Thanks for reminding me (and everyone else) of that.

It's far less expensive than what one would spend going out to a sports bar to watch the game.

They do for non-US folk...the price is extortionate though for NFL GamePass.

Maybe they don't offer it for the USA because they assume people who don't live in the area of the team they follow have Sunday Ticket or something?

Wish they offered a reg season package. So damn annoying that they only gave the deal to Direct TV. My apt complex doesn't allow direct tv.

Exactly, I think it's a means of getting top dollar for Sunday Ticket and TV deals. A lot of the reason why Sunday Ticket is so valuable to DirecTV is because lots of football fans buy it because it's the only way they can see their hometown team. If I had a clear view of the southern sky, I would have DTV just for that.

If people could stick with their current cable provider and buy an NFL streaming package, I'd assume that that would diminish the value of Sunday Ticket. There are a lot of ways around that, though, including capping the stream quality at below-HD quality, so that people who were running the stream to their TV would still need DirecTV to get the full, high-quality experience. There are a bunch of ways that it could be done, really, but they're all dependent on the NFL's streaming package being extremely lucrative. That's why I see this preseason package as a low-risk testing ground. If a lot of people buy it, eventually the idea that it could be a valuable revenue producer will have to sink in.

It's great to be able to watch the Patriots play a game-even a preseason one! I was at practice the other day and had a great time watching, so tonight should be that much better.

As for players to watch for, I'm really interested in seeing what Taylor Price can do, and I'm intrigued by Markell Carter-who I don't expect much from right now but feel like he could be a good player. It'll be good to see Ridley who looks like a hard runner. In addition, I'm looking forward to seeing all of the new guys like Anderson, Andre Carter and other new faces playing for the Pats.

If the NFL had a package like MLB.tv I would definitely buy it. At college I am in a Buffalo Giant and Jet zone


but since the NFL doesn't offer such a service I will have use other means I refuse to post links to b/c it is against the rules. NFL make a pricey Internet package if u have to do it that way. My point is I would pay the extra $$$ to have the ability to watch my team every week

Price is no issue right now... tweak it up once you establish a strong following

I got Direct TV @ home but what I am suggesting to you is a SPORTS BAR a luxury not close to me @ school.


Direct TV I <3 them but they have a monopoly on Football. I see certain Cable systems offer NFL packages as well. it depends what kind of cable u have.


Ultimately go to a SPORTS BAR.

I do have a plan next semester to use a fraternity on Sundays just to watch a PATS game
I hope my many resources online don't try up or I'llhave to find 5 new ones or use a Frat. I prefer my online streaming.

I'm moving to Long Beach in a month, and the upside is that there's a Patriots bar right down the street from me (I'm only a little ashamed to admit that this was a deciding factor in where to live). The downside is that it's a Hooters, which means I'll be spending 7 or 8 Sundays per year rolling in there at 10am and ordering beer and wings while others are at church. Dunno what that says about me, but Patriots bars ftw for out of towners.

sbpatfan

Not sure how that's a downside.

Last year, despite living in Browns and Bengals tv markets, I got to watch around 13 Pats games live on tv. Looking at this year's schedule, I think it will remain the same hopefully.
