NFL Week 17; Christmas-style on Netflix

[shadow_operative2.0 16325]

Chiefs (-2.5, 44.5) at Steelers, noon.

Ravens (-6, 47.5) at Texans, 3:30

 

Let’s ride. 

[4th&Five 42081]

I have to decide if I want to go to the effort of signing in and out of Netflix on my parents TV or just watch on my phone until I can escape back home. 

[Dewey 3337]

[Red Five 41853]

A fight between a senior citizen and a douchebag went off without a hitch, so I'm sure this will as well. 

[AbeFroman 3182]

Uhh what was that penalty for?

 

[Stunns38 3816]

BS penalty on Xavier

[Lurch 5953]

I couldn’t tell. Must be gun related?

Seriously wtf? What am I missing here?

Mimed having a gun in his waistband I think.

X gets his TD... but helps cost them the extra point by holstering his hand

If so, that's terrible. No.Fun.League strikes again.

[wood 11790]

If you have to have the announcers explain why it was so bad, then it probably shouldn't be a penalty in the first place.

[AUS-97HORN 12108]

that was a big hit.  lucky bounce

[immamac 44494]

No issues on this stream so far. Maybe no one watching? Lol

[PittsburghTiger 6485]

They are showing here on the local CBS.

Unfortunately, I am watching.

Like I have said before I think the Steelers are good but, not really elite or a playoff threat. I think they will lose this one and have a good shot at losing to the Bengals in the season finale. I think they are getting to their true level, 10-7 or 11-6.

TD, Chiefs.

I think there is a Harry Potter Marathon on USA Network……..

Who the heck is Justin Watson ?

[Txslnghrns 1376]

I assume this is Netflix foray into seeing how much interest there is in live tv. (Thanks captain obvious) Coupled with the Tyson bout earlier this year and now another live event. Just another data point to make sure the servers can handle it. This feels no different than if I was watching on NBC, CBS, or Fox. Advertisers obviously have bought in. It feels better than Amazon’s effort.

Football related: KC looks to just reload year after year. X is gonna be a force. Now you look at this Watson character playing the Kelce roll. As long as they keep Mahomes upright this wagon could keep rolling for another 5-7 years.

Wish nfl would start calling chiefs right tackle for not lining up correctly

Or for holding….anyone

[Txslnghrns 1376]

Welp….

[dcar00 15123]

ha.  that was so soft but Chiefs so need to protect them.  NFL is hilarious.

[Helobious 9843]

Chiefs games are fucking unwatchable with the ref favoritism. 

[PittsburghTiger 6485]

Wow, TD called back for a Hold. Then, Russell throws an INT in the end zone. Bad.

[AbeFroman 3182]

Hands like concrete

Yup, here in Pittsburgh, on KDKA, the CBS affiliate.

[Underdog 29294]

Probably doing OTA in local markets.

Happens with TNF too 

[Txslnghrns 1376]

So how does this work? Did Netflix pay CBS and the NFL to stream this game? Are the announcers on Netflix just watching the game from a basement somewhere with a green screen behind them? What the hell is going on???

[Firemans4Horn 18553]

I really like the camera quality. Clean look to the game.

or  maybe neflix realized they needed a shitload more capacity and brough 400+ new servers and storage units online

Pylon shot was super clean…

[DigDug 1738]

This is some kind of documentary of a broadcast of a game.  Waiting for the narration to kick in.

[Firemans4Horn 18553]

That DB had no chance of covering Worthy.

Narrated by AI John Facenda

[AUS-97HORN 12108]

its amazing how many pharma commercials end up with the main character ending up playing in the street band they were listening too

[Underdog 29294]

Hard to believe John Facenda isn't in the Pro Football HoF. 

[SameSame 1764]

Noticed it before, why is there a big Mexican flag hanging up at Steelers games?

[randomhorn 2350]

Because people from Mexico root for Los Steelers?

[DDD Dad 14675]

Live Netflix sucks.

My live stream keeps pixelating. At least I’m not getting the spinning wheel like during the fight last month. 

[TexasHooch 5320]

My Netflix won't open.  Is it me, or Tyson 2.0?

 

[AbeFroman 3182]

This is a sketchy halftime crew.

[randomhorn 2350]

It’s a sketchy broadcast crew too

[ChiTownDoc 21363]

Of course RG3 would call a Ferraris F40 a corvette.  Lulz

[elfenix 34839]

Apparently hitting quarterbacks on the shoulder pads is roughing nowadays

Quarterbacks named Mahomes.
