NFL 2025 Season

Right, but in theory I'd already have cable.

How many people actually still have cable? I have to imagine the numbers are getting worse each year.

 

[JujuFish]

As someone who doesn't have cable (and has never subscribed to cable as an adult), I'd much rather have games on Amazon or Netflix than ESPN.

Apparently both games were made unavailable after they ended. If you paused it and went to do something else and came back to it after it ended it told you "Game is no longer available." lol

That plus the commercials you can’t fast forward through it you start later and that damned spoiler commercial…

I wish I could just pay the NFL $300 and watch any game I want with no restrictions. I wonder what the economics of that would have to be for them to consider it - would $300/year be enough?

Used to be about $300 for a season when DirecTV owned the rights.
Now NFL Sunday Ticket is $480 (thanks Google):

So if we got rid of exclusives and blackouts, maybe $700 to make it worth it to the NFL?

Sounds annoying. The Thursday night games on Amazon are great in comparison. You can start from the beginning and skip past commercials. There's 15 minutes of post-game commentary to give you time to catch up if you are behind the broadcast before they cut the stream.

 

[Chaotic42]

Other than the UI, Amazon does a great job. I don't like that switching tabs cuts the audio, but meh.

Malik Willis and the Green Bay Packers versus Tyler Huntley and the Baltimore Ravens. Just as we all projected in week 1.

Maxx Crosby is allegedly displeased.

Please, Washington, please get him!

Crosby is one of the best…if not THE best player on the Raiders roster. If he’s injured, it doesn’t make sense to keep playing him for games that essentially mean nothing. The Raiders’ season is basically over.

The Raiders season ended about 3 months ago, when they fell to 1-3. The word "basically" is unnecessary; the only thing they're playing for is draft position.

Before long, Pete Carroll will be a retired head coach. Seahawks front office is looking genius right now for swapping out the HC and QB (just realized both went to Las Vegas 🤣 ).

Sources: DE Crosby expected to need surgery

Raiders star Maxx Crosby is expected to need left knee surgery that would sideline the Pro Bowl pass rusher for at least the better part of the offseason, sources told ESPN.

Perhaps Maxx was in denial about his knee injury.

 

[Chaotic42]

I was kind of hoping Aaron Rodgers would get his behind whipped by that Browns player he was fussing at.

 

[purbeast0]

I don't know how pass interference was not called on the last play in the Steelers game.

Oh well it makes next week's game VERY interesting between the Ravens and Steelers at least.

 

[Chaotic42]

So, Buffalo Bills, you say you do this for a living do you?

 

[KLin]

Well that was not the start I was looking for. FFS Brock!

Came down to the last second. That SF defense is on life support.

 

[Chaotic42]

That was a great game

Saturday night matchup for the Seahawks and Niners w00t

 

[BoomerD]

That was a great game

It really was. I have a deeply ingrained hatred for the niners...yet I rooted for them over Da Bearz. (I'll deny it if any one says I did)
One helluva game.

 

[Chaotic42]

I feel dirty rooting for the Falcons...

 

[KLin]

That Puka catch would have been epic had it not come loose at the last moment.
