I stream tons of stuff, but many seniors don’t stream. Pitiful NFL BS.

Yes. piracy is an alternative. I just am not watching the game. I'll watch highlights on Youtube later.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
We get ripped off hand over fist, so yeah, piracy is more than fair. Let's just say that they've cost me probably a billion times more than I've cost them.
I’m old, but not so old that I don’t understand the streaming concept. Yet what’s frustrating this old dude is that NBC keeps mentioning the “historic” nature of the game. No, not that the Dolphins and Chiefs played the longest game ever, but that this is the first postseason game only available via streaming. Awful.

IPTV - watching for free. Not theft, pushing back against what should be free. CEO’s making over 1000 times their employees is theft. F*** them.

Go Suns
It was surprisingly hard to get a consistent stream tonight though. You could tell the NFL & NBC were out in force to shut things down fast.

The beauty up here is that our sports networks buy the rights to all games. So, the games are either on one of several cable channels or through a Sports package offered by cable providers (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Soccer.)

Marking a negative event for fans as positive and historic. Well, that's par for the course.
This is why you don't take history at face value. It's written by and for powerful interests and is not concerned as much with accuracy or a truthful context.

I was happy with it. I like that you can stream offline. Watched it at Freely’s.

Is that Freely's Taproom in Tempe? That is a great place.
Hated watching it. I had to pause several times for about 15 minutes. When I came back, Peacock shut down and put me back to the home menu on my Shield. When I got back to the game, it didn't allow me to resume watching where it previously left off. It either made me go to the Live feed or bring up Key Plays, which I didn't want either. Hell, even an option to go back to the beginning would have been fine. And then either fast forwarding or rewinding was blind as sometimes I'll watch a game that I'm not invested in at double or triple speed. This just plain out sucked ass.

I'm saying you ARE stuck in Wichita
Agreed, and having backups to your backup ensures smooth sailing, especially with a good app that has 9 PiP screens lol

I subscribe to Peacock, rbut this broadcast was garbage technically. I tried to rewind to watch a play again. It wasn’t supported. Instead you could only watch a replay of plays they determined worthy. Late in the game I dozed off. I awakened after it was over. I thought I‘d just replay what I missed. No replay. What a joke! The NFL just sells out the fans.

At least it was a pretty bad game. It would have been worse if it was some epic thriller.

It's kinda odd, too, since NBC has been pretty good with SNF for a while now.

Watched the highlights on Youtube this morning. Felt like I got the gist of the game. KC defense pretty much shut down Miami.

It's the streaming side of things - there are a handful of sports that I like that they have a part in and they are miles behind pretty much every other service I use - no reason for it either, they have the resource and can see what can be done
They're at the place everyone else was at 2 years ago
Have to figure out that people do pause games or start late, etc.
A couple years ago ESPN was bad with that, or if a game started you'd have to wait until it was over and the replay was posted
This morning I'm watching the German soccer team I follow - had the option to join live or join from the beginning
Paused to make coffee and help both of my kids with stuff - not a big deal
If they want to be exclusive for something as big as an NFL playoff game, they need to get their stuff sorted out

Yep. Biking distance from us.
