The Jests are about to go up by 7 after a bogus holding call on Vrabel to give the Jests a 1st and goal.

 

Justin.tv - MOVIE AND VIDEO GAME - Live Streaming Video

game is on there.

 

If the Jests win, we are technically in 2nd place in the East.

Still........

GO PATS ! :tantrum:

 

They stream it on nfl.com

 

Its a great game 31-24 Jets 3 mins left

 

I'm with Gardenhead here.

GO ASTEROID!

 

The stream is actually about 10 seconds ahead of my direct TV feed.

 

NE just tied it up w/ 1 second left, great play by Moss.

and Cassel

 

Heck of a game!!!

 

Prevent Defense: Defense which prevents the team using it as a defense from winning the game.

 

only works in madden

 

choke Feely, we know you can!

 

Well, we'll need to beat the Jests for sure to win the division now.

 

Watched the game on my phone. NFL Network on Sprint TV rocks..

 

i think we can do it, but honestly, I dont think we can keep pace with the Jets. Im content with us battling for 2nd place. We're a lower tier playoff team, the Jets are part of the elite right now, as much as it pains me to say.

 

Glad i had Cassell for fantasy. Pretty entertaining game though. Hard to root for a team but i guess i was rooting for the Patsies with Cassel/Welker on my fantasy team.

 

Call your mother, she'll want to grap a bar of soap for that mouth of yours young man!

 

youre the one that has a problem dropping it

 

What happens in prison, stays in prison :shifty:

 

But I do agree, the jests just became the team to beat to win the east. How sweet it will be...week 17 in NY, loser goes home, winner gets the playoffs, the whole nation watching :knucks:

 

see...this is also a lot more interesting scenario. :up:

 

Why hate the network?? Hate the cable system that doesn't carry it

 

Have you ever played the game of Monopoly Dan?

Just asking.....

 

Remember, we ONLY lost because of one pass that Farvee through up after reading a bible scripture in the huddle. He had NO business throwing it up, and our Defense has no Exuse as it was like 4th and 17 or something rediculous.

IF it comes down to us and them in the final game of the season, I like our chances very very much actually :up:

 

:lol::lol:

 

This is why I wanted the Pats to win. NOW their chances at playoffs are onthe line against US next week.

 

When you consider the the market that the cable company will cater to with this network, it makes all the business sense in the world to sell States avenue, Virginia avenue, Vermont avenue, and Baltic avenue just to own the corner of the world known as Park Place and Boardwalk.

The point is that some cable company chooses to pay for a load of crap channels at a low price rather than pay for quality at a premium. Ask any marketing executive the market that they crave and you will find that the NFL Network owns that market for at least 5 months out of the year. I'm no expert but viewership of the NFL Network should actually peak during the biggest spending month of the year (December).

I'm not saying, I'm just saying..........It is a no brainer.

 

I understand the financial end very much, and of course it is a cash cow. The fact that it has become PAY PER VIEW Football is just the beginning :wink2:. Before you know it, Monday Night Football will be exclusive to having to pay extra to watch it..... Oh, wait....:shifty:

The NFL Network is a very slippery slope, if you are paying the extra 300.00 a year or whatever it is to watch, that is your perogative, but when that price doubles because it becomes even more exclusive than it is now (Ala Boxing) I dont want to hear the complaints about how much it costs just to watch Football. :up:

Seems to me, once upon a time football was actually free to watch....

 

I'm pretty sure that it's included in most Direct TV packages, and if you don't get the entire sports package on Comcast, just the NFL network, I think it works out to like 3 bucks a month extra.

And football is still free to watch.. You still get your 4 games a week on ABC, FOX and NBC. But lets be serious, who's not paying for at least basic cable now a days? On top of that, the NFL knows that not all cable companies are providing the NFLN, so they streamed it, for free, on their website. It was ahead of the Direct TV NFLN lead, and the quality was great. Now, not everyone has high speed internet, but I'm willing to bet it's a lot more common than it used to be.

 

The mere fact that the NFL was summoned to Washington to answer Arlen Specter's questioning should tell you that they are very aware that they are a monopoly and there is a line that they cannot cross. The situation with Specter is that he had no other support on his quest. He had no support because nobody in their right mind thought the NFL has made a unfair proposal to anyone.

Miamifan has already illustrated the point made about monday nights. Who didn't have ESPN when the NFL went to cable on monday nights? I would dare to say that they were not watching football anyway.

Miamifan also cleared up your point about watching football for free in the past. The NFL has always given you four games over the air for free. They still do. Nothing has been taken away. Your four free games are still free. Monday night has simply changed to Sunday night.

 

..........bending over backwards to get their product to their customers.

I'm the head of a household of four and I can count on two hands the number of stations I watch on the 500+ channels on DirecTV. The NFL Network is one them. The crazy thing is that I have two brainwashed teenage boys watching it too. You want to talk about a market? :knucks:

 

Bro this is the best network out there. I don't watch ESPN anymore. If there is a way to get it, I would highly recommend it bro.:wink2:

 

NFL network is ridiculous. They're losing a lot of money, not letting 50% of the nation see these games. Especially great games like this was! I had to go to a bar to see it once I saw how close it was in the 4th quarter.

NFL Network sucks!

 

It's an ACQUIRED taste. :tongue2:

 

Bro you have to be willing to take a few of those greenbacks out of your wallet.:wink2:

 

NFLN was being carried for free by a lot of cable companies two seasons ago. When the NFL started playing games on Thurs night on NFLN, the cable companies dropped them from the regular cable coverages because they weren't making any extra money for the extra viewing of the channel. Problem was, it was already in place, so they wouldn't be paying any more to put it on, they just weren't getting a bigger share of profits, and because of that, they decided to start charging for the programming. Don't hate the NFLN, hate your cable company for not providing the best content out there. I say, drop cable and get Direct TV. Lots more stations, better content, and better customer service.

 

There is a chance that our week 17 game could be a battle for the #3 and #6 seeds. If Miami and New York both have 10-5 or better records prior to the game, then this could happen. The winner would be the #3 seed as the divison winner; and the loser would be the wildcard. Of course this means they would face off one more time the very next week at the winners home, in the playoffs.

Is this not an epic plot? Especially when you throw Brett Favre and Chad Pennington into the sub plot.

 

Or you can all move up here to Canada with me. I believe I pay $4.99 a month for the right to watch NFL Network.
It's a beautiful thing.

 

Actually, its not NFLN that I hate as much as it is really nothing more than the tool that the NFL is using to turn the entire league into Pay-Per-View, thus driving revenues to an all new level. The 300.00 for the package is rediculous, and as I stated, it is just the beginning. The more "Exclusive" games they offer (Such as Thurs night) the more they can drive up the price. It is just a matter of a couple of years before that number doubles.

You my brother should understand well that in these times of financial woes, where many of my friends and family are looking bankruptcy and/or foreclosure, and many more can't retire due to the market, the fact that the NFL has several 100's of employees making 15x what I would consider a nice salary is completely rediculous. You think the NFL is losing money regardless of the Package?

Once again, its not really the NFLN that I hate, its where this is all headed. An ALL EXCLUSIVe very expensive trip to mediocrity.
