? Peacock / NBC to stream an Exclusive Wild Card Game ?

[Pape]

Peacock will air a wild card playoff game exclusively

For the first time, an NFL playoff game will air exclusively on a streaming platform.

Here we go... First Prime streaming NFL Games, now we get a playoff game heading to a streaming service... NBC will not carry it on TV... streaming only...

this is just plain out and out bad... pretty soon, or eventually if you prefer, the super bowl is going to be a ppv event if this trend keeps up...

i don't like it, not one bit... And who actually pays to watch peacock?

If this makes money, soon fox and Bspn/ABC will follow suit, wanting exclusive streaming games... follow this thru to its conclusion... television is dying... eventually tv will be replaced by streaming... Having to get multiple streaming services just to watch the nfl? Think if that happens i will bow out...

Mark Cuban is seeming awfully prophetic right about now...

I cut the cord years ago. YouTube TV + a few streaming services. I'm definitely paying a little more than I used to for cable but the libraries available to me and ease-of-use is a lot better than if I just had cable.

Peacock is terrible.

The idea behind cord cutting is to pay less, no? And to watch without ads? Gotta pay more to do that, or get stuck with ads again... all in all streaming sucks ... Catalogs full of re-runs and crap you'll never watch...

i have dumped every single streaming service I used to have except Prime... but thats gone when the yearly sub is up... Its all garbage

 

[Trolltolls]

Time to subscribe to the **** at least you can binge the Office

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

Won't be me. Greed is not so good. I could care less about the sox too.

 

[TheRainMaker]

This is a horrible move by the NFL. Wow!

It's the only place there are halfway decent scripted shows.

I am hoping this crashes and burns. Hopefully, nbc does not even make enough to offset what they spent for this. That way the NFL and NBC pays a heavy price and this sends a message to all media companies to not become greedy.

I understand the anger and frustration, but how much does the NFL cost a year to be a fan?

It's pretty much free to watch most everything. So if the business model changes to some PPV I can't hold it against them.

It's preferable to having games in Europe,

i personally want to thank the NFL for their greed and for making my decision not to watch this game, even if it involves the Patriots

I don't know about you, but my cable bill and the sports package aren't exactly free... Now I have to pay a premium to watch the playoffs? I look at this as something they are trying to make me pay twice for

If we make the playoffs this year, it's even money that our game will not be shown on television... No thanks

One 8 episode show every year does nothing for me...

 

[Triumph]

They force you to pay NBC streaming if you want to watch the game.

 

[Ring 6]

It’s $5 a month

I liked the model where advertisers paid for it all while I ignored them and went and got a sandwich.

 

[Zuma]

I haven’t watched a football game on the usual suspect channels in a loooong time. Streaming on one the “Reddit” options never fails…and it’s free. I understand the risks but I refuse to pay the NFL $. Even my 86 year old dad figured it out.

 

[TheRainMaker]

Streaming services are getting out of hand.

 

[TomPatriot]

Ok, that’s one less game to watch. Greedy pigs at the trough.
