This will be the first game I miss in 27 years. Thanks NFL

[dollars 2 donuts]

I am one of those few people who just plain had a peacock subscription before all of this that I kind of forgot about.

 

So...this is probably not the weekend that I am canceling.

Or, hear me out, just sign up for a week free trial of Peacock and cancel after the game

 

no harm, no foul

 

i mean you could setup a Deeznutz@gmail.com type address with a name of nunya bidness and probably do it if privacy is a concern

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.

prepare the rest of your life for disappointment

"Does Peacock come free with Amazon Prime?

 

Peacock is not free with Amazon Prime. Not only that, but you cannot stream Peacock through Prime like you can with Max, AMC+ and many other streaming services."

just absolutely lol.  So now you're expecting people who maybe finally figured out how to get the Sunday Ticket on YTTV to add another streaming service, probably having to download an app, set up a username/password.  JHC I bet the pirate streams do 10x what peacock does this weekend,  I mean if you're going to go to the trouble it's easier to click on a link in reddit, or even crack a firestick, which is just a few steps.

I watch the wrestling "premium live events" on peacock - thats about it though.  I was thinking of checking out the twisted metal show though, always loved those games when I had a playstation.

So you own a sports bar that presumably profits you personally in part because of the presence of a local NFL team but you think that your taxes pay for your right to watch the team for free?  

 

You must think people who pay out of pocket to watch the team AND pay taxes are real suckers.

I have a couple of good websites, PM me if your interested.

Do you ever watch games at the Texas Roadhouse in Holly Springs? Isn't the owner from western NY?

[Son of a K-Gun]

Point your antenna to Canada where the game will be available for free over the air on CTV2, just like we get all of the Amazon TNF games over the air for free.

If you own a Bills Backer bar you definitely need to find a way to have the game on. That could be unforgivable in some peoples eyes. Do it for your business.

The guy owns a Bills Backers Bar. Technically he should be getting the Peacock for Business, or whatever they are calling it. There isn't really much of a no harm, no foul in this instance. 

If he wanted to pirate it because "fork the man!", then go for it. No issues. 

But to come on here as some weird martyr where he is going to miss the first Bills game since the birth of Christ because....moral...or whatever...is silly. 

 

Also he isn't going to do any of that. He owns a Bills Backers Bar. He isn't going to close down for the Bills game. It is all for show.

The Ravenwood in Clifton Park outside of Albany shuts down at half time for the late night games. They literally called last call while there was time on the clock in the 2nd quarter. My buddy plays hockey around the corner, so the plan was to meet after his game to watch the Bills. I was flabbergasted. 

They are a listed Bills Backers Bar. 

 

I won't go there again and I tell every Buffalo Bills fan I know about it. What a crock of shirt.

He's already said he pays for Peacock at the bar (back on page 3) but wants to watch it at home.  Several people have pointed out that he could use the same login at home to watch it, since Peacock gives you three streams on one login.

Yeah, I had the same thought. Honestly a pretty weird post and a massive overreaction. Most people agree the current streaming landscape is a mess but this thread is a bit over the top.

So 8 pages for this guy's faux martyrdom for a cause that doesn't actually exist.

What a joke.

I think most of the folks complaining about the OP have already wasted their money on Peacock.  Personally I plan to borrow family creds from wny for spectrum tv.  F#$% the NFL for what is essentially price gouging (especially for those of us who paid for the ticket) and F#$% Peacock's garbage streaming service.
