SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) It’s pretty ducking stupid having 2 games on at the same time ALL they had to do was schedule an East coast game and a West coast game Poor Eagles 🦅 I don’t want a split screen screwing up my entertainment Edited September 16, 2022 by SlimShady'sSpaceForce 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 This is the worst thing the NFL has done to date with respect to scheduling. Maybe next they'll start playing games during the day like baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like it at all. If I wanted to watch two football games at the same time then I would do pip, run two TVs, run one on a laptop/tablet, watch redzone, or a plethora of other options. I dont need it forced on me. When I watch the Bills game, all I want to watch is the Bills game. If they wanted to do something cool then they could let me pick and choose what game to watch in or out of market without sunday ticket. Let me do that in a streaming service. I dont need this crap above. I want to watch the Bills game and not some overlap garbage. The Amazon thing was actually pretty cool yesterday being able to pick the type of stream as well as having live updated next gen stats. 11 minutes ago, Process said: This is just a random twitter response but hopefully true.

SoCal Deek Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 The NFL does some really odd stuff and this is yet another one. The excitement of MNF was that the teams, fans, and city knew that all eyes were on them. Not sure why they’d want to take that spotlight away…but so long as Goodell is Commissioner I’ll keep scratching my head until it’s raw. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buf4alo Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I have a family member who is visually impaired, and he must sit two feet away from a 65 inch TV in order to watch the games. If this forces a split screen, it will completely ruin his chances of seeing anything. So freaking stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) I hate this too. I live in the west, so the Bills game is starting at 4 PM for me. I booked a private "meeting" on my calendar and will try to sneak out of the office a couple of hours early. I have a DVR and can always record and watch later, but my phone blows up with texts from all my Bills fans friends (who live all over the country, but many in Buffalo or elsewhere in the eastern time zone). Between that and my TV being accidentally left on ESPN (so I turn on the TV and see the live game/score before I have a chance to queue up the DVR recording), my car radio, etc. it's almost impossible to avoid knowing anything about the game. If I see my neighbor and say hello, he is guaranteed to say something about how the Bills are doing. He's just being friendly, but it ruins the game for me. If they had one game at the regular time, this would be much less of a problem (it would likely start around 5:30 PM for me). As a side note, I did not like the Amazon Prime streaming experience last night. By the time I got home from work, fed the kids, got them to bed, etc. and I was able to sit down and watch the game, it was almost over. I was able to figure out how to start the game from the beginning, but the "DVR" functions on Prime (I use Fire sticks) are not very good. It was very difficult to fast-forward to the spots in the game I wanted to. It went too slow or too fast. I kept going past the point I wanted to be, and had to rewind, and tried to do so without seeing the score. Plus, I watched it across two different rooms, so I had to start over each time I moved. Then the whole thing locked up becuase my usually extremely fast and reliable internet service was supposedly sending a weak signal. I recycled the modem, it was fixed for 15 minutes, then it locked up again. Then I fell asleep just before getting to halftime...Bottom line, streaming is not a great option for me. I hate it. When I record a game via Directv and watch later on my DVR, it's a very smooth and easy experience. I'm curous about the experience of others who watched the game "on delay." But enough complaining and grousing. It's Friday, the Bills are awesome and I'll figure it out Monday night so that I can see the Bils crush the Titans!

eball Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Jesus Christ...all of the whining in this thread. It doesn't affect Bills, Oilers, Eagles, or Vikings fans negatively. They will be able to watch their own game with perhaps a random split screen at times. We'll miss none of our game's action. For the rest of the general NFL watching public it's a good thing as they don't have to flip channels unless they want to focus on one specific game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
