Timmy, do you want them to make Sunday Ticket available to all the cable services?

Wouldn't make any difference to me.
Actually, Sunday Ticket is just like cable in that you still have to buy the package, whether you use all of it or not.
There may be anywhere from 4-6 games every season that would be network broadcasts, thus no need for the Ticket. But you are still paying for it, and that just doesn't seem to be a good value.
A $99 buy-in would be a much better deal and worthy of consideration.

My preference would be to have it as a PPV event. That way, you will only pay for what you actually use. But it would still have to be priced for value. IOW, I'm a buyer at $9.99--maybe even $19.99.
At $39.95 or more, it's a pirate stream for me.

100% agreed! Living in Wisconsin and being a Prime member I get every Packer game anyway, and other NFL games I can take it or leave it. At 10 bucks a game I would rent at least one game every week.

Something like $99 for 17 games of your choice (one game a week) or if you don't choose a game to watch it rolls over and you can watch (2) games in a week of your choice.

I'll bet they'd have triple the amount of subscriptions if they did it something like this. Pay per use.

I'm not quite convinced that the Lions are ready for the big show yet, but they could make some noise in the playoffs this year. After sooooo many years of sucking hind teat they finally have a formidable team.

I'm most surprised by how well their D is playing after showing improvement last year.

Totally agree with you.  I knew the Lions were going to be good this year but they’re even better than I thought they would be.  Jared Goff looks like he’s found the fountain of youth after a huge backslide in his career after that Super Bowl loss when he was with the Rams.

I was thinking that I may have to admit the Loins are better than I want to give them credit for.
Or it may be that I have become conditioned to them sucking, and can't picture them as among the 'elite' teams.

Yet I still think they aren't that good, but they are good enough. They're having a lot of success in the middle of the field, creating 2nd/3rd-and-short situations they can easily convert.
That in turn creates the chance at the occasional big play downfield, but they are more lucky than good on those plays.

I'm not ready for it, and don't like the idea of the Packers having to look up at anybody in the weak Central Division, but if forced to make a choice, I'd rather it be the Lions than the $***head Bares or Queens.

Makes me nauseous even having to say that...

It'll be easy to root for DET if they come up against a SF or Philly. They're a solid, well coached football team. Much sooner them than Bares or Queens, definitely.
