EO, you mentioned the dirty play but when I watched a replay yesterday, I also noticed one of their DBs after making a tackle, well after the play and as our player started to get up, gave his ankle a twist. I don't know how hard he did it, but it reminded of the time the Michigan player pulled off an Ohio State player's shoe after a play. Bush league.

I agree & I think that team is coached to do those kinds of things. I know James Harrison would always hit late and lead with his helmet. That is why Ryan Shazier was so severely injured on that hit against the Bengals player. He just lowered his head and drove it straight into the players back. Everyone knows you are not supposed to tackle that way.

EO glad to see you posted. I've kept you in my prayers. As for the game I thought Kevin Stefanski did a great job. He knows O and I hope he's our coach for a long time. The D played better but our ST's leave something to be desired. They need work. Just a thought. I think Andrew Berry is a darn good GM who I hope we have for a long time also. He may have overrated our DT spot, but it can be rectified with a call to Suh and Richardson or someone else we may not know about. Maybe a DT on a non-contending rebuilding team could be had for a draft pick who knows.

Analytics= not being able to close out a game so it won't come down to recovering an onside kick.

good game on a network that nobody has

Times and sources change. As fans we will have to change with them if we want to watch games. Pretty soon it will be easy enough. You will just pay on a game by game basis to watch the teams you want to watch except for in market and national games.

My feeling is that only the selected Sunday games will be national games. Every other day and game will be a pay per view option.

The world is changing. Millions upon millions of people no longer have cable, DirecTV or Dish Network. They now have switched over to streaming services. That trend will continue. You can get so much more programming for so much less money. Change can be hard. Change can be uncomfortable. But streaming isn't even the future. It's the now.

Not until 2023. Apple, Amazon, Disney and Google all have proposals in rights to Sunday ticket. Apple is the frontrunner.

It’s a sham that the NFL just doesn’t run its own platform. Stream games. Let fans buy a ‘team’. Or buy a game. Or buy every game. Etc.
I’ll be pissed if they end up fracturing it so you have to have multiple platforms just to watch your team play on any given week.
I have DirectTV with the Season Ticket. Thankfully I also had Amazon Prime already or I too would have been pissed for laying out hundreds of dollars to have ‘every game’ via Sunday Ticket… yet not having every game… therefore missing this past TNF game.

Direct TV is going to lose a lot of customers. I hope satellite TV sticks around, as most remote campgrounds do not have wifi. I have a satellite receiver on my camper and up in northern MI that's the only option. Dish Network let's you pay monthly on an as needed basis. Luckily, the campground we host at is within antenna range of Toledo and there are a lot of over the air channels available.

What about Paramount+?
Their website says you can live stream NFL games
I think just the ones on CBS though


https://www.paramountplus.com

They also offer a free 7 day trial.

This only allows you to stream games shown on CBS in your local market.

Good to know.
I have direcTV currently and I have been thinking about getting rid of it since I cancelled my NFL ticket.

So any games on CBS or only local market games?
Are Browns games typically on CBS?

This might make for a good thread in the Everything Else Forum.
I might start it up in a day or 2

DirecTV is going to die. AT&T has tried to sell it off but didn't find any takers. The subscriber base is dropping and I suspect the only things allowing it to survive is the ticket and AT&T can absorb the loses and spread them around.

Once the ticket is gone I don't know that AT&T will let it live.

Local market only.

Agreed. DirecTV will soon be obsolete.

DirecTV died to me the day ATT bought them.

Is it really all that much cheaper? I suppose it is if you just stick to Tubi or something like that. My TV bill and net run a little over $200 per month. It's all on streaming. There are no cables.

This thread is kinda officially hijacked. That's a good thing because we're usually at each other's throats of a loss. I'll take the relative peace and prosperity of this year so far.

I'm waiting for the Teams to figure out they could make money selling "tickets" to watch the game online. This would be a real money maker for out-of-market games. It wouldn't compete with their television revenue and probably sell far better than the all or nothing approach from DirectTV. Hey, a Bobcat can dream, can't he?

Be it online or a TV streaming deal, it's going to happen. Right now the NFL is trying to figure out the best platform or combination of platforms.

I watched the game on Amazon .. they had both .. a one week free trial package and a 1 month free trial .. I signed up watched the game for free .. and will cancel this wednesday. The Browns have no more Thursday games this season.

IPTV with TiVImate and an external drive. light years better than cable/dish and I can not only watch cleveland sports, but still get all the broadcast channels I'm accustomed to from when I lived in ohio, plus I can get around blackouts but checking out the other feed or use a vpn on my ShieldTV. Def. alot better options out there if you're willing to take the chance.. Good thing is its really cheap and you can just go monthly so you don't get tied into anything long term. So the major barriers are eliminated.

I guess that depends on how you tabulate it. If you're combining your internet bill in with your streaming services I understand the total you arrived at. However, most people have a pretty high speed internet service already. So they just see it as another way to maximize using that internet and do not consider the internet as a part of their streaming costs.

I don't understand what you mean by having net already? Mine comes through EPB. So does my TV stream. So does my electricity for that matter.

The net is $77 per mo. The TV is 135 per mo. To get the best TV I need to keep my net at that level to get the best picture.

Because most everyone already has the internet and have had it long before there were streaming services. So the internet was a cost you were already paying. It isn't a cost you incurred in order to stream on your TV. Weren't you paying for internet for years before you began streaming on your TV? In your case maybe you did upgrade your internet. But then the actual cost wouldn't be the entire cost of your internet. It would be the cost difference between what you were paying before and what you're paying for internet now.

I had high speed internet before as most people do these days. So I incurred no increased cost. I was paying for my internet before I began streaming services so my additional cost was zero.
