Stupid NFL Network and Comcast
 

Can't even watch the game tonight, I guess my only option is Buffalo Wild Wings, I think they will probably have the game on.

What are you guys going to do to watch the game tonight?

You guys just need to get enough people to bitch about it. I have Comcast here in Chicago and we get the NFL Network, albeit at an additional $5 per month, but whatever, you get three Fox Sports, some soccer crap and TVG.

This happens to be the best part of the package. The highlight reels that they show are ridiculously good.

Cowboys by a landslide tonight anyways. The Pack gets brought back down to earth and exposed for what they are, a highly mediocre team. Not that that's not enough to win the NFC.

I get it at home through Dish Network but am going out to watch it at a sports bar.

you get tvg with the package through comcast???? Looks like the extra $5 a month sounds worth it.

I have to throw an ND reference into this thread as well.

Looks to be a great game tonight between the two best teams in the NFC. Should be a high scoring and exciting game, that I see the Cowboys coming out on top of. Ex Notre Dame rb Julius Jones of the Cowboys vs. Ex Notre Dame rb Ryant Grant of the Packers. Doesn't get much better than that!

As much as I hate betting it, for you cannot win until the time expires, I believe the under would be my play here. 30-13.

I try to keep my partisanship limited to my name on DT, but to call Green Bay highly mediocre is just wrong. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect them to be 10-1, but you don't get that record with the strength of schedule they have, winning back to back at KC and at Denver ( Mon night), moving the ball at will without a running game, and then developing a running game, having the best 3rd down defense in the NFL, etc by being "mediocre".

As far as the game tonight, Dallas will score, but their secondary, outside of Newman is suspect at best and will be lit up by the best top to bottom 5 receivers in the league. Dallas might win, but it will be close.

And I think it's interesting that everyone says the AFC rules, but even with the greatest teams ever to play in the NFL (NE, Indy) in the AFC, the NFC is still leading the head to head match ups TY.

You say po-tay-to, I say poe-tah-toe.

i don't know...mediocre is a questionable word...what makes you say that?

How about a cable company that has the NFL Network, but is not allowed to broadcast the football games?!! Yes very much true here.

How can that be? You mean you can get the NFL Network, but they won't show the game?

IMO, they are in the worst division in the worst conference in football. They don't have that tough a schedule if you look at it. No Pitts, NE or Indy. They squeeked by a good number of teams. (Although that can't be a detraction. Good teams win close games.)
Don't get me wrong, they are a good team. A mediocre team. This very well could be their last loss of the regular season. That's not saying much given their remaining games. I guess I'm just waiting for Favre to implode and throw his ill advised INT's.
They have very solid WR corps. Solid TE given that they stay with Lee.

Plus, they beat my Eagles (without a competent Punt returner) and Brett Favre's wife is super hot. Other than that, I have no reason not to like them. If they keep the win column going in that direction, no way Mike McCarthy doesn't get Coach of the Year.

Good Luck tonight,+thank Andy Reid for Al Harris' bump coverage, lol...

I have Comcast, and pay for the NFL Network. I would be more than willing to give it up, though, in exchange for HRTV...

Yes. I'm trying to figure out, how does the fee from the NFL Network rise when a football game is being shown than any other time that they are broadcasting.

I'll give you a number to call and you can listen to the message.

I'm wondering if this is going to happen with the 2 college bowl that the NFL Network has this year. The Insight bowl most definitely might have local interest around here. Wouldn't this be infringement upon the NFL and NCAA

Worst than the AFC EAST (Sure NE is#1, but the rest of the division), AFC West, NFC South and NFC West?

I remember you're an Eagle guy and I don't blame you for thinking you gave one away at Lambeau...and yes, agreed on Reid and Harris point

Not worth splitting hairs on good vs mediocre...guess the mediocre caught me off guard because I honestly don't see them that way. With the teams Minn, Chicago and Detroit have all beat, I think the division is a lot more respectable than the AFC East less NE and the AFC WEst and NFC WEst top to bottom.

Yea, I guess I was wrong in splitting hairs with the NFC. The whole thing stinks, save certain games. Each AFC East team does have to play the Pats twice a year. The Jets aren't as bad as their record indicates. The fins, who don't deserve capitalization, lose alot of close ones. The Bills have given teh Cowboy's their biggest scare for that second loss. Closer than either of our teams will get.

I, as always, have worded it wrong. They are a good team, just not a great team that deserves the buzz week in week out.
The fan in me wants you to win by a ton. The realist in me says The TO and RoMO show keeps clicking.

I hope everyone keeps picking the Cowboys, because that only means the packers will destroy them. Romo has been great at times, but he has also been terrible at times. As long as Woodson can play and they limit Witten I believe the packers will win this one. I for one can't wait to see TO bitching at Romo on the sidelines, because Al Harris is all over him and Romo can't get him the ball. Should be fun...

Easy there turbo...no chirping aloud!
