They don't have the devices and cannot afford to purchase the devices nor capability of using the technology,

I have offered to buy a pad for an elderly relative and she said she tried to use one at senior center and was unable to.

She still lives at home at 85 and was even hired by senior center to help part time but modern devices difficult for seniors.

Do you think senior living centers across the country are going to join Peacock for a month?

NFL probably does not care for they do not buy gear (although I bought her a scarf) or buy most of items advertised during commercials.

 

You're really reaching to make a point. 
 

And has a commercial ever prompted you to buy anything, ever?  
 

Seriously.

You can watch it online or you can cry about it and LAMP. Your choice.

You cannot possibly be as absolutely clueless as you pretend to be.   Maybe I am wrong.

Clearly advertisers believe ads affect what people purchases otherwise they would be throwing away their money.

The NFL is trying to move from broadcast model to streaming model.  There are many, many elderly who watch NFL but have no access to streaming services.  

Time to get with the times. It's no different than complaining that games are shown on ESPN because some people might not have access to cable, or it being unfair that some places don't have access to quality OTA signals. If you care enough, there's always a way to watch and several of them cheap or free.

Vehicles, prescription drugs and beer. 
 

That’s what we get during NFL games. 
 

Never once has a commercial had a thing to do with any of my purchases.

Not true. I live in NH and I can listen to WGR on Audacy. On TuneIn as well. But they black out Bills games and sometimes Sabres games too.

 

Well then... I am going to start listening! [I dud try it before and no luck...maybe I did it wrong.]

I dedicate this song to the NFL

 

oh and I know the answer to her question its Money.

I have watched every game for decades. Literally.

 

Even gotten free trials of fubo, downloaded apps, got up at absurd times to see London games, etc.

 

But this game isn't on LOCAL ROCHESTER MARKET because piddly little peacock is trying a money grab. 

 

All the other "exclusives" had free trials, were simulcast on a real network, or even in the case of prime- everyone already has it. But peacock, tiny little bullschitt peacock with nothing worthwhile to offer? The NFL not only isn't afraid, they actively don't like us.

 

So I can't. I just can't. Sure, I could afford the subscription; but I can't positively reinforce negative behavior by the NFL trying yet another way into fans' pockets. 

 

They will take our tax money to build the brand new stadium for a billionaire, but we can't even watch the effing game. Pathetic.

I hear you, but this screams of an old man shaking his fist at the system cause he can't except change. Reminds me of a story my wife told me about her dad. He is a smoker and they always bought Fords back in the day. At one point Ford discontinued that small triangle window that you were able to tilt open on the front door windows. Smokers loved the window cause it blocked the wind and they could hold their cigarette there while driving. So he got all bent out of shape and wrote Ford a letter about how he will never buy another again. Do you think his letter did anything?

 

Do I like that I have to watch the game on peacock? No, but not having it only hurts me because theres millions of fans that will still get it. I'm sure this isn't NFL driven anyways. This is NBC that has the rights to this weekends games, forcing their streaming platform onto us.

Meh, I just paid the $5.99 a month around Black Friday.  It’s worth it to watch the game

Isn't Peacock like $5 a month? Lol

 

Just sign up to watch the game and cancel after. 

That’s what I’m doing…  it’s only $3.  It cost $8 to read the McDermott hit piece!.

National feed?  After Brown's intro to Monday's 'One Bills Live', I swore him off forever.  Sounded like an overexcited teenager before their voice changed.

No.  It will be Chris Brown.

Haven't noticed if already posted, but will this game replay air on NFL channel after the game is over?

Midnight, right after the game.  That was going to be my original plan before I caved & bought Peacock.

Drive to Batavia and watch from some place there. They should be in the WGRZ broadcast area. I used to drive 30-40 miles  one way every week to watch the games with the San JoseBills Backers when I lived in CA.

Back in the late 1980s when I first moved to Albany, Bills games would be on in Utica, but not Albany.  I had a 5" battery TV & would drive west on Rt 20 until I was able to get the game in.  I'd sit in my car & watch the game at a rest stop. One time the Bills were in Seattle for a 4PM game.  I didn't like the idea of being alone in a dark rest area on Rt 20, so I drove 2/3 of the way to Utica, parked in a Thruway rest stop & watched the game in the parking lot.  I was even able to go inside & get dinner at halftime. By the following season, I found the sports bars in Albany & never drove part way to Utica again.

Peacock is $5.99/month. I have it anyway to stream shows and movies. It's one of the cheapest streaming services out there. It's annoying that it's not on TV, but that's on the NFL, not the Bills.

[Mike in Horseheads]

Wait until some of these posters find out Peacock has a playoff game also.

Lol.  i was at SUNYA then, and would go to the big OTB sports bar on central ave.  I moved to Rotterdam in 1995 and got DTV and the rest was history

Sadly, this is just the beginning. I'm sorry they did this to you, and I don't blame you for not paying them. 

Just the beginning?  Remind me how long games have been on ESPN? You know, that channel you pay for.
