Luckily I found a nice Eagles stream, but you think it'd make sense for the NFL to offer better streaming options to get their games watched.

They can't because of Sunday Ticket, I believe.

Yeah I believe that's the answer, still frustrating. I would have just gone with DirectTV instead.. but unfortunately my apartment (balcony, where I'd mount a dish) faces due North. I have absolutely no Southern exposure to point a DirectTV dish at. :(

Yeah, I signed up for Dish about a year ago and didn't even think about football. I'll probably switch to Direct when my contract expires. It would be really nice if you could pay a couple bucks to watch any game you wanted to online.

Directv is supposed to be testing selling the ticket online.

EDIT: Confirmed..

That would be absolutely ideal for me as I can't get southern exposure for a dish. I'd gladly pay, perhaps even up to 20/mo to watch all the games on my computer. That's a pretty easy 20/mo for them to make. Hell, I'd even pay more than that. I might even pay 40-60/mo.. 10 bucks a game so I can see Philly games, and then a few bucks on top for other games I may watch here and there. Not terrible really if I'd do it just for the football season.

They'll probably only sell it to you if you can't get DirecTv due to location.

Vick is 100% unready to start, he probably doesnt even know the playbook yet. Kolb is still puzzling, I have no idea why the eagles drafted him.

Yeah, I don't want Vick starting at QB for the Eagles. I didn't even think he was good in Atlanta before losing 2 years.
