I'll giggle if Indy/Atlanta is the closest game today. So far this has been pretty dull ! Thank god for the nachos I made.

How many people are going to be able to watch this game? I hope Leftwich plays just for the hilarity.

Well, I just shelled out the 5 bucks to get the NFL Network. With the GB/DAL next week, a pretty good deal.

Yeah, its a good deal, but hopefully you got it in a package with plenty of other channels. Those $5 don't buy you too much in March.

[MicroBob]

I don't get it.
I actually have the NFL Network on my cable package but they aren't showing the game anyway?
WTF?

Is there a chance the game is blacked out in your area? Depending on how close you are to Atlanta, you won't be able to watch if the Georgia Dome isn't sold out.

[mmbt0ne]

I can watch it, so it can't be that.

No, I don't think that's it.
It appeared to me that some people who get NFL Network actually don't get the games or something. Weird.

There was something scrolling at the top of the screen during their pre-game show that said something like, "You cable carrier does not have our Thursday and Saturday night prime-time games package. You will not be able to watch our game coverage unless you live in the markets of one of the participating teams. Contact your cable operator and tell them you want to watch the games on NFL Network. Your calls can make a difference."

NFL is going to go the way of boxing if they keep making it harder and harder for normal people to watch the games.

[MicroBob]

well, at least I know how to track it down on the internet so I can watch the game there.
Not exactly the same as watching it on my TV but it's better than nothing I guess.

My TV instead will be on the USC/ASU game instead which I will end up paying more attention to.
Way to shut out your viewers NFL!!

When I had this package that included NFL Network I was obviously fully expecting to get to watch all of those games.
Like anyone gives a crap about NFL Network aside from their game coverage.
