NoSaint Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 7 hours ago, Bleeding Bills Blue said: They've had TNF on prime for a couple of years - why is it different for peacock to buy a game? ESPN and NFL network are in far fewer houses - so people needed to buy a streaming service to watch those too. A) it’s a full season not a one (two) off game B) there’s a massive contingency that already have Amazon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chongli Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 53 minutes ago, Limeaid said: Yes it is interesting rules are different. Yes, only the primary markets get to see the OTA games from ESPN, Amazon, Peacock, etc., but the old blackout rules for not selling out includes any DMA within 75 miles of the stadium that was capable of getting the OTA reception. So Rochester, Syracuse, and Erie were included, The remaining blackout rule for having more than 4 games at home on the SH network only apply to rhe Buffalo DMA though.

Bob Jones Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 14 hours ago, billsfan89 said: I don't see putting it on Peacock being that much different than putting it on ESPN. You have to pay for cable to get ESPN so either way it is behind a paywall? I generally agree the NFL should avoid putting a second paywall for playoff games its not in their best interest but if games are on cable why not a streaming service? I brought this up last year when the Sunday Ticket went to YouTube, but for both Peacock and YT (and any streaming service), you should figure in the cost of your internet service too, as you MUST have a decent ISP BEFORE you do any of these streaming services. And yes, you can say that *most* people nowadays have decent internet service at home, but maybe you can say that anybody with cable or sat dish tv service will have ESPN included in their basic package.

Steptide Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I guess I just wonder why if they're gonna stream a football game, why not do it on a more popular platform? I know, whoever pays the most right? Still just seems like there's a better way to do it on a streaming platform 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since1981 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) 40M watched wk 18 game NBC 3M watched wk 16 game Peacock there are not 40M Bills/Fins fans. 400M have Prime, different than peacock!! You want tens of millions non-fans to watch your product/ads. That won’t happen if NFL fracks out games to 12 stream services. Bad for NFL business long term Edited January 9 by Since1981 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Kevi Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 20 hours ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: It's five dollars. $5 I can see it being the "ultimate slap in the face" if it were $99.99 PPV, but we are talking about five dollars... $5 I hate this argument. It's a slippery slope, and this type of attitude portends more and more of this; with the NFL having no monetary backlash. The ONLY way to stop this from getting worse and worse is to stop paying the fees for these money grabs. We can't stop the NFL.... But we can stop peacock from making back it's 110 million they paid to get the game, then these services will not want to do these exclusives any more. This one should be easy to avoid. KC/phins I'll just check the score at the end. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggerdaddynj Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It’s not enough that we subsidize their billion dollar stadiums with our tax dollars: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/22/taxpayers-are-paying-billions-for-nfl-stadiums-heres-how.html#:~:text=The reason cities end up,teams to pay for stadiums. Would love to hear the people responsible for this explain how it’s fair to any taxpayer. Because this is only the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 it’s annoying but the outrage is kinda bizarre. I have much less problem with putting a playoff game on peacock than adding a 17th game when injuries pile up in a 16 game schedule or making these guys fly to london and germany to play a regular season game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, if you think the NFL doesn't care about its fans, just take a look at how it really doesn't give a rat's ass about the players. In addition to the examples above, playing every week on Thursdays is outrageous. 4 day turnarounds are brutal on players, not to mention the crappy play it produces. I'll always follow the Bills, but if they aren't playing I really couldn't care less about the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBuffalo Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 On 1/8/2024 at 12:59 PM, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: I actually like the streaming movement at first. It was when they were putting full seasons of old shows, or new shows with ads out. The problem now is that the model works when it can aggregate content. Now, every single media company wants their own and claims first dibs on those rights making it less user friendly cable. I understood the attraction back when it first started. But knew it was always a lesser product. You could only get some of the shows and sports…forget it. This regional BS they enforce….zero ability to push back that you didn’t live in the “drop zone”. Didn’t matter. You got the shaft. The other sad thing is that it’s impacted the quality of programs too. Too many networks and streaming companies trying to put shows out. It has diluted the product. So basically I curse the “cut the cord” movement and the sheep that bought into it. I pay basically the same I always did, get less access to the sports I want and less included content as well as a complete lack of ease of navigation/search. Damn it all to hell and back! Hahaha. First world problems baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 The most surprising thing I learned reading this thread is that Francesca is still alive. It must kill him that Chris Russo is far more successful at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hard enough time following about 20 shows, hard to imagine even having time to consider watching over 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
416BillsFan Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 When Peacock aired Bills/Chargers someone mentioned (from Rochester I believe?) that they were able to watch the Amazon games on the Barrie station with a digital antenna. It's looking like this game with be on CFTO Toronto (CTV) which is closer and probably has a stronger signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
