Our family is enjoying thanksgiving and are all here and agree that is extremely unreasonable of the nfl to charge consumers to enjoy a national sport, which historically was family entertainment and costs incorporated under basic network tv and/or cable.

Sitting around the fire after dinner and watching football with family was enjoyable growing up. Tonight could not watch the denver / kansas game after eating and are watching some other program. For years this has been part of our holiday and today we were told by our brighthouse representative that they would not subject their customers to such costs and would not promote some nfl package and thursday night extra deal. We all agree and are outraged at the nfl and the monetary benefits they want to gain from consumers on something that should be included at no charge.

Our cable bill today is $175 per month, which is $2100 a year. Now, do you think that it is unreasonable for a customer of any cable company to ask that these games be included at no charge. I am really disappointed in the nfl. The change in business strategy from decades ago up to this date. The nfl does not realize what they are taking away from our young adolescent viewers, parents, consumers, sports fans, etc... Including but not limited to the happiness that have taken away and what we as customers really perceive them as... A greedy giant that wants more money.

Please be the voice for us, we are too small and unless we pull together, they will continue to nickel and dime consumers... It is very sad, especially when I look into the living room and see all the guys in my family upset and the little boys come out in them as if they were just gut punched because they cannot watch a simple game on tv and a game that was once enjoyed and all had a passion for and historical salaries compared to the salaries today clearly show what football has become. Somebody better do something.

I think pittsburg should be find for the CPR moved that the players did on the field today 1/8/23. NFL did such a good job for the Bills Player and now you get this piece of [censored] from them when everyone is still praying for the player.

You statement regarding Damar Hamlin speaks volumes of how woke the corporation has become. "Our thoughts are with...", not our thoughts and prayers. Thoughts will do absolutely nothing for Damar, prayers will.

Wow did Green Bay get a present. The NFL had time to think about this. Just another screw up on them and fans being disgruntled. Scheduling Seattle game prior to Green bay. Article even states "it's about the money for advetisers" not what's fair. Good job NFL you MESSED UP AGAIN! You are totally PATHETIC and lost another fan.

NFL writers say nothing about how officials maybe placing bets on games and then assisting in the outcomes. Just look at the Giants vs Commanders game.

Obviously, the officials wanted the Giants to take home the win...

Why in the world would you not air the Chiefs game today? It's so upsetting that i can't watch my team...why does this happen every year it's getting very old NFL! Quit having only certain places to watch the NFL games. Make ever game available.

Towards the end of the Chiefs/Seahawks game they switched over to the Giants/Vikings game. This is idiotic. The guide on the tv says the Chiefs and Seahawks and it SHOULD STAY THAT WAY. We don’t care anything about this game, it makes no sense to do this. Missing the rest of that game really ruined it all.

Can Amazon please remove the pictures of the announcers from the bottom of the screen? It's so annoying! The picture are partial converting the score, and you cannot see the time clock. What is the purpose of this? All the other weeks the pictures were not present. The point is to hear the announcers, not see them constantly.

18Dec2022 Why are the Houston Texans not being thrown out of the Game vs the Chiefs? They have already done about six 'lowering the head and leading with the Helmet Tackles' ! Severe Injuries could result !

I live in Oklahoma City. Why am I being forced to watch KC, a team sure to win their division play the worst team in the NFL?!? The Lions / Jets game has playoff implications and would be so more more fun to watch. At the least that game needs to be flexed. This would be for Week 15, December 18, 2022

Don’t let CBS cover NFC games. Those donkeys just changed from the Cowboys game to the Steelers/Bengals game. Which is not the scheduled broadcast game for my area.

Isn't it someone's job to have CONTINGENCY PLANS? Whoever is in charge of the entire debacle, and specifically in regard to ticketing: should be FIRED IMMEDIATELY!

Please go back to cable channels. My Dad is 88 years old and misses watching football on Thursday night. He’s 88 years old and lives in an Assisted Living Facility. He doesn’t stream and cannot figure out Prime in his room. Please don’t go the streaming route - you’re leaving out the generation that made you what you are.

You’ve killed the game by excessive delays on challenges. I’m watching Sunday games and the offenses are moving the ball and 5gen a challenge comes to kill momentum. Replays TV clearly show the call on the field is correct but it took over 4 minutes to get the call. Ridiculous. It’s worse in the NCAA.

Instead of showing messages on the rear of players helmets with phrases like:

Inspire change

Black lives matter

AND ALL THE OTHER CRAP!,,,

How about?:

Fund the police

Support the military

I no longer have access to games I paid for on 8/8/22 I've been streaming until 10/19/22 now I get the message "can't find my account" So the previous 500 request only 7 were resolved. No a good number for a company that is dependant on fans.

If I get caught speeding and drinking and driving can I be on your Thursday Night broadcast? You guys wonder why the NFL has gone South! Marshawn Lynch? What an example you guys set! I’m done with the NFL!

I have a subscription to NFL plus, my name is Robert Trout, I live at 1678 Monroe St., Laramie. WY 82070. On my computer, I sign into NFL plus but I when I go to listen to games all I get is offer to buy another subscription. Which I already own. Signing out and in does not change, I still cannot listen to games. Please fix.

The streaming quality of football on Amazon Prime sucks.

I've changed the channel and missed the game each of the first three weeks.

Put the games back on cable

The NFL is still advertising that one can WATCH NFL games on NFL Plus. One cannot do this. One can LISTEN to NFL Games on NFL Plus.

Please note that today I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission about what I feel is internet fraud being perpetrated by the NFL and its streaming service NFL Plus.

As a result of the NFL trying to charge me to watcht the game on my 4" cell phone as opposed to my 40 inch TV, ROTFLMAO.

I'm already paying $150 a month for cable. Heads need to roll.

I have also deleted th NFL App from my phone.

Bernie Harrison, unhappy about the GREED.

Many of us still depend on broadcast TV. Some of us because spending money on technology rather than food or rent makes no sense. The NFL is an American tradition. It seems as though you care nothing about the entirety of the American people. Just the ones who can line your greedy pockets!

It’s unbelievable the NFL chose Amazon only in the U.S., to broadcast the Thursday games. We can’t watch it in Canada! This is so unfair. We’ve been watching football for thirty years! How dare you do this to us!

Really disappointed NFL. No other way to watch?! I have Amazon Prime, but like a lot of people, my internet is too slow to stream and now way to improve the speed without spending a lot more money on internet. You just said goodbye to a lot of viewers.

So disappointed that Thursday Night Football is only on Amazon! We've been Football fans for 30+ years and have never heard of such a thing to have to pay for a streaming service to watch a game! Having to pay $15/month or $139/year to watch one game a week is a disgrace to your fans.

Sunday, NFL ZONE

The Banner is not needed on the NFL Zone, it’s in the way of following the current information of game being featured. And it’s a distraction. The regular NFL channel has all of this information. Come on man, give us a break. Let us focus on the games.

I can only listen. Why can't I watch. NFL.com are scam artists. Let me watch, or refund my money! You need to let me know what is happening before I initiate a lawsuit. You will reply immediately
