Neither I nor anyone else is throwing mud at you or blaming you in the least . The point is to deal with the reality of the situation . This thread is an attempt to directly deal with this situation on our own .
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.

I've detailed this rant many times before, but why is it okay for a Bar to show a game to dozens of people whom they profit from but not okay for someone to stream a local feed for a few dozen non-profit-from online buddies? I don't think THAT is the issue. I think the issue is more on the lines of that local feed viewed by dozens turning into hundreds, turning into thousands, turning to tens of thousands. Either way, if we're watching the game, why does it matter how? Why should someone in PA be forced to watch the Steelers if they prefer Packers? Equality my ass!!! haha

As much as I too love to view and drink at Bars, if I and others could afford such an extravagance ,
then also I could afford to upgrade my media services. That would then make this thread unnecessary .

I'll try Zero's solutions and check Yahoo as well , perhaps one will work without having to jump through to many hoops first . I will see or not see tonight .

Not sure about your local stations, but my local CBS station will be having the game on tonight.

Other option if you have Amazon Prime you can stream the game. If you don't have Prime already, you could sign up for the free trial, and cancel it since this is the only packer game on Thursday this year I believe.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

You are spot on , CBS will be showing the game . Who Knew ? Thanks !

It still leaves the problem to a future early Sunday GB game. Never too early to solve a problem though .

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.

According to NFL.com, Thursday Night Football is being carried by CBS, NFL Network and Amazon Prime Video Stream

And now think I remember Tony Romo said he was gonna call the Thursday Night Packers game as well.

Fan Shout
Mucky Tundra (48m) : *winning MVP
Mucky Tundra (1h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning
Zero2Cool (7h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.
Zero2Cool (7h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022
packerfanoutwest (7h) : pro bowl
Zero2Cool (7h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (7h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.
packerfanoutwest (7h) : it was always after the SB.....
beast (17h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago
beast (17h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?
packerfanoutwest (17h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii
TheKanataThrilla (18h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
Mucky Tundra (18h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (19h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (19h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (19h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (19h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (19h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (19h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (19h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (19h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (19h) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (19h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (19h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (19h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (20h) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (20h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (20h) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (20h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (20h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (20h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (20h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (20h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (20h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (20h) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (20h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (20h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
Martha Careful (20h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
Mucky Tundra (20h) : this game is over
Mucky Tundra (20h) : This might be the kill shot here
Mucky Tundra (20h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop
TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Philly DL has come to play
TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
