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 . 😞

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 😞

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.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (4h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (18h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (18h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
