The first game of the 2024 NFL season (the Eagles against an unnamed team)  is set to be streamed exclusively on Peacock. What do you think about exclusive streaming on pay channels?

I hate it. People are still suffering money wise from inflation, and streaming used to be an alternative, but now it’s just as expensive to have all of these services to the point we’ll have to switch back to cable just to save money. 
 

The consumer just never wins…

Guess I won't be watching. 

I will just follow it on ESPN's game thread play by play via internet. That is my go too now days when a game isn't on a local channel or ESPN/NFL Network. Regarding the Colts, I never have to worry about a game not being on because it will be shown here on a local channel regardless of it being on Peacock or NFL Network Channel. I have the NFL Channel anyway.

As a wrestling and IndyCar fan I have to say I love Peacock and it’s also one of the cheaper streaming services out there.  I’ve found it great value for the money.  

Yeah I have a friend that loves wrestling so he got Peacock. haha

I'm just not interested in trying to chase the NFL plan of trying to squeeze more money out of us.

That’s fine and I can get that but I am just saying how I feel about peacock in general not one word about defending the NFL putting games exclusively on a streaming service.  I can see how that upsets fans but so did putting MNF on cable and Thursday Night on the NFL network originally and then Amazon prime.  As someone who doesn’t have either I just deal with not watching the games unless it’s the Colts and they are available in my local market for free.  That’s just me though.  I can understand why others don’t like it.

Yep. I have what I need with XFinity. I have ESPN, ESPN 2, NFL Network, Cubs Channel, Pacers Channel, TBS, TNT, and the local channels being CBS 4, ABC 6, Fox 11, WTHR 13. I have a good deal but pay enough. If a game isn't on one of those channels that I want to see regarding Pro Football, Pro Basketball, or Pro Baseball, I will just get on the internet and follow it on the ESPN game thread. 

 

TBS is nice to have during the College tournament. They show a few games on that channel. Cubs were on TBS one night for some reason as well.

      2024 NFL Draft Day 2 (Rounds 2 & 3) Discussion Thread ****NO SPOILERS****

      By CardiacColts · Posted

      What a draft so far! I just got home from a sales appointment for work and started catching up on all of this madness.    What a draft so far! Loving the first and second picks. Our team got better today. No doubt about that.    I don’t know anything about this Gonclave guy, but I agree with other posters that you can never stock up enough on OL depth/future potential starters. Looking forward to reading up on him.    Most importantly, I am so gosh darn proud of this forum. This is one of the best draft threads I think we have ever had on here. I had my reservations/ concerns after the first few weeks of free agency. But this has been amazing to catch up on. Keep being awesome, folks!    Can’t wait for the season to start! Go ‘Shoe!

      Colts Draft Day Colts Updates/Rumors/Discussion

      Here's my simple plan for day 3. Grab a top RB in round 4. I want Jaylin Wright, Braelon Allen, or Audric Estime. See if any of them fall to our 4th round pick. If at any point before our 4th round pick two of them are gone, trade up for the last one. If two or three remain at our pick, take the highest ranked one on our board.    Ballard has been beating out the runs at positions. RB is the next one to beat out. Get a no2 RB to team up with Taylor. Taylor, Hull, and one of these three guys at RB would be very nice for the offense and would protect us against a Taylor injury.

      There is still a few decent players that we could pick in the secondary or linebackers. We have quite a few picks coming up to add good depth and camp competition.

      Colts select Adonai Mitchell WR Texas (Merged)

      By ShuteAt168 · Posted

      I agree with this and well said. It’s not too much to ask that he appear interested and engaged in the interview process. He turned teams off and it cost him. Regarding Ballard, I am clearly in the minority but I think it’s a bad look and unprofessional for an NFL executive, the man representing the franchise, to drop curse words and then half-way apologize and then keep swearing as if he just couldn’t control it. Also, Ballard doesn’t really know Mitchell, he hasn’t spent enough time with him over any lengthy period to where he can know he’s a “good kid.” I am really excited for the pick and we were fired up at my house when Mitchell’s name was called. I just think the Ballard stuff was embarrassing and nothing but theater.
