For the love of all things holy. Please make your product consumable. I am not signing up for satellite tv year round @ +$75/mo AND paying several hundred dollars for your package.
I’ve had to “borrow” streams because I cannot pay you a reasonable fee to watch the Vikings. The streams are garbage and Id rather pay for a reliable form of televised games.
There, rant over
Not sure you're missing much
Wow, can't imagine spending lots of money to attend the game plus ticket prices and seeing this $hit show...

I live in Indiana, a friend from work had two tickets to the Colts/Chiefs game today and wanted $500 for them.

Not too bad depending on seating but yeah, getting to where pricing out the working guy or retirees... I'd have $600 airfare to Mpls, lodging, and tickets, way too much for this team...

My wife and I head in almost every year, decided to skip it and do other things. I love the Viking weekend experience downtown in Minneapolis.

Yep, that's the bottom line. I keep hearing about these 'free' streams out there for NFL games and the quality is total horseshit. How can anyone watch a game that way? Who cares if its free, its shit quality. And that's being generous.

That's how I watched the game...and I have to do this about 3 or 4 times a season. The picture and sound is fine, IMO, but it buffers about 20 times a game, and it typically takes me about 15 to 20 minutes to find the right feed, so I miss the early going.
I would pay the NFL handsomely to avoid all this and watch the game legally and uninterrupted. But I won't pay for things I don't use. AGR's right. NFL needs to find a way to make this happen.
I've said it before, but I don't think the NFL knows just how much potential revenue they're losing out on. It's a mobile society now. Very few people live in the area they grew up in and there are millions of out-of-market football fans all over the country. There is a pot of gold just waiting for the NFL if they would just open their eyes to see it.

Maroon answered the the question perfectly.
People don't do live tv anymore. DirectTv is a dinosaur. Direct TV is $65/mo plus fees and $295-395 depending on package for the Sunday ticket. Thats $1200ish/year to watch football. All that is assuming it isn't raining outside, otherwise its useless.
The streams have been mostly good until this year. They've been buffering a bunch....probably because a huge chunk of us are using them because we can't access their content without getting kicked in the nuts by Greg Joseph.
Give me an option of say $250/yr to consume their product. $14/game roughly

how much is amazon paying? how about the rest of the networks? the TV deals are already in place that are making them pot of gold type cash, I am willing to bet if they started their own streaming service that they would end up losing money, also betting they have already run the numbers and know this.
