Saints fans unite - don’t watch the NFL playoffs on Peacock (2 Viewers)

For me... It came down to a decision between either paying for that game or ordering a 1/4 lb. Single with Cheese Combo from Wendy's for $6.19.

I chose "Sir, this is Wendy's".

 

[Rouxble]

Game is on NFL+ in case anyone has that.

 

[0rion]

Oh man....you should see what just happened. It was amazing.

 

[Mr. Blue Sky]

Same same .

Well, crackstreams, but whatever .

Priorities. We have them.
Though I’m slightly dismayed you didn’t get a baconater.

I would have, but it would have put me over the $6.99 limit.

Not saying your wrong but I hadn't that and I work for comcast. Also My peacock still works so unless an employee account still allows access or everyone that had activated their account was grandfathered in you MAY be wrong.

I'm a Comcast customer and I have free Peacock. The payment comes with ads though.

Actually took a look at the bill. It's free for 2 years. Will have to make a decision to keep or ditch in June. It's likely going to be gone as there's nothing on it I watch regularly that doesn't show up on NBC.

Damn, I really wish I had boycotted both games today. Terrible football today.

no one in their right mind could think cable was easier to cancel than a streaming service...lol

Honestly I love how cable cancellation works. They are so desperate to keep customers that they will offer a multitude of discounts for you to stay. For me it's a half hour conversation on the phone every two years. The last time my total costs actually went down.

I have a bit of a different view of cable as I own all my own hardware and I have a pair of HD Homerun primes with cablecards that gives me 6 tuners to watch and record from for $0 a month. I learned long ago never to rent anything from the cable or satellite companies. Those subscriptions is where they really suck out money from their customers each month. For example I bought my last internet cable modem with phone service for $90 about 4 years ago. Comcast charges $10/month for them. So, I've saved $360 by buying my own and not renting theirs.

Now I have to admit I think it's ridiculous that the packages without phone services cost more than the packages with phone service. So, a somewhat useless phone service continues to exist like an appendix.

ESPN has had playoff games for years, this isn't anything new. Did you boycott games on ESPN? At least it's way easier to setup and cancel streaming subscriptions than cable TV.

I think this is apples and oranges. Nobody had to pay extra money to get ESPN now to be honest, some cable companies included ESPN as a special premium premium package. However, nobody had to pay extra just for ESPN that I am aware of.

I have it, and started watching it on my phone, thanks much! However, around the time the score was 10-0, I remembered that the Pelicans were playing the Mavs on Bally Sports, and started watching that instead. Judging from the final score of the Dolphins-Chiefs game I definitely made the right decision.

I mean, Sure, there was no Luka, but the Pels won without BI, Z, CJ and Murphy III, as it was a back-to-back and they were all rested. I enjoyed that game immensely! I think that I'll watch it again!

In this time of division in the fan base, can we all unite this weekend and REFUSE to watch an NFL playoff game on Peacock? Even if you subscribe, just find a way to pass the time until the nationally televised games are on.

Chiefs-Dolphins will be for Peacock subscribers only, and will likely be the first of many “exclusive” playoff games if this one is a success.

Yes, you'll need Peacock to watch Dolphins-Chiefs (unless you're in the local markets)

On Saturday night, Tyreek Hill will be back in Kansas City.

If you have alternative ways of watching, then by all means watch the game. I’m not looking forward to the playoffs one day turning into essentially PPV.

Bro its the price of an IPA

And equally as bitter

I didn’t watch but to be fair I am not their market. If it’s not the Saints I rarely tune in now. I went from sitting 12 hours on Sundays to just Saints games. No more pregames and after shows. Was quite the addiction.
