Apparently so. I have Netflix so no big deal to me. I know it’s been said that streaming services were the way things were going to go but it doesn’t mean I like it.Is it true our opener against the Niners in Australia is only going to be on Netflix?
It is hastening the demise of the NFL IMO. You have to have 5-6 streaming services just to watch a game.
Agreed from a fan perspective- which is mostly all we care about. It’s getting real old how you have to have so many services in order to catch the games you care about watching.
Be fun to see how this goes down, most streaming outlets have growing pains when trying to meet this high demand for a live broadcast and it is 7000 miles away.
Its funny though, the NFL by far offers the most free content of regular and post season play and yet the small % of games being sent to streaming services has folks losing their minds (exaggeration of course)
I don't like it either. I hope the NFL doesn't go with a different stream site every week where we gotta pay hundreds in stream fees to watch. If its just restricted to Netfix and Amazon I'm ok with it. But Peacock had a playoff game. I don't do Peacock, Apple, Disney or many others.

All true, but with only 17 games to watch if your a fan of a specific team its kind of a issue especially if you get multiple games on streaming for said team. Shit, there was 2 Celtic playoff games I couldnt watch cause of streaming, of course in retrospect it might of been a good thing lol
Tough to see any demise on the horizon when their revenue keeps going up. People just have to not watch on the streaming services and then those services won't bid on the games. The NFL isn't doing anything here other than what they've always done - its just that in years past, it was only fox/cbs/nbc/abc/espn fighting for the rights to air those games.
The good news all home teams get all their games televised on regular TV. So the Ausie game will be on local channels for us in SOCAL.
Fuck you, NFL.
Sure, I'll be happy to watch the NFLN re-run. Fuckers.

The biggest thing that bothers me is the NFL Sunday Ticket used to be the NFL Ticket.
Now, it's Sunday Ticket, plus...
I am with @snackdaddy This all pisses me off. I will never buy Peacock for just the NFL. Amazon and Netflix at least provide other value. Peacock blows.

I dont remember which game it was last season, but the bootleg stream sites were better than streaming the game on the subscription streaming service that streamed the game. I think it was Amazon, but the stream sucked, switched to streameast and no problems. The streaming sites have come a long way in the 15 or more years I've been using them.
That's true. It's really frustrating from a fan perspective, but the NFL is only doing what's it's always done just in a new era of streaming.
Mark Cuban likes to say hogs get slaughtered when it comes to the NFL but unfortunately in reality Gordon Gekko called it and greed is usually good for these billionaire enterprises. As fans we pay the price, but this is why pirating is on the rise these days.
Not sure how old you are. This is what happened to baseball starting in the late 80's. They got greedy and baseball is definitely not the behemoth it once was, dominating all sports in the USA.
The 15-25 year olds have zero attention span, (21 year old at home). They are more interested in gaming, their phone and AI.. The NFL may last a it longer, but it will catch up sooner or later. (All IMO).
I have YouTube tv but don’t have the football package. You couldn’t get me to buy it. Not because I’m too cheap but because IMO the service sucks ass. It’s very glitchy and is just weird in how it works. Not a fan. Instead I generally just find a stream and can generally watch whatever game I want without much problem.
I actually haaaaaate this shit.
Prime is a fairly easy get, since it's part of the Amazon packaged deal.
Time to get the "free trial" ...... if there is one for flix.

I've been trying to get rid of Peacock but their coverage of the Olympics was amazing, they have the rights to a lot of NBA playoff games, and then the World Cup is coming up.The biggest thing that bothers me is the NFL Sunday Ticket used to be the NFL Ticket.
