Too many take it for granted that naturally all can afford cable packages that include both the NFL Network and ESPN's channels . They assume that sense they pay for expensive cable / internet /phone services , that it is as basic to everyone else as water and electric are . This kind of thinking could not be further from the truth. Some like myself , disabled and on a fixed income , are lucky that the rent includes utilities. It only includes the most basic of cable / internet services (but not ESPN or NFL Network) .

It was for just this reason that Packershome grew in importance to me on Packer's game-day's . The "Chat" offered me a way to get the full view of each game . Now is seems that , that once looked forward to and much appreciated experience is lost in the either . I and others will just have to be grateful for the games that are broadcast on the Fox/CBS/and NBC Broadcasting networks. Also , the "Chat" will become less important to many (and myself) as we move forward.

A return to the previous "Chat" arrangement does not appear possible . Any solid and uncomplicated viewing sites would be greatly and "freely" appreciated . ๐Ÿ˜ž

I'll be sad that the previous "Chat" arrangement is going away... but I'll also understand if their is a good reason for it ๐Ÿ˜ž

Firstrowsports normally has it, though they might be complicated with all those ads BS that might be mare ware of some sort and sometimes complicated.

No matter that the viewpoint's of members vary on many subjects , we need to stand united to help each other to find a way to watch the Packer's games on-line ( at no cost ) . We are grateful for the past help that was provided , but now many of us are left looking / searching for a new path to view .

Any member that can provide your fellow members with a solid , reliable, uncomplicated , and free way to stream GB Games , we need you to step forward and help your forum Brother's/Sister's in this matter.

Thank You

I certainly hope that by "watch" you mean "your fellow fans' reactions to the game in a text-based chat creates a vivid picture in your mind of the actual action".

Smokey I believe porforis is telling you that's illegal. And pretend to talk about it.

I have never forgotten that ESPN and the NFL channel are part of packages and not everyone can afford them.
The Thur games are streaming on the internet. I think Yahoo has it.
Personally I get only a few of the Packers games on Fox. Da bares get the local station as a part of their package area.

Sorry. I've had my hands full with two teenage time-dictators, err... daughters and finding a umm supplement has not been a priority. I will look into this more after work today and before my youngest has gymnastics.

Yahoo did stream last Sunday;s game , but I thought that the NFL Network had a tight grip on the Thursday night contest . I would be pleasantly surprised if Yahoo does stream the Thursday night games .
I and others will still be looking for a Sunday game option .

As for Porforis , his post struck me more as a defense of the "Chat" rather than an attempt to come to the aid of this forum's needy . I think that we all know that the "Chat" option is no longer available and that DIRECT OPTIONS can be delivered by PM . The chat can still be an option when the game can be seen by members on their TV's , but that is the problem that some of us are looking solve as not all of us can afford to pay for the luxury of ESPN and the NFL Network that more expensive packages offer .

If you can offer any options , I'll be very glad to read it in a PM if need be.

As much as I love the packers, there's no way I'm paying for premium channels. I've got an antenna for most games and for others, there's bars.
Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (3h) : Merry Christmas!
beast (11h) : Merry Christmas ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ
beast (19h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
