Manuel looks so bad.

Honestly, I think Manuel may have had his bell wrung on that strip sack. He just doesn't look right in the eyes, when they show him on camera.

Deer in headlights, for sure.
My stream has been very good, and I have crappy internet speeds out here in SC. I dont know if Id call it the future of viewing though. Its kind of the present.

Why was a guy wearing what looks like an old Eagles jersey in the background? #92, Reggie White
I'm streaming it fine on my phone using Verizon NFL mobile app. I tried to install on my tablet but it says device not compatible. Huh? I'm running 4.4.4 on both. I'm not tech savvy so I don't get it

I'm not a fan of either team but I have paid for NFL Sunday ticket. Seems to me that I should be able to watch the game on a television.
Edit: I'm now watching the game through my laptop to my AppleTv. Quality is garbage, audio is in and out and I can't surf the web and have the game on the tv at the same time. First world problems, smh.
Edit 2: Now i've figured out how to watch it on AppleTV.

Looks OK streaming through a roku. No drops or freezes or anything. Picture quality not as good as a standard hd feed.

I honestly can't tell the difference. 60fps and crystal clear.

I couldn't activate the game until I upgraded my shockwave and took a blocker off. Maybe?
I'll be getting one of those streaming devices i.e. Chromecast/Hulu/Roku in the near future. Got a new( slightly used and you won't believe who I got it from, PM me if you can keep a secret and I will tell you who) 42" HD Samsung Smart TV for my hobby shop and that would be sweet.
Don't get me started. Every year we pay the same or more for Sunday Ticket and get less and less for it. My wife and I bitch about this all the time. I'm finally coming to terms with it by just accepting the fact that it costs me $20 each to watch Cards games. It's like buying a new car, no matter how good of a deal you get, you can't help but think you're getting screwed.

Bills take lead on pick 6.
Yahoo's streaming is horrible. Buffering, switching between HD and super low def.

Hey it was free. BTW, the ad rates were super cheap. $50k , typically, for a 30 second spot. Yahoo figured to lose about $20 million on this, and considered it a test. It can only get better, and of course our ISPs need to give us more speed.
You'll never convince me that Yahoo lost a dime...

Yeah, but the other London games were free on TV. I expect this game to be free, especially since it started 6:30 AM local time.
Meanwhile my ISP is just fine with 100 down, and my PC can handle quite a few games at 4k/60 so it wasn't my PC or ISP. It was something on yahoo's end.
At times stuff got so blurry the lines looked like staircases and you couldn't even see the numbers on the jerseys. It looked like 144p, or what a TV might display if they were around in the 1920's.
I really just see this as the NFL's attempt to keep pressure on the networks to keep the high tv rights fees going. Like a reminder, that they could always bypass the networks.
But if they want to actually provide that pressure, they need to make sure they can handle it. It's 2015, not 2004.
The problem with online anything is, they never have enough bandwidth. You see it all the time with videogames, where even though they know they will sell millions of copies and are going to be hammered they always act 'surprised' that they didn't provide enough servers.
So if they make a big deal that it is 'only' online, they should make sure there are enough servers up to make sure it doesn't work like crap. In this case, Yahoo failed miserably. You'd think the NFL and Yahoo, two huge corporations should be able to get this right.
It's just annoying when you see the same problem crop up time and time again which is absolutely knowable in advance, yet they botch it the vast majority of time... and again, they specifically and arbitrarily decide to make it online only, but screw up the streaming.
TRUE!
