That’s the spirit! and the only game I missed in forever is when my ex girlfriend said we could watch the game on her non cable tv in Corning. She was wrong (and she didn’t care because she hated football) and by the time we figured out we had to go out for the game, Peterman had 4 ints against the Chargers no less! For your sake, happy to see that she is an “ex” for you 😎👍 Quote

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 no need to take the sword. $5.99 is worth it to me- just make sure you save your account info so you can cancel before the month is up. Quote

There’s all kinds of stuff on either side of the line. And sometimes the line has some curves to it. And the occasional crack. 1 Quote

If it were a lot, I’d understand potentially. It is $.20 a day. If that’s a hill people want to die on, I question their commitment. it’s not though, it’s $100 for prime, $80 a month for YouTube tv, with local, NFLN and espn, then $400 for Sunday ticket…. And after buying ALL of that anther $6 on yet another app?? It’s obnoxious 1 Quote

And after buying ALL of that anther $6 on yet another app?? It’s obnoxious That’s like $140 a month. The $6 piece is the hill I can’t fathom dying on. If you had to buy the game on PPV for like $50, I’d still think that 98% of this place would. It would be annoying but it is what it is. At $6, I’m not seeing the reason for resistance. Just get your wallet and enjoy old wrestling PPVs Quote

I’m always amazed at the amount of people on here that willingly admit to being cheap. It’s hilarious and sad at the same time, not to mention embarrassing.

It just rubs me wrong for some reason. But somehow I’ll see the Bills game, and that’s obviously the easiest and cheapest way. I certainly can’t deny that! The ‘hassle’ is relative in this instance. I like having a means to sit in my cozy living room or man cave to watch Bills games. Yeah, it’s somewhat of a hassle compared to the days of Directv Sunday ticket with a game or two on ESPN, channel 206 or the occasional major network night game. But even with the inconvenience of needing to subscribe to multiple services to see all the games, it still beats the alternative of sitting for 4 hours in uncomfortable wood chairs in a noisy sports bar that serves overpriced and poorly cooked wings. In my opinion, the pre-streaming days of Directv NFL Sunday ticket were ideal. Good DVR options, great picture, and I still much prefer rewind and fast-forward features on DTV. Streaming has its place, but it’s given the NFL new methods of forcing us to bend over if we want to see our team. 1 1 Quote
