It's hard to watch teams like KC and BUF and think GB has anywhere near the amount of offense it needs.  It feels like the success of this season hinges on the OL getting healthier and the two rook WR's developing into threats by Dec.

Lotta ballgame left...

Weird. I watched it on a regular TV.

Apparently you were high too.

I have prime, but didn't stream the game.  I was curious to know what the quality of the streaming was.  I assumed just like streaming movies...

Watched it on a 13 year old Panasonic plasma TV. Pretty sure I bought that TV the year the Packers won the SB.

Only watched the first half but the quality was very good. We have decent but not spectacular internet. 250/250MB.

Damn, you still have a plasma?  One of the knocks on those was that they didn't last long.  So much for that.  Does it still look good?  I ask that because I think the 50" LED we bought 6 or 7 years ago looks great on a 4K broadcast (it's a 4k tv).  And then I go to Costco and look at the TV's on display and go, "wow."  They've come a long way in 7 years, and for cheaper than I bought mine.  Then I get the urge to get a new one, but then I go back home and watch ours and it's great again.

Yeah, the plasma still works great. Actually I confused myself. I was watching on a not quite as old 52" Sony LCD. The plasma (48" I think?) is in my son's room and going strong. When I bought it I followed some geeky burn in program that ran for like 48 hours before I ever used it. Not sure if that made a difference long term but over the summer my son probably put in a solid 12 hours of XBOX on that daily.

It does get warm (not hot but warm) and it's a lot heaver than newer TV's that are much larger but I definitely got some ROI from that TV.

Those TV's on display are always set at such a level to look 'good' in the showroom, often fed with a pure 4K source provided by manufacturers.

The vast majority of people's human eyes have a hard time discerning the difference between 1080i  and 4K let alone between 4K and overhyped 8K. You have to do a side-by-side on most sources to maybe notice, but as mentioned, the manufacturers provide sources to make it appear most can.

True, DJ.  I learned about that after buying the 4k I've had for so long.  The display tv's picture looked almost 3D it was so sharp.  It's not that sharp at home, but I've been really happy with it.  We had an old Sony rear projection tv that was perfectly square, and  what I thought was a good picture.  The difference between that and the one we have now is night and day.  Watching football games, especially.  We probably won't replace it until they come out with fully virtual 3D in like 20,000K that just plugs into your spine.

I only have a 30" JVC from 2008 and can't really go any bigger right now because of the constraints of the entertainment unit.

Oh, your entertainment “unit” definitely has some constraints.
