    Week 7 Other Games

    Took me a while to figure out that Buffalo and Jax were on Yahoo. Should have put it on cable/regular tv. Video quality is inconsistent.

    I want the Vikings and the Lions both to lose today.

    What a dilemma.

    A tie? Hurts each a little, doesn't it?

    I don't think it would be terrible if the loins won today. I'd rather have the Vikes knocked down a little.

    Lions were held to something like 7 yards total after a fast start.....from start of 2nd qtr to 3 mins left in the game. Those guys looked like gangbusters then were completely shut down.

    yep, I don't understand why they couldn't do the yahoo thing and also put it on NFL Network or another of the hundreds of channels available. I guess they were concerned that if they put it on the NFL channel, it would take away from the 8 hours of pre-game coverage they have every Sunday morning...heaven forbid.

    because yahoo probably paid a shit ton of money to show the game, if its also on the NFLN, some, if not a lot of people are gonna watch it on the TV, taking away from the yahoo viewership

    One positive feature of the broadcast is that there will be 7 to 8 fewer minutes of advertising than a traditional game.

    Yahoo! paid a reported $20 million for the rights to live stream the game (on both Yahoo.com and Tumblr) across the world in an event the NFL and the advertising world will be monitoring closely. If Yahoo! gets the kind of viewership it hopes, live streaming could become a fixture in NFL broadcasting. Next year, the Thursday night slate of games CBS is currently broadcasting is up for grabs and Yahoo! or someone else could purchase the rights if the payoff is good enough. According to Adweek, Yahoo! sold out all of its advertising, but one report said it had to lower its ad rates drastically to do so. Still, the broadcast will be available to more than 1 billion monthly users.

    Not the greatest viewing experience with Yahoo. I hope they don't do it again. The only thing I could see as an advantage for streaming this game on Yahoo is that because it was so early people stuck at church being bored out of their skulls could sit back and enjoy something.

    Jets someone moving the ball against NE pretty well. Long clock eating drives to the point that Brady is on the sidelines warming up. Fitzpatrick (always like him) playing well, distributing the ball. Ivory looking so-so, being tentative at the line instead of plowing through like he usually does. He was on the bike after an earlier run, I'm guessing he's hurt.

    mccoy just got destroyed at the 1 after a great run, and fumbled the ball away

    didn't look like mccoy was hurt until after he noticed the ball was lost to the jags though

    You could watch it on nfl.com. They were streaming the game on the league's website.

    Dolphins lead Texans 41-0 late in 1st half. Dolphins have 394 total yards.

    Maybe Philbin was the problem. Or the Texans were overhyped again. Maybe if they change QBs ....

    That poor Bill Belichick coaching tree.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    We got the Miami game (we get them all) and the Texans are terrible. If you neutralize Watt they can't do much of anything else.

    Just checked some scores and Oakland is pounding San Diego. The Pack Squeaks by San Diego last week. SMH.

    Any given Sunday, I guess.

    Yeah, we get spoiled by the consistency of the Packers. But with some of these teams, you just have no idea what they'll do from one week to the next.

    Yeah, it could never be that the Packer defense was out coached and out played.
