Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Here is the TV schedule for the wild card games. It looks like the Peacock-only games will be on Saturday. https://amp.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-playoff-schedule-bracket Given that the Bills play Sunday night and assuming we make the playoffs, I have to think there is a good chance we play Sunday or even Monday? (I am trying to figure out a way to avoid paying for Peacock again. Also, i will be on a cruise over that weekend, and so I am really hoping we get the MNF game, as I have no idea if I will be able to watch the game while on board).

If you play Game 272, you can still play on Saturday for the WC. Take 2021: Chargers-Raiders - Game 272 Raiders-Bengals - Saturday Wild Card (4:30 PM) That being said, it is unlikely Bills will play on Peacock again. NBC wants new subscribers. They already got the Buffalo and LA subscribers, who still have their initial month, or who forgot to unsubscribe.

I don't expect the NFL to want to displease the Lions anymore this season - so they'll get a premier matchup time, Sunday 4pm kind of deal.

My guess is us on Sunday (assuming w beat Miami). Steelers, Colts or Texans will have all played on Saturday, so they won’t want to hold our game until Monday. But it’d be cruel to put us on Saturday, given our Sunday night game in Miami. My guess is Miami @ KC on Monday, given Miami will have also played on Sunday night. Browns @ Jags on Saturday.

In 2007 when the Patriots were 15-0 and headed into the final week to play the Giants, the game was supposed to be Saturday on NFL Network. At the time, many people did not have NFL Network, and some cable companies did not even *offer* NFL Network. There was outrage that people would miss an potential undefeated season, so the decision was made to air the game on CBS and NBC as well.

Slow migration of humans to full streaming which will be done in the next generation. Make the inroads and drag the older demographic into the the future.

Also, Buffalo is playing the Sunday evening game next weekend. It's not a big deal, but that makes it a little tougher physically to get ready for a Saturday game the following weekend.

Until consumers stop buying, the the corporations will keep raising prices or engaging in "shrinkflation". Add to that, everything you read is how consumers are dumping cable and satellite and going to streaming. So the NFL is following the trend and putting the game on a streaming platform exactly what everyone is going to. But now fans are complaining. Supposedly either in 2024 or 2025 ESPN will launch a standalone streaming service following that trend. Read an article the other day think it was in Kiplinger how for under $30 could have a decent streaming options of Peacock, Paramount, Hulu and one other one service. Would allow you to watch network channels through them. Admittedly this setup didn't do much for sports lovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) To the people complaining about the Peacock thing, all I can say is... It's 2023. If you want to watch the game, it's incredibly easy to do so. For one thing, free trials exist, and it's only $5.99 for one month of it anyway. You're telling me that watching a Bills game or an NFL playoff game isn't worth the cost of one beer to you? But even if you have exhausted your free trial or DON'T want to pay to watch, it is still incredibly easy to watch any NFL game you want. The internet is undefeated.

I believe Peacock doesn't offer a free trial unless you're a Comcast customer or something. It's not the money, it's the PITA of setting up an account, and then cancelling it. And for older, less tech savvy folks, it's an even bigger inconvenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why pay for peacock as well when i get everything else with YouTube tv Youtube TV is really just broadcast cable for people to stream over the internet(live and on demand/same as cable box). kind of the medium between old and new...another generation and legacy broadcast channels like NBC, ABC, CBS etc will no longer exist. I know my wife and I(son as well) and most people we know for that matter...never watch live nbc, abc, abc, any broadcast cable channels ever except for live sports. Slowly legacy channels are done whether anyone likes it or not. All of our entertainment revolves around mobile phones(we like the app interfaces better than smart tv interfaces) and chromecasting/smart tv sharing to our main living room or bedroom tv's which is android/apple app centric leading to us not using broadcast style any longer. Just a long term trend that will culminate next generation. 46 minutes ago, Bferra13 said: I believe Peacock doesn't offer a free trial unless you're a Comcast customer or something.

YouTube TV and Hulu TV is just better. No one wants to have a billion freaking accounts and streaming services to have. Its modern but you can still buy everything you need in one package. The issue with streaming is everything is in a different place so youll need to manage multiple subscription just to make sure you can watch all the games. Youd need Peacock, Paramount, Hulu, and Amazon just to watch just football games and even then youd not have access to Fox because they dont have a streaming platform and need a TV provider to watch from their apps. And this is just to watch Bills games... Things like YouTube TV and Hulu TV is better you get all those channels owned by those companies and you still get to cut the cord and can cancel whenever you want. Until streaming sevices are consolidated into one platform, one account and one bill people are still gonna pay for cable and regular tv programming. And honestly i dont see those companies ever working together to make that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefs is even better, but swifties are not going to pay to see her. Bills already invested in Peacock so it's unilkely they try to do it again. Dallas for a premium sub is also a wise choice.

And honestly i dont see those companies ever working together to make that happen. I agree with you on quite a few of your opinions on liking vs disliking but i think the above you may be a little incorrect on just due to the fact that young people are already doing it. They are already on one platform and completely consolidated from the perspective of your cell phone operating system. That is the mental shift of the younger generation. It takes as many clicks on a tv remote to change channels or on demand as it does on a cell phone to swap between apps and cast, and that is what they are/have grown up doing comparatively . That is why it is going to be a generational thing. You and I grew up with the old way so that seems like the "correct" way. Younger people today have no problem making 3 touches on a screen to change to another app and cast. It is akin to our parents generation could not fathom not having cash or a check book on them at all times. I can't even remember the last time I had cash in my pocket. Havent been in a bank in probably over 5 years...Haven't written a check in probably 9 years(think it was on a new house loan). Just generational changes in the world. AI is going to kill us all anyways eventually so it doesnt really matter...Cheers man! lol Edited January 2 by Lagoon Blues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
