The NFL has taken a step backward as far as I'm concerned. The Saturday Pro games, after the college regular season ended, used to be always on regular network (free) TV. Now they're on the NFL network, which you can't even get in some areas. What's next, the Sunday games, or the playoffs? Could say this is what killed boxing, i.e., putting more and more on a pay as you go basis. There are no Patriots games in this category for the rest of this year.

I am boycotting the NFL Network. I am fine with keeping the score on Gamecast. NFL is getting ridiculous with this NFL Network crap.

Even though I am not older than dirt or NEM, I went to games at Fenway. Brought my not-then wife there on dates. She was a keeper, interested in the Patriots. Great times. Broken bottle fights in the grandstands on $5 Friday night games.

I agree that putting games on the NFL network at this point stinks. To be fair though, the NFL is trying to negotiate with the cable providers to carry its network with their basic packages. I dont know about the monies involved, but if in line with the other mainstream sports networks, its the cable companies who are at fault. I dont know which is the culprit, but I cannot watch them either!

I got sick of cable companies deciding for me which channels I could get so I got Directv and it was the best thing I ever did. NFL Network is awesome, and there is such a variety of channels you can get. Don't be mad at the NFL, be pissed at your cable providers. BTW, ATlanta just scored, 14-7 'boys.
Although they have Dick Vermeil subbing for Chris Collinsworth and the man can't talk!! I'm serious, he has laryngitis and is croaking out as best he can, but geez there wasn't anybody else available who maybe has a voice???????

Most peeople can get DirecTV - I realize some can't - just take the step and the problem is over.

MrBigglesWorth

I'm watching it right now. Vermeil can barely talk, losing his voice due to a cold.

It's a shame because Vermeil is a great commentator but he sounds awful tonight.
