Football Season

Oh, maybe one could type NFL game pass, into any search engine, to find out info about it, and decide for themselves/yourself.

Now I went there and glanced at it, today, and I see that the price definitely has gone UP!
And the options for what to get, went DOWN.
So, it doesn't look, to me, like as good a deal as it had been, years ago.

And yes, the closest to real time, is the games that are available there, starting right after the game actually ends.
But overall, at my first short glance, I am disappointed with the changes they made to it, over these years.
So it's probably NOT a good option, after all, though I do think you could likely have streamed it onto your tv.

Thanks for all the info Kaila. I will check it out. If it starts when the game ends then I probably wouldn't be interested, cuz I will be listening to it live on the radio and will already know the outcome. :(

Previously you wrote this: "49ers... We all kept thinking they would drop, but they didn't....until they finally did."

Did the wheels come off in the past few weeks? Last I knew they were hot.

The wheels were on tight, until the 49ers wheels instantly fell off, in a "trap game" they "couldn't lose" to Atlanta, which had only won a few games this year, but guess what? They still have real NFL players too, and 49ers shockingly lost.

That coupled with Seattle having won a few games , and the challenging division they are both in, leaves the 49ers , gone from #1 in the Universe :ROFLMAO:
to suddenly instead, they are battling to try to win their division, and possibly to have a bye week,
or else dropping all the way down to wildcard.

You missed one game, and due to their specifics, they went from hot to....not hot.
Still in a good position, and definitely into playoffs, but no longer looking invincible. :sneaky:

96.5 FM station in Rochester (Streaming link) carries all Bills' games live. :D And they yak for a long time before and after the game, which may or may not be interesting.

FWIW: Back in the days of NFL TV blackouts (Rochester stations were in the Buffalo black-out zone) the games were always carried on radio and, they're much more interesting than one might think. With good play-by-play talkers, you can visualize the action in your brain.

Ok, thanks for the update. The only games available to me are over-the-air CBS, NBC, or FOX so I haven't seen any SF games in probably three weeks. They might have been available to me (don't remember), but I would've watched the Bills if on at the same time as SF.

** Generally, your local teams games will show on CBS or FOX or NBC when it states NFL Network. It does here anyway.

I heard talk on the radio this week about this, and they said that the Rochester stations have tried to "buy" these types of games in the past from the NFL but it was a no-go.

Seems stupid, and not sure why this is. They got rid of the old blackouts, only to have this instead.

Kaila, are you looking here?

Clicking "Ways to watch" they are talking about checking your local cable provider, yadda yadda. I'm not on cable/dish but I can stream anything that's available to me, and know a fair amount about computers, etc. But I have never tried to stream a live FB game and know nothing about it. :(

That was not where I was looking, and thanks for finding it and sharing it!(y)

At first glance, it looks daunting :cautious::LOL:
and confusing for me,o_O
yet looks like neither of us can get it on tv, and I don't know ANYthing about that Fox sports App, they mention.... Do you?
:unsure:
Likely something paid for , ongoing? I really do not have any idea about it.

Tell you what: If you run for NFL Commissioner and campaign on ending all this silly network nonsense,
you'll have my vote!

I don't think I will be doing that :ROFLMAO:
but it's so nice to know I would have your important vote if I did! :ROFLMAO: that vote of yours, would be sought after by many!

My guess is they are using it as a carrot, to get some people to buy the NFL Network,
which is in the most expensive package of premium cable sports channels.

But , there must be someone who understands about apps. I don't know if they cost money or if they just want sign-ups and have advertisers.
Clearly, Neither you nor I can answer each others questions about apps!
Or about that specific FoxSports app, named in that page, you posted the link to, above, in this thread.

If anyone else can explain that to us, we would appreciate it!

I'm sure you don't know "less than" I do.
You and I just know different parts, but not enough, even when we put them together. ;)

I haven't ever streamed anything and wouldn't know how to!
I also think my computer wouldn't download fast enough, to do that, but I might never find out.:oops::LOL:

What doesn't make sense is what I noted earlier: The local broadcast channels have offered to pay for these games and broadcast them in the past, and the NFL turned them down. It would be a win for everybody, including the NFL. They must take too many dumb pills.

I know what an "app" is, but I don't understand how it ties in with any of this NFL stuff.

Ha, a few minutes ago I got an ad from the NFL on my Twitter feed. They were hawking Saturday's games, but NO EXPLANATION of how someone like me can access them. More dumb pills.

As of October I have high-speed internet; before that I just had DSL -- which, in comparison, was very slow. But I used to stream all kinds of stuff with it and it worked quite well.

Oh well, I guess I'll be stuck with the radio on Saturday. :(

When I looked at this link you posted here,
there was some sort of App....called Foxsports6....or Superfox, or something similar... I cannot remember exactly....
It was below the games, lower on that page of 'Ways to watch'

Maybe look at it, if you want to,
to see if you comprehend it better than i do, and to see if you think it is anything possible for either you or me, or any of us?
I wouldn't want it, if it entailed signing up for ongoing forever, and monthly payments, etc.

Don't bother, if you don't want to, @Old Dummy (y)
That's fine. We will likely both not be seeing it.

Kaila, I saw those that you mentioned in your previous post. I searched my Roku but couldn't find any NFL app. There were a lot of old game clips and talking heads on the NFL Network, but nothing about any way of viewing live games.

Okay, so they don't want us to watch. :mad:

EDIT: I went back and looked around some more. Apparently you can only get the NFL Network through a cable/dish provider (CLICK HERE), which I don't have. I assumed it could be streamed over the internet but apparently not. The NFL is behind the times.

Strictly as a curiosity, if one had cable/dish, I wonder if it is even possible to just watch Saturday's games and what it would cost.

Three pro games on Saturday, that overkill, don't you think.
Then 3 or 4 on Sunday...boy they want to build an audience don't they? (sell that soap)

Well, my Cowboy's and Eagles meet Sunday which should decide who wins the division. Who knows The NFC might field a team in the playoffs
that has a 9-7 record. (Neither deserve to be in the playoffs)

The playoffs are more meaningful to me that the Super Bowl-too much hulpa for the time leading up to the Super Bowl, too much nonsense
at half-time.

Looking forward to Pats and Ravens in the playoffs.
Pats play Buffalo, should be very interesting.
Ravens play Steelers last week of season, hope to catch it-like those rock'um-sockum games.

Read you post to Old D. I'm dumber than he is, I just don't get it, don't have any interest in operating this infernal machine.
I can't send e-mail, pc ate site.
I use Internet Explorer as main browser, it won't lock onto browser, have to pull it out of control panel every time. My

I don't know for sure, but I think the answer is no.

I think one would have to buy the entire package of premium (most expensive) channels from a cable or dish provider, for ongoing.
I am sure it costs way more than either of us would spend, and I don't think it would be available to purchase for any one game or one date, or any other limited manner.
All or nothing, I think.

I have a very (extremely) limited cable package, and cannot add any one channel or any one day. The only option would be to buy the big, ongoing monthly paid package. No, I'm not going to do that!

Jerry,
I agree with you, about too much huppla for me, around the Superbowl, and it was good to read your viewpoints, that the playoff games are likely more interesting.
Can't see any of this Saturdays games here. Would have especially like to watch the Pats/Bills.

I am not too knowledgeable about computers, other than the things I use. But i think that most everything works off the broswr, so any problem there, would effect everything. I have no idea how to fix any problems with it. I wish i did and could be helpful about that!

I am glad you can access this site, Jerry!
And will you be able to watch whichever games you'd most like to, this weekend?

Agree 100%. The best games are usually the conference championships. Superbowls are often boring, and I despise the half time because they are made for people two generations younger than me. I don't get any of it, including the "music." The only memorable thing about any of them was Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction," lol.

Also: Unlike the public at large, I DO NOT make a point of watching the SB commercials. On Monday everybody is yakking about all the funny SB ads, I have no idea what they're talking about nor do I care. And halftime is when I build another adult beverage, do a load of wash, read, etc.

Not quite understanding your problem, but I'd be glad to help if I can. :)

"it won't lock onto browser,"

I assume you're accessing email through your browser. Q: What is "it"? And what do you mean "lock onto browser"?

There is a way of seeing this game, live, for free -- at least on your computer. Not sure about TV yet.

@Old Dummy .... check FOX for their Saturday schedule in your area ...

I know the Texans-Bucs Saturday NFL Network game is going to be on FOX for us, so check for your game locally. Good luck!

Eh, I checked this a couple weeks ago when I first heard about it -- no Rochester stations are carrying any of the games.

Not sure why they are in some markets and not others. Checking NFL.com it does not say that it is available on Fox anywhere.

Note the "Game Access":

Once more, " . . . only on NFL Network!" I will be curious to see if anyone actually sees it on any regular broadcast channel.

If you have cable which includes the NFL Network, then you should be fine.
