The Netflix broadcast is awful- Packed with unavoidable commercials, non stop talking regarding zero about the players and the actual game- A 20 minute dubbed in interview during live play with Emmett Smith- God its a joke
It's like the games on Prime. These streams just suck. No pause, no skipping commercials, sometimes a shit signal. I get free Peacock and Prime. I suppose there will be a few more of those games in the next couple weeks. Are there any more Netflix or NFL Network games still ahead? Just a hose-a-paloooza lol.

This is nothing like Prime- We can pause, skip commercials, FF easily - Not with this Netflix stuff plus the feed is glitching. The Prime audio does suck even after 3 + years

And who said football wasn't dangerous?

Florida man kills wife and then self after argument over 'Monday Night Football'

Another crazy Christmas holiday story.

A buddy of mine is a DC attorney, working somehow on a Ted Cruz Congressional subcommittee that is investigating the proliferation of the NFL across so many platforms - and how it is bad for the consumer as the NFL has a monopoly on - well, NFL games. It's interesting it has actually reached this level of discussion - I was able to submit 2 questions for the senators to address - it was pretty cool. WHo knows it this will go anywhere, but it is intereresting that it is supposedly really being looked into. I guess the complaint is you can't spread your games out across 15 different platforms and expect the consumer to be be able to follow it. Who all has games? ABC, NBC, CBS, Amazon, Netflix, ESPN, Peacock, Fox, NFL Network, those are what I know of for sure.

Wow- Also surprised but not surprised we are where we are with this cord cutting nonsense that has failed the consumer on so many levels- And the most dysfunctional thing about all of this is even if you buy the NFL Sunday ticket there are still so many games not available to you without having multiple streaming packages-

I tried watching the Rams game on Prime Video and after a few minutes the audio cut out and I was forced to turn on the radio broadcast after none of the recommended fixes worked. Unfortunately the video lagged 15 seconds behind the radio so I finally gave up as the game was going poorly anyway. Thanks Jeff!

Giants in Vegas this weekend. Two 2-13 teams battling it out for the keys to the basement.

Hope everyone's feed works for that matchup. Don't wanna miss it.

You might try to use the Prime app on your phone as a backup.

I was nodding along in agreement yesterday while reading this and then comes today with a pretty decent
game going on between Houston and the Chargers - followed by a not as great game of Ravens vs. Pakers and I can't
watch either one because I don't have NFL network and Peacock respectively. College football is going down the
shitter, IMO, as a result of this sort of BS and now the NFL is headed this direction too.

Fuck Roger Goodell. What an absolute douche bag to let this national treasure fall to this shit. Elitest cocksukers.
