    I doubt that, I think the Super Bowl going to PPV would dramatically reduce viewership and take away some of the “cultural event” aspect that adds value to the NFL’s brand. Not to mention piracy would shoot up if that were to happen.

     

    You're right, I expect, but never underestimate the ability of people to make terrible decisions in the name of greed

    There are no stations on YTTV... its strange at first, but it KNOWS what you want to watch. Kinda scary. Either way, I got the sunday ticket for like 99 bucks... every game, no matter what. 

    In this case, you'd have to find the TV map for the game, figure out a zip code that has the game being showed, and feed your VPN that location and then tell YTTV that's where you are. Should work. 

     

    This is the way.  Can someone tell me where this will be on locally?  I use PIA as a VPN and can pop out in a bunch of places

     

    Also, agreed on YTTV, at first i found it annoying, you have to dig to get the traditional cable grid, but reality is it knows that I watch CBS local news in the AM, and has that teed up, and that I watch college football on saturdays, and has that teed up, then NFL on Sunday.

     

    also, i was just looking at Peacock's site as a plan B.  wowza they have some crap programming.  I mean like seriously.  I think Cocaine Bear is the best movie on there, and that was laughably terrible.  I guess there's some sitcoms and things but that doesnt feel like something that should cost money, we watched that garbage because it was on TV not because it was compelling.  Anyway, i vote for them to be amongst the first of the services to get swallowed up by one of the others so people can continue watching such classics as LOVE ISLAND GAMES and THE GENTLE ART OF SWEDISH DEATH CLEANING

    Back in the late 1980s when I first moved to Albany, Bills games would be on in Utica, but not Albany.  I had a 5" battery TV & would drive west on Rt 20 until I was able to get the game in.  I'd sit in my car & watch the game at a rest stop. One time the Bills were in Seattle for a 4PM game.  I didn't like the idea of being alone in a dark rest area on Rt 20, so I drove 2/3 of the way to Utica, parked in a Thruway rest stop & watched the game in the parking lot.  I was even able to go inside & get dinner at halftime. By the following season, I found the sports bars in Albany & never drove part way to Utica again. 

     

    Lol.  i was at SUNYA then, and would go to the big OTB sports bar on central ave.  I moved to Rotterdam in 1995 and got DTV and the rest was history

    It's 2023 OP! Get with it. If you can't figure out how to watch a game (any game) this day in age...

    Have you tried the CTV app? Canadian broadcaster carries every Bills game. Just go to their free website, voila. Or just use Dazone. Free.

    I'm glad Peacock has this game. It's worth a lot of $$ to the NFL and our teams. That way, we get a new awesome player next year. Thanks Peacock!! Without you - no NFL.

     

    lol wont somebody please think of those struggling darfur war orphans that run the NFL?

    @Simon might finally agree on him having a decent game and coming into value later in the game. the one play he teed up the sack on Dak you saw it coming.

     

    long overdue for him. buit that's when our defense starts to flourish - when we are up and can be aggressive. i'm amazed there were no INT's. we had 3 back to back surefire INT's dropped.

     

    yeah we're really beating the odds on those dropped INTs

     

    Agreed on your point about our ability to be aggressive, ears pinned back every plan.  For all of Phillips' faults, this is the exact style of D in which he excels and can really be a game wrecker, in the same way that Dawkins is when he is on like he was against the cowboys

    "Does Peacock come free with Amazon Prime?

     

    Peacock is not free with Amazon Prime. Not only that, but you cannot stream Peacock through Prime like you can with Max, AMC+ and many other streaming services."

     

    https://www.themanual.com/culture/peacock-tv-free-trial/#:~:text=Get Peacock-,Is Peacock free with Amazon Prime%3F,and many other streaming services.

     

    just absolutely lol.  So now you're expecting people who maybe finally figured out how to get the Sunday Ticket on YTTV to add another streaming service, probably having to download an app, set up a username/password.  JHC I bet the pirate streams do 10x what peacock does this weekend,  I mean if you're going to go to the trouble it's easier to click on a link in reddit, or even crack a firestick, which is just a few steps.

    This is “ Working Capitalism “

    The NFL wields the power to be allowed to continue their monopoly…..

    The politicians get taken care of and they pander to those with the fat wallets while they’ll the rest of us what we want to hear….. so long as the money keeps flowing 

     

     

    dude, stop

     

    Monopoly != Capitalism

     

    Allowing a monopoly is government distorting the market, which is the opposite of Capitalism, where a free market is assured

     

    You're describing Crony Capitalism, into which both American political parties are heavily invested.  Using the power of Government to pick winners and losers is exactly what state controlled/centrally planned economies do.  That is not Capitalism

    As upset as you are, if anyone is to blame it's us. We complained about cable prices, so everyone went to streaming. Now thats where we are headed. Cable TV will be a thing of the past in the next 10 years 

     

    I'll offer a contrarian opinion here.  There will be consolidation in the streaming services, and some entities bundling various streaming services together with some other service.  Verizon is doing it now with netflix and max (I think?) that they will give you for $10 if you are a customer of VZW.

     

    Most of these services do not have a viable business model and eventually investors are going to expect a return.  At that point the clown car empties out and maybe we'll be left with disney, netflix, max, and from there, i bet we'll see additional consolidation and/or reduction in amount of content generation, which in turn drives people away from those services. 

     

    Cable, or a cable like service, priced right, is going to have a lot of appeal to the casuals out there.  I know Charter/Spectrum was developing an offer that would allow their customers access to netflix content, not sure where that is at today as I'm not a customer, but I could see that happening at scale.  The cable companies, unlike the streaming services, are absolutely cash machines, and may be around to pick up the pieces.

    I own a Bills Backer bar.

     

    That's not the point.

     

    Yeah im with you on this. It's getting ridiculous.  The entire streaming landscape has become so fragmented that I'm actually watching far less TV than I used to.  Now it's mostly stuff on youtube like documentaries and cooking stuff, and there's some amazing sports guys on there too like thatsgoodsports.  I actually pay for youtube premium to avoid the commercials, and i've dropped a bunch of other services like disney+, paramount, and Max. the other dynamic with all this is that when these services were emerging there was a ton of money sloshing around, and they made some decent content.  Try to watch one of the new netflix movies or shows, they are terrible.  I mean strait up garbage.  Netflix is next on my hitlist because it's like $22 a month.  Again, not a matter of money, more that the NFL is going to keep spreading the games around until we need to do this dance every damn week to watch the games

     

    I'd absolutely not recommend the myriad of ways that you can watch this without peacock getting any money, that would make you no better than them :)

    Week 15 Buy, Sell, Hold

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Buy - team chemistry.  Have they turned a corner and are all pulling in the same direction?  winning  a late game against a hard opponent could be a leading indicator

    Sell - Kincaid. Dont get me wrong, I think he's great, but it feels like Allen's default is to look for knox in difficult situations.  We may just see more 12 sets where Knox can help against the Dallas pass rush

    Hold - Miller.  I did feel like he flashed a little at the end of the game.  this might be a good time for him to turn it up!

    Again....who of the guys that are scratched deserve a jersey more?  If you are going to take him out, you have to dress someone you think is better.  So, is that Alec Anderson or Germain Idedi?

     

    Maybe?  We're faced with 1 of 2 possiblities.

     

    1. Von is washed. 

    2. Von is still injured

     

    In either case he doesnt belong on the field.

    there’s no way he’s “one of the best players on gameday”.  If our coaching staff thinks that, they’re kidding themselves.

     

    No, this is just more 12th dimensional chess. you wait until they unleash the real Von, he'll manhandle the opposition, beat whomever is in front of him, always one step ahead of his pursuers

    Who of the guys that are scratched every week are better and should justify being one of the 48 dressed?  Alec Anderson, Germain Ifedi, Poona Ford, A.J. Klein?  I mean, you are talking about the very bottom of the roster.  Now, if you are not talking about scratching him, but rather just have him sit the bench so someone else can rush, I'll listen to that.  But to say he's one of the worst players on the team and doesn't deserve a jersey?  That's a little much.

     

    lmfao, have you watched him?  did you see him take out one of the other Bills rushers against Philly?  literally got turned in the wrong direction and kept going
