Not when 1-8 is the same program from previous years.

All I'm saying is it's an impressive draw, but not as impressive as it used to be. Follow the logical conclusion.

If you need laments terms "it's still better than everything else, but the gap is closing."

Opinion: The NFL’s Biggest Threat Is Apathy

“Adults who report following the NFL closely has dropped 9% since 2014, the poll finds. More alarming for the league, however, is the makeup of the people moving away from the NFL in large numbers: Just 51% of men aged 18 to 49 say they follow the NFL closely, down from 75% four years ago. The poll did not ask respondents why their interest changed. The Journal/NBC News poll interviewed 900 adults from Jan. 13-17. The margin of error for the full sample was plus or minus 3.27 percentage points.”

The NFL package is worth every penny to me, wish I could still have a dish. Streaming can be a little frustrating and unreliable.

Living outside of the U.S. is a real treat in that regard. NFL Gamepass this year was EUR 159 (about USD 200) and gave (actually gives until July) access to all games incl. Red Zone channel live and on-demand full game (except for commercials) or condensed to about 40 minutes (basically every play and important penalty calls / challenges). On-demand is awesome due to the time difference especially for the sunday late and prime-time games.

They had some technical difficulties in the first 3 games and refunded about 25%, which made the deal even a bit sweeter.

Why can't DirecTV allow everybody the opportunity to just purchase the Sunday Ticket? I would gladly pay for the Sunday ticket and stream it via Roku or PS4 if they would sell it to me, but because I'm at an address where I'm eligible for DTV service, they won't let me have just NFL Sunday Ticket. I have to be a DTV customer, and quite frankly, their price gouging after a year is why I no longer subscribe to their service.

If AT&T is smart, they should start adding the NFL package as an option to their Direct TV Now streaming service.

The NFL needs to get smart about offering streaming options. A lot of people are getting rid of cable and going with streaming services.

Yes, and not only streaming options, but the ability to start the stream on a delay. Sometimes, I'm out and not home right at 1pm to watch the game. If it's on local TV, I can DVR, but if not then I have to find a shared stream. To be able to access the stream on a delay and watch the game like that would be just fine for me! And I would gladly pay NFL Sunday Ticket package price for such ability.

It's kind of like the Napster days. Sure, you have some who refused to ever pay to have certain music, but then you had those who begged to have the ability to pay for just the tracks we wanted without having to buy the entire album. Thus, eventually, iTunes was created! The NFL needs to wake up and see that something similar is happening with their product. People don't want to pay for DirecTV just to have NFL Sunday ticket. After all, the other stuff that DirecTV offers can pretty much be had with the other pay TV services. But, it's the NFL Sunday ticket that is sought after, and a lot of us wind up having to find a stream online to watch the game. I would GLADLY pay, even pay per stream, to watch my team in full HD, and live.

The NFL is definitely working on streaming options since they’ve already been doing it here and there with Twitter and Amazon. Just a matter of time and money
