Come Sunday, How Many NFL Games Not Shown on Network TV or ESPN Will Have Been Played? (2 Viewers)

NFL should have done streaming 8 years ago. --- They could have killed traditional TV sooner. I have been streaming since the Roku really hit the mainstream back in 2010 -- Haven't had a cable bill since long before that and I literally do not watch terrestrial TV in my home. If it isn't on a streaming device, I don't get it. Sometimes I go across the street to my FIL to catch the Saints games. Other times I go to a sports bar. Otherwise, NFL+ sorts me out and I watch it on my mobile device while catching RedZone on the big TV (which will stream using the NFL+ subscription) --- I pay for Netflix, Prime, NFL+ and sometimes Hulu or another service aiming to have no more than 2-3 active at a time. That's it. If you want my business you have to be there so I am fine with this direction. --- and also, my kids don't even have a clue how to get to network or satellite TV. It has never been part of their lives. Their whole generation consumes content differently and the way it "used to be" is just one economic downturn from being written out of the budget of most families and done away with for good.

There are people in their 20s who (a) don't own TVs and (b) if they /do/ own TVs, it's so they can plug a laptop into it and watch streaming as a group.

Some of them are surprised to learn you can plug an HDTV antenna into a TV and watch their local TV channels.

And as an irony, I am about to start hoarding Blu Ray discs. I am tired of renting the movies I watch most of the time (by paying a monthly fee to access cloud versions). --- Same with Spotify -- Spotify taught me that I like about 1000 songs a lot. The rest, I can do without. -- the young generation is even bigger into ownership and "right to repair". They see the modern streaming landscape as against that. Don't be shocked when, what you know today, looks very different tomorrow.

This must be a record. Three games on Christmas. None shown on CBS, NBA, ABC or ESPN. Game Thursday night; again not on a network or ESPN. Three games on Saturday--to my knowledge, none on a major network or ESPN. If I am right and can count, that makes seven games--including games on Christmas and on Saturday in late December--that have not been available to the general public who do not have the NFL Network and worse the streaming services.

My response is not that I need to sign up for a streaming service, but that I can do without NFL football--especially given how bad the games on Christmas and last night have been.

I have the ticket, every streaming service there is, and still don’t watch lol.
