The plan is to move all games to the NFL network and dump the networks, watch and see.
No, that’s not even close to the plan. The NFL makes nearly 4 billion a year on the TV contracts there’s no possible way they could make up that loss with anything that moved the games to their own network. The plan was to make another TV contract but nobody was willing to pay what the league wanted, so they put the games on their own network to help them gain leverage with the cable companies in their efforts to get NFLN out of the digital cable wasteland and into at least extended basic and maybe even regular basic.

Works for me. If I want it enough, I’ll buy it. If not, I won’t.
Nope, not gonna happen, not the goal, and it’s all obvious. There is simply no way the NFL network could haul in the 1 billion dollars a year they get from the contracts. And there’s nobody there stupid enough to think they might.
