

  6. It wouldn't make sense to fire everyone during the season there is only so much you can do. The offense has stunk both games.

     

    I never liked romans style. We have playmakers we rarely use. I watch other teams move down the field. In Buffalo I'm just hoping we can get a 1st down.

     

    But I agree the whole thing is pitiful and am glad they are trying to do something. Even if it has low odds of payoff this season.

  7. See I disagree. If a coach gets the right people he can do well with him. I was 100% against the Marv Levy hiring, he had done nothing as a coach and had even tried the 3 running backs in the backfield while in KC. I mean this is what we did in peewee football.

     

    However he then took them to 4 Superbowls. Many people will say he was outcoached and that's why we lost, but that's another topic.

     

    While we have Rex, hate him or like him, I will root for him to turn this around. It's quicker than a rebuild

  8.  

    That's not evidence. The CBA for example, guarantees the right for a 2nd opinion from a doctor of the player's choice paid for by the team. The only requirement is they see the team physician first. They also have the right to not see the team doctor and pay a doctor of their choice for medical treatment with the only requirement being the team is provided a copy of medical reports.

     

    If this was such a concern for the player, why didn't he bring this up in the media at the time? He says he knew he was getting bad advice, but he took no action?

     

    Like I always say, the NFL should give the players a dose of what they say they want. Have players be done after 1 concussion. After all, it's so risky to their long term health. Give them automatic second opinions from NFLPA doctors paid for by the NFLPA and if either doctors says they should sit then they sit with no exceptions. Let them take whatever drugs they want.

     

    It's shocking how these concerns always become concerns after the fact. Usually, when the money is getting tight.

    I really liked this at 1st, put it on the NFLPA then there could be no excuses.

     

    Then I started to wonder when close to CBA time if anyone these players would be held out as bargaining chips. Guess I don't trust either side.

  9.  

    please. Kaepernick is not the first to sit down for the national anthem since then. that he's the latest is notable in this time when race is relevant. that other athletes have supported CK with his stance should not be ignored. perhaps, others should follow.

     

    jw

    Others will follow, it's just a matter of time before people stand with him. Depending on how it is perceived it could become a huge issue with half the players sitting in protest. Maybe this is a good thing, who am I to say. I have my opinion and he wouldn't like it.

     

    Having said that the NFL decided it would play the national anthem, so what will they do if a large portion of the players chooses not to stand?

     

    Speaking of the NFL it is not innocent in the racism department. At least not 100%, although much of it is old there is still racism in the NFL. Maybe this is where he should take his stand and choose not to play?

     

    I saw the picture of his car, is not standing his only way of helping to resolve this issue or is he more involved? I honestly don't know. Seems like other actions he is doing would be included if this stand is so important to him. And no a few social media posts do not count as helping the situation, what else is he doing? Once we know, then we can determine if he is being genuine or not.

  10. After last year I am sure the Bills considered any potential injury situation and STILL did not want him. The Bills knew he wouldn't count for the first four games and STILL did not want him.

     

    You may think they are dumb and made a bad move, but I think it speaks volumes about how they viewed Karlos. They had way more input than we did. They did not want him around, simple.

  11. I'm actually hoping we bring in an ILB from the last group of cuts that can cover a WR or RB in the middle of the field.

     

    But I guess that makes no sense now and is not worth the effort if it will take them 2 years to learn the system. So why even try.

     

    In all seriousness, I do think they will pick up someone closer to the start of the season that is currently not available. This could be a rookie, young LB or a $$ fiendly vet.

  12. Without a doubt the talent on the team is better than most of the last 16 years. Last season it may have been a bit better, at least going in.

     

    While we all think Rex fails if we do not make the playoffs, I think most of the respected media around the NFL does not have us as a consensus playoff team.

     

    We can argue that as fans we know the team better and I would agree, but they seem to be right more than wrong when they look at the NFL and the other teams.

     

    I personally think this team should and will make the playoffs. I agree with most, what to do with Rex should be based on what we do as a team, and what happened to get us there. I liked the Rex hire, but was disappointed last year. I am hoping and expect he will make things better this year. However I would not be surprised either way. However unless we fall apart, I may be in the same place going into next year.
