    Seem like they have been dabbling. Ironically they already have the content delivery platform called game pass. They live stream preseason games and local market games through the nfl app already. 
     

    I suspect they just don’t have the balls to say buhbye to that $1.5B dollar annual check in the hopes that could make kind of loot on their own. 

    1.5 Billion...this number could probably reach 2-3 billion in income if they managed it. They could literally hire a high rise building of smart people to manage that. Incredibly lazy.

     

    Its another reason the Goodell era has been overrated. 

  2. The NFL could have made more money selling the rights ad hoc at a set price, non-exclusive to anyone that wanted to pay to air, the notion of keeping up with joneses could have made it a must. They could have banked by streaming services, then selling to other platforms. 

     

    Cant tell me the exclusive rights money to a lone contract exclusive deal was higher than a model that could have given everyone acesss , at a nice price. Greed and arrogance. It was also a huge reach in the stability of DTV, whose reputation, rates, and price point disenfranchised consumers. This was a mistake. I think the exclusive money was simply a big figure they could not refuse with the least possible thought. The notion out of market games could be available to others was kinda of a new fringe concept. NFL did not have the foresight to see the future of cable. Perhaps they saw it as bonus cherry not requiring much thought in addition to all the other big TV deals.

     

    I do think the future of the NFL is in its own network...

    Absolutely and I believe Allen checked off to runs that worked well in the 2nd half on both TD drives.

     

    The offense played very well in the 2nd half.  If Gabe hangs onto that pass the Bills would have scored TD's on 3 of their 4 second half possessions.

     

     

     

    I thought Allen had 2 bad plays; the INT, which seemed like a Diggs mistake, and the out of bounds throw away where he tapped out. I thought on 2 or so plays he was too quick to ditch the pocket.

     

    Ultimately, although maybe the weather let up, this was not a throwing game. Thought the kid played good, and was one of the drivers to victory.

    We'll take the win, but man......this team is in desperate need of a dominant 1-tech DT.  That 1 piece alone would make the entire defense better.

     

    Beane has a couple days to make it happen.  Really hope he is able to find a beast up front. 

     

    This team has been many players away before. Ill take needing a couple dudes on D.
