Sadly, this will never happen. Even though the NFL makes billions off ST, they'd rather have you watch the game broadcast OTA in your area and, due to pressure from network affiliates, for you to consume the local commercials. The NFL turns a blind eye toward ST, they don't have to do anything but cash Amazon's or Google's checks each season, smile and say "Have a nice day."

It's either inflation or a supply chain issue, take your pick.

My ticket stub from the 1990 AFCC game vs. Raiders reads $40...I recall my sister picking up our tickets from Marine Midland Bank in Rochester with little to no service charge...

If you live in the Nashville area, why were you surprised the Titans game was shown over the Bills? And why go to Olive Garden for Italian? That's like going to BWW for wings.

Get the free YouTube TV trial for a few days, then cancel. They have NFLN.

Didn't Greg Cosell say the exact thing a couple of weeks ago? Yawn...

And didn't get the Sunday Ticket discount this year...

Starting in 1978, all illegal blocking fouls (except personal fouls) were reduced from 15 to 10 yard penalties. https://www.footballzebras.com/2019/10/nfl100-90-year-old-rules-made-for-a-different-game/

I remember when holding was actually a 15 yard penalty.

Yup, I remember supermarket chain Bell's stepping up several times to buy remaining tix and yes, Ralph bought some from time to time. Often times, the 72 hour policy was "flexible," with teams, including the Bills, giving cities until the day before a game to procure a sellout. The blackout policy was, in the end, a total farce.

Why aren't these signs downtown?

Of course it was. But recall, TV contracts were NOTHING like they are today and owners counted on ticket sales for a large part of their revenue. Even stranger, the first several Super Bowls were blacked out in the markets where the game was being played. (SBI KC vs. GB remains the only one which didn't sell out). Can you imagine that happening today?

Simple: owners thought games on free local TV would kill attendance. Thank the Redskins (Commanders, WFT) for getting the policy (it was never a rule) changed in 1973. In 1972, the Skins had a great year, got all the way to the Super Bowl, but those without tickets in the DC area were shut out from watching home games. Pressure from congress and even the Nixon White House, drove the NFL to put into effect a policy, where if a home game was sold out 72 hours before kickoff, the blackout would be lifted. Who determined if a game was sold out? The local team/owner of course. Fast forward over 40 years and the policy was still in effect. However, in 2015, in a under-publicized move, the NFL declared the 72 hour policy dead and that all home games could now be televised locally, regardless of ticket sales. It was hailed as a good move for fans and teams alike because the more a team was on TV, the more people talked about them, bought t-shirts, mugs, bumper stickers, etc.

I was at this game, went to the Rich ticket office the day before to get ducats and the nice older lady pulled a pair out of a shoebox to sell me (so much for technology). Also, then-GM John Butler was wandering around the ticket office for reasons unknown. The game went pretty much true to form, with Bruce's big hit on Norman Esiason the highlight.

Sheesh...would have thought Coach was in his 70s.

It's the price of success...we start getting back to drought-era records, you'll get your wish.

Throwing Mac Jones down to the ground like a rag doll at 4:00 is cinematic genius.

Christmas Vacation's homage to It's a Wonderful Life

Isn't this the same crew that was ragging on the Bills after their MNF loss to the Pats last year in OP? Jesus Christ will come back riding on a Ritz cracker before Brady goes back to Foxhole.

Already being discussed in this thread:

A defensive Offside would not stop the clock in this scenario. It would stop momentarily of course, but the clock would start again at the referee's signal.
