I'm paying an assload of money for NFL Sunday Ticket...

Write a letter to DTV about your displeasure with the service and you are either decided on not renewing it or in the process of deciding.

NFL Sunday Ticket is a scam.

A great little money maker for sports bars (although, I know you own a few yourself)...for even the most hardcore of fans, its a giant waste of funds that you don't come close to actually having the product = the money you spent.

NFL Red Zone Channel + local or national games + the internet is all you need, even if you are a hardcore fan.

I watch far less NFL now than I did a few years ago. The product just sucks.

The only game I had on was GB-NYJ on Sunday afternoon. It was such a brutal game I was editing a fashion show video for my girlfriend instead.

I think it's just a bad year for football. If you look at the college ranks, we're probably on our way to a 1 or 2 loss champion. The NFL figures to have at least one 9-7 team in each league make the playoffs.

Just a lot of mediocre mediocrity right now.

AFC West's guaranteed an 8-8 Champion.

NFC West? 6-10.

Texans and Colts will make up for yesterday.

My dad has had the NFL Sunday ticket through DirecTV for about 12 years. Because of the Detroit Lions blackouts, we use an address of a relative that lives in the Upper Peninsula, because up there the Green Bay Packers are the main draw. So, we have not missed a Lions game in over a decade. Every year, there is a fight over the bill. Because we only use DirecTV for the Sunday Ticket, we do not use DirecTV the rest of the year. Each year, they change the rules and we have to be grandfathered in to a new program. The price is getting ridiculous too. They also might have the worst costumer service around, just terrible to work with.

Have had it for a good 4 or 5 years. They need to make it so you can just pick your favorite team and get all their games instead of forcing you to pay for every game.

I love NFL Sunday Ticket, but I agree it is overpriced. Although if you break it down to what you would spend at a bar every week following your team.. you're basically paying the same amount.

Everybody knew that going into yesterday that the slate of games was going to be downright awful, and it sure didn't disappoint. I would dare someone to pick a non week 17 Sunday in the history of football, that compared to the shitty matchups of yesterday's slate. It's not possible.

Here's who didn't play:

Falcons 5-2
Giants 5-2
Bears 4-3
Eagles 4-3
Ravens 5-2
Browns 2-5

Arguably, 4 of the best teams in the NFC didn't play yesterday. Some of the matchups were flat out atrocious too.

So the way I look at yesterday, it was a good day to stay away from football and go outside. I highly doubt we will see another week as bad as the past one. Here's some intriguing matchups to look forward to next Sunday:

Dolphins @ Baltimore
Indy @ Philadelphia
New England @ Cleveland off a bye
Chiefs @ Raiders

....and Giants-Seahawks.

Seahawks gonna shock the world :smug:

Then I can make a thread that says "haters gon' hate" 27 times and just post retarded ass GIF's the whole time.

I'm sure if the Seahawks lose, it will because of the officials...

Why do that when they can make you pay for all of the games?

Sunday Ticket is well worth it to me.. Sure, the games this weekend weren't great and if you're a star-fucker you can just watch the highlights on Sportcenter or whatever, but being able to watch every game (aside from Lions vs Redskins) at the same time is fucking spectacular.. The GameMix HD channel is a thing of beauty.. Go Chefs... Great googly moogley

Edit: I don't think the product is getting any worse to be honest. The teams are just learning how to play defense and starting more rookies this year so there are a lot of mistakes that you normally wouldn't see. It may also be the same thing that has happened with all of our want-to with video games. We're getting older and more jaded..

It's a possibility anytime the Seahawks are playing.

Trust me, the refs don't give two shits about the Seahawks to want to fuck them over. (everyone thinks refs are screwing their teams over)

And it won't be a shocker if the Seahawks win. Giants traveling across the country after a bye week. I'm not expecting a great game from them, and the Seahawks should be able to play well at home.

Props to Simmons for pointing this out, but listen to how shitty this call is by Chris Myers. The TV presentation for the NFL sucks balls now, too. Aside from Gus Johnson, they make every game less exciting.

They sounded more excited on the replay then on actual play.

Hopefully I won't cry like the last time the Giants played in Seattle..

 

[BigHouseUSA]

Speaking of Gus, I had the Lions game on the radio with RedZone on tv with low volume, probably at 3 or 4, and I could still hear him over the radio. What a guy.

As long as you promise to stick around after the Giants pummel the Seahawks.

Supposedly, Matt Hasselbeck already purchased a team color arm sling.

Very true.

Sunday Ticket is creeping up to almost ridiculous price levels, BUT, it's still cheaper than going to a bar every week. And I don't even drink.
