Watching on fire stick, and I also had horrible stream quality as well for a few minutes, but it’s completely cleared up and looks fine now. The delay definitely sucks for game threading, but otherwise I’ve really had no complaints about live sports since dumping cable back in august. Today was the first time I encountered any picture quality issues .
Everyone is streaming this game, so everyone is delayed approximately the same amount. If you're streaming and people are watching cable, streaming is definitely delayed, making game threading nearly impossible, unless you want everything spoiled.

Cable is always at least one play ahead.

Yeah indeed. It was the one drawback of streaming Pats games this season, having every big play, good or bad, being reacted to a minute before I’m seeing them. I’m assuming the Sox will be the same. Will miss the game threads, but not enough to go back to Comcast.

If you’re in NE, get a cheap OTA HD antenna. It’ll be better quality and you’ll be ahead of the cable stream.

I’m not a big XO guy, does Shanny run old Hogs Redskins type plays? I don’t think that was a counter trey but it reminded me of one.

I’m an old guy who had to be held, and told everything will be ok when I cut the chord. I CANT make another change!
Yup, basically rabbit ears As Luckiestman says. You don’t even have to mount it (mine‘s just lying on the floor). You can stash it in a cabinet and just hook it up on gamedays.

“Let it rip, they’re living in Arizona dude!” Was worth tuning in to scout talk

In a dog-eat-dog league, Nugent seems to have a stranglehold on the AZ placekicker job. He's just what the doctor ordered.
It had been a real free-for-all.
I can't believe I can't pause, fast forward or rewind, Football sucks if you can't pause, rewind, or zip through commercials.

It's okay -- the Cardinals paid them back in stupidity by not trying the 65-yard field goal on the last play.

All the Browns' receivers (the top 4) are out tomorrow against the Jets, except for one scrub, I think. They are elevating their practice squad WRs. So they will have 3 WRs in the game. Either going to be a debacle or the Chubb and Hunt show.

how do you get this to load? My amazon menu only has spanish and national broadcast options that I can find
What app/streaming device are you using? You have to bring up the menu and click the "audio and commentary" option. It's not under the subtitles.

That’s brutal. It’s only a fumble because of the helmet to helmet.
I don't see a helmet to helmet.

And they didn't change the call. Lol. That's amazing, his leg was parallel to the ground and down.

And I'm rooting for SF. But that's just dumb.

SF has been hitting late all game. They have been pounding on the Cards. Refs finally called one.
Yeah, that was a questionable call in isolation (contact was barely after the whistle), but the official obviously has seen the 49ers pushing the envelope and is mindful that the defender came in low on the other team’s best player. I’m good with it.

Hopkins was pushed back 3-5 yards and then that dude came flying in, from the other side. It was definitely the right call.

Good job by Murray finding the open man, but it’s a TD if it’s not underthrown by 5 yards.

Yes, it felt like intent to injure was there.

Larry Fitzgerald about 120 catches behind Rice now. He's got 52 this year. So, AT BEST, he'll get to 60 this year. He would need two years more of over 55 catches, at age 38 and 39.

He probably will not get there, but what a career.
