Re: NFL Off Topic

Yeah I just want a radio broadcast. Friend is recording the game for me.

This might be difficult to achieve, depending on where you work, but can you just stay unspoiled til you get off work and then watch it?

I work night shift and was going to plug headphones into my phone at a grocery store and listen to it.

NFL tells radio stations to block the online stream of the radio broadcast. They have their own product to allow you to listen to games. Most follow that, but if you find some of the smaller stations, usually you can find one.

Happy that the Steelers were the only team to vote against this CBA.

NFL Off Topic

Thank God the suspension was wiped, otherwise we would have had to hear Boston Sports Fans whining about it every single day of our lives for the rest of eternity.

They will anyway though because that's how they are.

Aww, thinking of us again.

Glad you always take the time to express your hatred for Boston fans and their professional sports franchises. I can only imagine if you had a rooting interest in a team that could actually challenge one of ours. You'd be a whole bundle of fun then. But you know nothing about being a part of growing up around and caring deeply about the team's you cheer for. I can see why our passion would confuse someone like yourself.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I know we've heard reports of CBS streaming games, but they confirmed only two for this season: NYJ v. MIA in London (there are 3 games in London this season... who knew?) and NYG v. CAR on Thanksgiving. All will be free to stream, don't even need cable to authenticate. Just Internet.

The BUF v. JAC game (in London) will be streamed on Yahoo for free as well. That's more of an NFL experiment, whereas the CBS streams are more for them. They're also doing a bunch of SEC games streaming for CFB.

I love the streaming option as an out of town Bills fan. Hopefully kinks are worked out as streaming can be iffy.

Re: NFL Off Topic

So is this what people wanted to see?

The new extra point rule had a small but noticeable impact on the preseason.
With the 2015 preseason now in the books, kickers went a cumulative 196-for-210 on the new longer extra points, meaning they made 93.3 percent of their kicks. That’s down significantly from recent numbers in the regular season: During the 2014 regular season, kickers made 99.3 percent of extra points, and NFL kickers have made at least 98 percent of extra points every season since 1994.
But kickers will probably do better in the regular season because the worst kickers in the preseason are going to get cut. Eagles kicker Kip Smith, for instance, missed a league-high three extra points, but he won’t be the Eagles’ kicker during the regular season.
The new rule changes extra points from the equivalent of a 20-yard field goal to a 33-yard field goal. For an NFL kicker, a 33-yard field goal is still an easy kick. So when the regular season starts, the vast majority of extra points will be successful. But the conversion rate just might fall below 98 percent for the first time in two decades.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I still hate that they changed it.

Re: NFL Off Topic

If you really want to change the game put it at 50 yards out.

Re: NFL Off Topic

What the **** is that thing in that gif?

So is this what people wanted to see?

I read that based on the math, teams that attempted to go for 2 (in the pre-season) scored about .95 points per attempt, while teams that opted for the extra point scored about .93 points per attempt, so I guess in the sense that it was mathematically better to go for 2, they did accomplish what they had hoped to? I'm not really sure.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I can only speak for myself but I wasn't for this change. I wanted a TD to be automatic 7 with the option to take 6 and go for 2. This half measure they took is dumb.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I know that I am in the vast minority on this, but I like that they did something to at least make it slightly less automatic. I believe that this phase of the game has evolved well beyond the original intent when the rules were drawn up 100+ years ago. I guess well have to see how things play out now that games matter.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I supported moving it back, but the scores from the preseason bother me.

No doubt the regular season is going to be different. Coaches won't go for 2 as much when the games count because they're scaredy cats. XP's will probably rise a bit with starting K's kicking them but may stay even when the weather gets nastier.

I like an auto 7 for TD but only 6 if you go for 2 and don't convert. It took this experiment for me to realize I didn't want XP's to be harder, I wanted them gone.
