Expecting people to have high speed internet I just the modern times tbh

That's real nice buddy, wish you could show some sensitivity to those of us living in a cabin in the middle of the woods.

Lol sorry. Amazon should also broadcast the games on the old wireless telegrapher (radio) for people who killed someone and are staying off the grid.

Im never have had any major issues with losing my signal on Directv. The few times it happened were only for a minute or so. Unfortunately, my internet is not as reliable. I have Xfinity and it's up and down as far as service goes. Only some areas have fiber and the faster more reliable service.

I would never expect Amazon to do any favors and allow people to view games without signing up for their service. Amazon makes a habit of crushing competition and making huge profits. I think the NFL would still broadcast games on the major networks since not everyone has access to reliable high speed internet.

We'll see what happens but there's that old saying, be careful what you wish for. Like I said, the NFL is going to want to keep that revenue stream that they have been getting from Sunday Ticket. Whoever gets the rights is going to have to charge enough to make up for that . I remember when you used to be able to watch pay per view boxing for $39 or $49. You usually got 3 and sometimes 4 championship bouts. Now they charge $99 and you usually get one major bout and a bunch of prelims. Once Amazon or whoever gets hold of the rights, fans will be at their mercy.

NFL is seeing all the money they are losing cause of people illegally streaming their product. And it's because the younger generation doesn't want to or can't pay the Sunday ticket price. Therefore illegal streams won't stop until they make it more accessible. Though illegal streams did slow down once they made it a felony. And I thought the NFL just gets the revenue from the bid from the start. And it's up to the provider to make that money back for themselves and make a profit.

If I had my preference, I would like to see the NFL license any streaming or TV service that wants to show the games on a pay per view basis. That would enable them to keep the price down. I'm not sure how they would work that or if it's possible but that would be my preference. Actually, I'm okay with the way it is since I always get some kind of deal on the Ticket. Last year was free. I know it's going to change. I just hope Jeff Bezos doesn't screw us fans.
