Their business model while successful definitely isn’t user friendly. 
Gimme 17 bills games, take my 3-400 and call it a day. Maybe toss in red zone as a friendly gesture. I would not be illegally streaming games any longer.

FTRITAH! 

 

I spent 10years living in an 80unit apt building that didn't have 1 dish on it. Explicitly in the lease. Yet "unfortunately your address isn't available for streaming option".

 

To further point out their stupidity I said what If I pay you the full price for satellite cable + Sunday ticket, and let me have the streaming service. And nopeeeeee lol

 

Cable and internet are monopolies in probably half or more of the country... until someone came in and decided to take all the business Cable refused to take.

 

FTRITAH!

 

Hell if there's WWF on PPV, my firestick will have it on just to piss them off lol sitting there on mute

The price of having every NFL game available to me on television for the whole season is about as equivalent, and probably cheaper, than taking my wife to a Bills game.

 

People should have to pay to watch. If you can’t afford it too bad. There are things I’d like to do in life that I can’t afford.

Again, there are things in life I can’t afford. That doesn’t give me the right to go out and steal those things.

Oops.  I got sidetracked.   If I was the NFL, I would also do everything possible to shutdown pirated streams.  I pay to watch games on Amazon, Peacock, and ESPN.  So should all the thiefs. 

You drive 56mph in the passing lane to slow people down don't you 😂😂

 

Taking huge corporate businesses side lol

 

Dude people don't have health insurance in this country, and it ain't getting better.

 

Goliath has a hang nail, and David can't get his insulin for diabetes.  Is there a single person in this country that thinks, we'll be better off in 10years?

 

People working 2-3jobs, eating awful food, can't afford health insurance, to go out to eat every now and then on a Friday.

 

Work. Stress. Health problems. No time off. 

 

^weird these people would want to have some kind of cheap release?? Weird to gatekeep.

 

Poor Goodell Is going to have to cut down on his adrenochrome intake, because the poors watched TV 😂👌

I cut the cord on a ton but not everything this summer. I use Kodi with a VPN and a scraper on my firestick. For movies, shows, etc. it works just as well as any other streaming service. I have run into issues in past attempts but for the most part for some of the later game stuff I wanted to watch out of market it was pretty solid.  I got through the recent World Cup with almost zero issues. The feed was great with minimal/no buffering.  It is getting a lot better.

 

I would be curious how a Bills game goes these days, but I don't want to chance it. 

They've been pristine for a few years. The crappy streams are the ones on PC, and even those are getting a lot better even in last few months

$300+ to watch a season is stupid.  

Especially when your team has so many nationally televised games.  i just order RZ and stream Bills

Is it actually illegal to watch a stream?  Posting the stream seems clearly illegal. Otherwise, I’m just rubbernecking like I do at car wrecks.

it's really $400+ minimum  if you don't already have Youtube TV.   Or $665+ tax if you want the $300 season rate, because you need to pay $73/mo for at least 5 months to have Youtube TV during the season. 

[klos63]

What stinks is that some weeks you have so many , say, 1pm games on. You pay for them all , but you can't watch them. NFL needs to stagger start times and allow fans the opportunity to watch more games that they pay for.

Are you “serious?”  It is theft.

 

Can I decide if what I take from YOU is important? Or is that just being dramatic?

It isn't even a loss, right? 

Like sports leagues are not in the red because of it, they are just not making an additional $28B split between networks, streamers, advertisers, teams, and salary caps, right? I would think once you break down all the parties that that $28B goes to, the loss in profit is fairly negligible.

 

The cost for consumption is getting way too high. We have gone from basically free with an antenna, to heading to the bowling ally for $2 beers during blackout games, to needing to spend $100 per month on a streaming service on top of the $100 a month I spend on other streaming services in order to watch my football team. It is bonkers. The model is reaching its breaking point. 

I think it's already there.

100% serious. There's absolutely no theft at all. They still have their copy of the game as does every customer they sold it to.

Is it theft when you have people over to watch the game at your house? Is it theft if you walk away during the commercial that someone paid for?

If they don't want people to share their content with other people they should create a better platform that incentivizes people to own it instead of crying about it.

Does the price of a nice tenderloin excuse shoplifting? 

 

Sorry, I know many don’t like that line of thinking, despite knowing it’s true. Not judging. I’m just a rule follower in general. I get that people will always skirt around the edges for an advantage. That’s life. 

I understand your angle, I respect you as a poster and as a cool dude.

 

The truth is, governments aren't playing fair, big business would slash our throats if it meant a green arrow next to their stock. Those 2 feed off each other and take, and take and take and take... and now are boo-hooing we have nothing left to take.

 

Honestly it's noble of you to try and stay within the rules, but if the little man is playing by rules the big one doesn't have, eventually they'll pop you like a balloon.

 

Maybe not in your lifetime, or the next, but: inheritances are no longer feasible with inflation. The money you saved up to pass down, maybe even in hopes it could be passed down multiple generations.... it's already taken from you. It's worth fractions of what you earned.

 

And its not just money taken. Your time at work (away from family), was stolen as they keep printing. Your generations life savings- is worthless. You traded your literal life, and your time with your family, and recreation AKA living a human life... and that money is no longer going to reach a 2nd generation. Its a theft of life and legacy.

 

The tooth paste bottle is empty. Its been gone, but they're getting every last drop out of it, even if it's 5 streaming services at $10/pop. 

 

Lord help me I'm sorry, I got too fired up, but I believe it's all true. The rich can enjoy their dirty plaque filled mouths, because they took it all

 

FALL OF ROME is already gaining speed hard

It'll come for you too. It's already started. And it'll chip away at every generation after you. The foundation is rotting
