I've followed for a few years now but haven't landed on a team, support Carlton in the AFL if that has any relevance but got no idea who to support as I'm not from US

need advice on how to watch the game

please no hate, i’m genuinely wondering if i’m overpaying for my streaming service to watch the games. i’m decently tech savvy but I’ve been watching football for the past 3 years and the whole “out of market” thing can confuse me. I moved to Pittsburgh and I refuse to miss a game. I started with Fubo (said all games were available), then moved on to Youtube NFL package (worked for 1 game just like Fubo), now i’m subscribed to the youtube NFL package and youtube TV and i’ve been able to watch every game. the problem is i’m paying $170 a month. i’m fine with paying that because I really believe in this team and love my football sundays. just wondering if anyone knows how i can watch for cheaper. thanks! also ftp 💙🤍

I do remember the COVID season and having some games being postponed, like the week 5 game with the Bills & Titans being postponed from Sunday to Tuesday, and Baltimore at Pittsburgh being delayed three times before finally being played on Wednesday in Week 12.

The fact of the matter is that there are some obvious cons. Like scheduling, especially when other sports like the World Series, NHL, and NBA, and health. But I did want to hear other people’s perspectives, considering that all things considered that season, the league did a decent job playing all games.

In the NBA if you don’t play a single second it doesn’t count as your rookie season. JJ McCarthy isn’t playing this year. Assuming he plays next year, will that be considered his rookie season?

Do QBs ever become known for having a particular "tell" that smart opponents can spot before certain plays? Is this something that helps separate great QBs from the rest?

On the SNF broadcast they mentioned that Flacco is older than his head coach. That got me to thinking, is this the first time in NFL history this has happened?

With the advent of young head coaches seeming like a relatively new thing and QB longevity greatly extending recently, I wanted to know if one of the stat heads on this sub had any info on whether this is a first?

Why dont they ever try a high kick for onside. Im a ex rugby player and always wondered why dont theybever try an up and under or as we call it in ireland a garryowen. Could u get it high enough from a kicking tee

I saw that for the past 2-3 seasons, almost every team in the NFC south finished with a 7-10 record (except the panthers). If something like this happens where every team finishes with the same record, how does the NFL determine who won the division and gets to go to the playoffs?

I'm fully aware of the OPI/DPI, but say for example, a pass is tipped and goes up in the air, can a player under the ball be pushed out of the way to stop them catching it? Essentially what I'm asking is, can an interference be called after the ball has been "touched"?

Hello all just curious on a rule. Growing up, I always knew that if you get out of bounds, then the clock stops and you have chance to make a play. But in a lot of games I’ve been watching, I’ve watched players get tackled out of bounds or just simply go out of bounds and the clock keeps running. Is there a technicality on it or is it not a rule anymore? Thanks

Hi All, I’ve always liked watching football but only recently started to get serious about watching it. I bought an antenna and everything.

My team is the Chicago Bears. And every time something does not go as planned, if feels like everyone is cursing Eberflus. There is also apparently some drama between him and the players that I do not know much about.

My question is, let’s say the coach orders a certain play. Can the players just say, “no we are doing something different?” Is that straight up not allowed or just highly discouraged?

I was reading about Al Davis and everything he accomplished for the Raiders and the NFL in general earlier. Amazing story! It got me thinking about what a mess the Raiders have been most of this millennia with his son taking over. I know there's more to it than just bad ownership but it seems like a total 180 going from Al to Mark.

Feel like I’m taking crazy pills here.

I’m trying to watch Rams at Seahawks right now on my phone.

I pay for NFL plus Premium but whenever I click on the game in the NFL app it first says I need NFL Premium but then I click sign up and it says I already subscribe to NFL plus (knew that) but then it says I need Sunday ticket?

The app/website clearly says local regular season games.. I don’t understand

I remember when there were games on all networks and one could find a decent game. Today, there was one 1 pm game between the Saints and Panthers. Two of the worst teams in the league. And there are NO 4 pm games on. It's been this way all season. What is up with the NFL?

I have tickets to the Saints Packers MNF game Monday 12/23 at 7:15. It says it's a flex game. Is there anyway to get insight as to if they will flex the game? Also if they did flex it back, would it be Sunday at 12 or the 3 slot? I'm flying in 12/22 for it but land in Milwaukee at 10:30 so getting to the stadium by 12 would be crazy.

This always confused me, it seems like an overreaction to call a timeout on first and ten or whatever to prevent losing 5 yards, then at the end of the half the team doesn’t have as many timeouts and seems like that puts them at a way bigger disadvantage

Apologies for the silly question, I'm relatively new to NFL and am trying to wrap my head around the Overtime rules, one in particular being that both Teams must have at least one attempt at posession.

I get that if the receiving teams from the kick off get a TD on their first drive OT is over

What happens if the 10 minutes of overtime expires and the other team hasn’t had a fair opportunity to complete a drive as outlined by the new overtime rules.

• So Team A kicks off, Team B Receives starting their possession
• Team B then run the clock down and Score as time expires
  • Team A has never been given the opportunity to posess the ball and have an attempt at scoring/returning the ball.

Presumably players who go on to specialty positions in the NFL were among the 1% best players in highschool. Does that mean they were probably put on QB and didn't specialize until college? I can't imagine a highschool coach putting their best player as a punter for example unless they were an amazing punter

I’ve heard they have won the most regular season games since 2021 (I think), so is it possible to come back from 5 defeats in 8 games, or have they left themselves too big of a mountain to climb?

Would this be mathematically possible? Who would have the tiebreaker? And Has anything close happened in reality?

I am just asking myself about a technique that could be used, but i am not sure about the legality.

My does the kicker not lob the ball like they do in soccer? Its definitely possible to do it over a range of ten yards and the time in the air gives the players more time to position themself properly. Its makes it also possible to jump and fight for the ball. Is it allowed?

I’m trying to watch the Eagles game but have moved to Texas so I can’t get it on paramount+ since it’s not local. Would nfl+ have this game?

Edit: I found a link and was able to watch for free, all parlays hit and Eagles W. Thank you guys🙏

Jack Jones had a pick six where he anticipated the pitch, was able to run through unblocked and snagged it. He did it last year as well (maybe Thanksgiving?) why does he seem to be the only guy who goes for this?

why would my local cbs, in a major city, choose to air a syndicated program instead of one of the many nfl games on the network? am i wrong to think any nfl game would be better ratings wise?

If a player catches the ball in the air with the ball clearly over the end zone line, but before they can get 2 feet down they are pushed out of the end zone by a defender, then come down inbounds but the ball outside of the end zone, and never re-enter the end zone, would that be a touchdown or would it be down at forward progress after they got 2 feet down?

Looks like there are lots of games on right now - which one should I watch if I want to see the top teams play?

I'm hardly an NFL noob, but I just saw a play that raised a question for me. If a pass receiver catches a ball while jumping just inside of the end zone and then the defender hit forces the pass receiver outside of the end zone upon landing (say to the 1 yard line) is it a touchdown? Obviously if the receiver is forced out of bounds on the hit, it's incomplete, but this scenario does not involve out of bounds. Basically does a receiver get forward progress from the point of the catch or where they first touch turf?

Inspired by the Bo Nix TD catch on the Philly special vs Baltimore. Nix was not forced back out of the end zone, but the tackle coming from another angle could have done it.

Like would the defense have to return the ball from where it sits on the field?

I remember a play awhile ago where Philadelphia blocked a field goal, and since the ball was still in bounds they were able to pick up the loose ball and return it for a touchdown.

So when is the ball considered a live ball on a missed field goal in bounds? Does it make a difference whether it's blocked or just missed? And so forth...

Brian Robinson Jr. is out today (game time decision). Does he still get a game check for this week?
