Saints fans unite - don’t watch the NFL playoffs on Peacock (1 Viewer)

I have peacock already should I pirate to spite the NFL?

Might watch the Lions during the playoffs, but not interested in the playoffs otherwise. Skipping Peacock will be an easy thing to do.

Who doesn’t have ESPN at this point? It’s a standard part of every cable package, I know some people do not have cable but that’s the exception rather than the norm.

It’s also easier these days to cancel cable, the streaming cable options like YTTV are month to month.

I don't have cable, haven't had it for years.

No problem. Playoffs? What are these "playoffs" you speak of? Playoffs only exist when the Saints are partaking in them. When the Saints season is over, football is over. See y'all in April for the NFL draft, to find out who might be playing for the Saints in 2024.

No plan to watch. I probably won't watch many games on regular TV.

Peacock has alot of customers that don't even know they access to a free account. All Comcast customers have access to a free account. They just have to sign up useing their Comcast accout information. (Comcast owns NBC/Universal Studios)

They stopped that last year.

You do realize how many people in the last 10 years have cut cable out and went to streaming? I haven't had cable since 2016.

The Chiefs Dolphins game is exclusively on Peacock unless you live in the local market.

I mean, that's actually true of most games every Sunday. Unless you're in the local market, you need to either get lucky that it's being shown on broadcast or use another streaming service like NFL+. This isn't really different.

I don't have Peacock anyway, and I'm not gonna get a subscription just to watch the game, but serious question... are we really boycotting the NFL just because our coach is trash, and OUR management refuses to get rid of him? As much as I hate Goodell I can't blame him nor the league for this.

I think you’re missing the point. He’s asking people not to pay for peacock because it’s basically PPV for those who have no other reason to have peacock.

Nothing to do with the Saints

On a regular season weekend you can’t catch every game, but it is new to start putting playoff games on exclusive services. I have Sunday ticket because I am out of the Saints market, and even after shelling out all of that money they want to extract a few extra bucks out of me to watch one playoff game.

Wait.....people PAY to watch football on TV?

Wait.....people PAY to watch football on TV?

i mean, i pay $20 a month for just about every channel known to man with my IP service, does that count?

 

[Rouxble]

Huh?

YoutubeTV, Sling, and I believe Hulu all offer “cable” packages that are month to month, you don’t sign a multi year contract like you do with Comcast or similar providers.
