Know anyone in college? $100 for DirecTV for students. I'm in year 5 of 9 straight years having kids in college.

You can get Sunday Ticket for free every year if you're a current DTV subscriber.  Just call them and ask. 

On that note, I just moved to Texas and have the DTV page open in another tab, getting ready to pull the trigger on installation.  I have never had much luck with random streaming sites in the past, and I prefer to watch the games on my TV versus a phone or laptop.

Been in this boat for over a decade now. It sucks but I just go to bars every week unless we're on tv locally here in Boston (got both Bucs games cuz of Brady last year...). I don't like streaming and certainly don't like messing around with sh*tty illegal streams. Thought about looking into a VPN or location changing thing to get a legit stream that is reliable and works but just haven't put the effort into that. Hopefully next year DirecTV loses their monopoly on non-local NFL games and I can get all the Panthers games on Comcast, like I get the Canes and Hornets games. But for now still just stuck going to bars, the unfortunate reality.

The NFL needs to invest in being able to just subscribe to individual teams game packages.  I would be all for paying 100 bucks or something just to be able to watch all the Panthers games outside of NC.

Netflix (and possibly other streamers eventually) is starting to purposefully block access to users who utilize known VPN IPs to cut down on the geofencing workarounds.

A couple of years ago,  Directv and my local Fox channel had a pissing match going and I couldn't see my local channel.  So I went to my computer, pulled up Fox Sports, and hooked my computer to the TV and watched about 8 weeks of games that way. When they were on CBS or ABC, I'd watch the local channels again.

Locast and vpn will do it.

The thing I don't like about locast is that if you don't pay for it, you have to re-sign in every X minutes to maintain the connection.  On the other hand, it's a (reasonable, free, and supposedly legal) solution to live-watch something when the cable company/local station has a dispute.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
