NFL 2023-2024 Season

[Jimbo]

You guys brought up the whole Peacock thing.

Speaking of that, that game’s video quality was incredible and not even in 4K, wish Cable/Satellite could show that good of a picture.

Just because someone brings up a Streaming service in a Forum, Doesn't mean they need to have a discussion about how good or Bad it is ....

The Mention of Peacock was so Others could have an Opportunity to get it at a good price before a GAME ....

Really had Nothing to do with How Streaming is Great and everything else is dying ....
But thanks for your thoughts on it anyways ...

Was just trying to get people that wanted to see the game a Chance.

No you did not, all you were doing was complaining about it because it was a extra charge on top of your Satellite bill, for example-

Bruce, the difference is, all the other channels it MAY be on are available on thier OTA antenna or on thier Cable/ Sat package that they are already paying for ... NOW, they have to pay Again for an entirely different format just to watch what has always been FREE ...

Let’s talk about the positive about being on Peacock, the picture/sound, it was so much better, shows the NFL will have a bright future with that type of quality and can only improve as time goes on, hopefully with real 4K/HDR/DV.

That is the benefits of being on a streaming service.

You guys need to get a room. This constant bickering is tiresome.

Stupid me, I thought I might come to this thread to hear some comments on yesterday's games.

Usually when people don't want to discuss things they lead with the topic they want to discuss rather than wallow in it. Maybe that's just me.

Imagine having tickets to the game in Buffalo. Now imagine the disappointment of not being able to attend the postponed game tomorrow because you have to work. I have a friend in that situation.

Not many choices in this, cannot control the weather, yet they have to keep to the playoffs‘ schedule, because what happens in the Buffalo game, does affect the others.

If they are really getting a blizzard, I do not know how doable tomorrow is, back in Michigan, we get above a foot of snow, take about 3 days to totally dig it out.

NO,
I mentioned it SO that Others would know of the Pricing Deal they could get before the game ...

YOU changed it into a bitch session.

I was HOPING to discuss the Games as well.
Unfortunately THIS thread also has been taken over like many others in other sections.

You're the one driving this conversation today. 4 posts so far not about games that you demand everyone talk about.

Now imagine how that'd have gone differently if instead of trying to get the last word in your first of those posts was... wait for it... about the games?

I'd say the hell with work!
MOST businesses will understand, believe me.
Not all, but most will

Just replying to what Others Quoted ....
Probably shouldn't ignore them ...

But hey, I Can.

This is what is happening in this thread. You're the one being quoted. 5 posts now, not about the games, all started today with:

Lets get back to discussing Games in the Sports Section .....

EVERYTHING you're complaining about today, started with this post. But feel free to tell me where I'm wrong, across 5 posts what have you posted about the games from yesterday?

I'd say the hell with work!
MOST businesses will understand, believe me.
Not all, but most will

It's a federal holiday, most are already saying hell w/ work

Monday isn't a sure thing either, but moving it again creates even worse competitive advantages as teams rest and wait for the winner.

Steelers vs Bills playoff matchup remains in jeopardy

What will the NFL do about this game as conditions remain awful in Buffalo?

Time to move it, but they definitely will not be able to play until Tuesday no matter what.

The forecast until Monday-

Additional snow
accumulations of 10 to 20 inches in the most persistent lake
snows SOUTH of Buffalo, with storm totals 1 to 2 feet. Local
amounts of 2 to 3 feet possible across the Buffalo southtowns,
where bands will persist the longest. Winds gusting as high as
50 mph, with near blizzard conditions at times today.

They can come here, 77 on Monday, 75 on Tuesday.

They gonna move 70,000 ticket holders, too?

 

[Bruce]

Lot of refunds.

What choice do they have, the earliest they might be able to play would be Wednesday, then if they delay the next game, just gives the other team more of a rest.

I personally don't know what the holdup is? Western New Yorker's are a hearty breed. My buddies from Buffalo and Syracuse would have been tailgating today in the parking lot regardless of how cold it was and how much snow they got. These guys would probably have their shirts off too while cooking burgers, brats and drinking beer!

Where did I say that? I clearly quoted your post. You started out the day in this thread telling everyone to stop talking about the thing you've then proceeded to continue to discuss for six more posts. In fact, the thread has since moved on to discussing the games and weather, and here you are, bringing it right BACK to what you've been asking everyone to stop talking about.

6 posts from you today, still nothing about the games. Amazing. If you want everyone to move on, feel free to do so. We all have.

That would be difficult with the travel ban in place.

The conditions at kickoff:

These conditions with any volume of people are a recipe for disaster.
