I'll offer my dissenting opinion from most of the other comments here.

I'm already a Peacock subscriber so I didn't have to make a decision, but I would have spent the $6 for a playoff game that I was highly interested in.

I've had some ups and downs regarding my interest on the NFL, mostly when all the Kaepernick stuff started. But in the last few years, I have enjoyed the league, and watch football each weekend. I live in St. Louis, and we hate Stan Kroenke, who moved the Rams back to LA, so I am sort without a team, so I tend to follow players that I think are exceptional. This season, I have liked watching Josh Allen and the Bills. A lot of St. Louisans have jumped aboard the Chiefs bandwagon, as it's in our home state, and only a few hours away. I do like them, but I like the Bills more.

I understand a lot of the negativity around the NFL, and their desire to walk the line of wokeness and the fact that their fanbase is mostly white men. But I can easily disregard all that silliness.

The reality is that broadcast television has lost a great deal of its popularity in the last few years, as streaming offers a lot of flexibility in programming and availability. Live events are the last area where broadcasters had an advantage. It's not a surprise that the streaming networks are now going after that market, as well.

Many of the complaints are poor picture quality, not in HD, jerky motion, bad color, freezing up for extended periods, poor on field production, camerawork was amateurish, and dropping out.

These had nothing to do with deciding to go with it, but they will next time.................It’s a technology that’s not ready for prime time...............
