What do you think is the over/under on the amount of times Al Michaels/Kirk Herbsteit say "Parsons"? Between talking about the trade and what his impact is to calling out his name on each play I'm guessing that number is very high, 25?

Should have taken the over. I counted 39

same experience. There were a couple times where the feed cut out and I hit rewind to only get the same feed issue so it wasn't on my end

That was okay when i was on 1 gig fiber. But still the NFL broadcast is 1000x worse. I missed the entire second quarter trying to get back in after being dropped.

I'm glad to see other people having issues. I thought it was just my piss poor internet causing the problem.

You guys need to quit pirating Prime from your ex sister in laws cousin. I had no problems with the Amazon feed.

I am not pirating anything. Just does not work well in many places. One of which is my house.

You need to use a wire hangar. Try licking your pointer finger and sticking it in the air to determine the best angle Of adjustment. And this is one instance duct tape will not work. You need black electricians tape.

I actually made it through this one. Usually I’m asleep by halftime on Thursday nights.

Despite the warnings at the beginning of VHS tapes the FBI won’t show up to your door…maybe.

The game was on network in my hood, sounds like it was unpleasant to stream.

 

[Bonasababy]

Gotta wonder if others are like me and the league is hurting itself with streaming only games...we have a prime account but it was asking to start another one to be allowed to watch. I probably could have figured it out but didn't bother. Probably would have watched the whole game.

You would be shocked at how close it is. A lot of the streamed games get just as good traffic as the national TV games (which also have a large share that are viewed being streaming). The game last Friday being on Youtube had incredible viewership numbers. 17.3 million people - on a Friday night which is the worst evening of the week to get high view ratings.

The evening before, NBC viewership was 28.3 million (almost 5 million of which was streamed) which being the season opener usually draws some of the highest viewership all year. MNF was 22.1 million as it was on both ABC, ESPN and could be streamed. The largest game viewership on Sunday day games was 17.9 million.

It's steadily on track for full paywall...

Oh, I fully believe the feds will be coming for me one day soon, but not for that, sadly.

I have a prime account but was not asked to start another. It was, however, a bit of a chore to find the game on cell phone. On the laptop, it was pretty easy, but not cell.
