The Ravens aren't hyped up going into each season. They weren't in the Super Bowl contender discussion at the beginning of the season

The world where the media doesn't view the Bills as the loveable losers anymore. The Media loves winners. While the Bills are great in the regular season they never get there at the end. IMO the national media is tired of hyping the Bills when they can't finish the job.

I was talking about Bills games continuing to be free on TV

I do. I see them heading over to streaming eventually. They did generate huge revenue from advertisers. ABC was down in advertising revenue this past quarter.

This is really than when cable started to get big. All that's happening is home entertainment is changing

What I meant was dinner n a few years you won't be able to watch Bills games for free over the air. Meaning those who don't want to pay for it will lose out.

The Fox game of the week at 4 on Sunday is probably a good one.

I am cause I'm excited for it. Access to the majority of sports in one for one cost. The price doesn't bother me as I don't pay for any other subscriptions. We just use the free ones.

https://www.wsj.com/business/media/espn-fox-warner-bros-sports-streaming-service-f2bf96c9?mod=RSSMSN Wells Fargo analyst Steven Cahall projected, based on various assumptions, that the service could break even if around six million subscribers paid $40 a month. Other media insiders and analysts said the cost would likely have to be in the $50 range or higher. I can't see it being any cheaper than that unless they add in an ad tier.

In a few years you won't be able to watch Bills games.

This new on will start at $40 to $50 a month.

an analysis of this new sports platform this morning had two key tidbits: Without cbs and nbc…they don’t have a dominant position They will have to changed MINIMUM $45-$50 a month to start to break even Either you will have to pay $45-$50 a month or there will be an ad level that's half of the price. In the beginning of streaming, it was much cheaper than cable and you could watch what you want when you want.

You had to know this was going to happen. They have to replace that cable revenue from somewhere. I for one love they heading towards a more streaming based world. I haven't had cable or satellite in years. Streaming is much more convenient.

I can see starting the next NFL season some 4pm games that are fox only available on the streaming app. As well as some Monday Night football games. Got get people buying this to watch sports.

https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/espn-fox-warner-bros-discovery-streaming-sports-service/ By subscribing to this focused, all-in-one premier sports service, fans would have access to the linear sports networks including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNEWS, ABC, FOX, FS1, FS2, BTN, TNT, TBS, truTV, as well as ESPN+. Looks it's just the beginning of sports heading to streaming only. This is being launched in fall 2024, in time for the new NFL season

It's hard to take this thread seriously. The OP once thought Tyrod Taylor was going to be an MVP candidate

IMO due to the drought years, many are afraid to go back to that. Many are happy to be a playoff contender every season and have a shot on the Lombardi.

Broken record

Broken record

I agree. As I posted before, going back to last year, only 5 coaches of 35 winning head coaches have taken more than 5 seasons to win a title. History is going against him.

I already said Lamar shouldn't get it. I gave my reasons for why Stroud should. My question why do so many dismiss INTs so much? While TDs and Yards matter, so should turnovers. If anything an argument can be made for Love for MVP. He was 2nd in passing TDs with 32 and only had 11 INTs.

Allen has way too many INTs to be in the conversation. While Dak had good games, he still struggled against winning teams. The reasons I pick Stroud he carried a team to a division win that many thought would be a bottom 5 team. Add in him leading in TD to INT ratio, only throwing an INT on 1% of his passes.

I will give them a pass for the KC loss this season due to the injuries. I will add to my earlier post is that one thing McDermott has been terrible at and hasn't gotten better is half time adjustments.

I never said he should win. My point was a playoff game has no bearing on the MVP vote. IMO the only 2 that should be up for it are McCaffrey and Stroud.

Playoffs don't matter when it comes to MVP voting. It's for the regular season.
