Chiefs v Dolphins
Just noticed that this game is only available on Peacock.
Blasphemy !
I don't have that streaming service, and I never will.
There, now I feel better, having officially registered my disgust over the internet.
Guess I'll watch something else this evening

i think this is a gimmick to get you to spend more than you have to. they are all going to do this.

Luckily, I got a special offer to get Peacock for 3 months at $3/mo. There was another game I really wanted to watch, and figured it would be worth it with some other movies and stuff as well.
As a Fish fan, I'm glad I did.
Then again, gonna be -6 at kickoff with 'feels like' temps of -31 to -36 or so.
Not sure I really want to see my Dolphins score 3 points and lose.
Controlled their own destiny if they would have beat Buffalo at home last week to be the #2 seed. While they would have had to beat Buffalo again, it would have been at home again, and in 80 degree Miami weather. A feels like temp difference of over 110 degrees.

i like the Dolphins today. naturally if the weather was in the 40's i would be all over them tonight. the other game this weekend with a weather aspect to it is the Steelers-Bills game. there are going to be wind swirls there, but i don't think either side benefits more to that weather in Buffalo.

Obviously going to be rooting for the Dolphins, but I just can't get past that shock to the system for the Miami players.
Yes plenty of their players (including the obvious Tyreek Hill) have played in cold conditions many times. However, it is the abrupt change from hot and humid to bitter cold and sucking the soul out of you that is so drastically different in such a short period of time.
Living in the Midwest, there are drastic temp changes from 40s/50s/60s to 10s/20s and it takes a couple of days to get accustomed to it much less being outside and playing a sport for 3 hours that immediate day. These guys will be going from 80 to -30 in a single 24 hour period. Hard to even imagine playing a football game with that kind of adjustment.

the Dolphins have a much better running game, and the Chiefs have been dropping balls all year. maybe they won't drop them today in the cold weather. Tyreek can do end-arounds and be very tough.

We have Peacock
My wife watches a shitload of shows on it (Bravo anybody?)
But I also like it. It’s basically anything NBC owns or has ever owned.
I hate am not a huge Bravo fan……but I like the “Below Deck” Series
Captain Sandy is a bad ass b……

KC: 34 rushes for 147 yards
Miami: 18 rushes for 76 yards
Chiefs: 26
Dolphins: 7
More importantly however, Tua was 20 of 39 for 199 yards and an INT and the Dolphin offense could only muster 13 1st downs to KCs 25.
Afraid there is a very low ceiling for the Fish if Tua continues to be their QB.
Not sold on this year's draft crop, but they should take a serious look at trading and going after Jayden Daniels.

No need to worry about the games that these services are going to throw at you...
For the tech savvy.....
Install Kodi and use a build called "Superman" over it... (Google it)
You will be very happy...

I watched a Boris Karlof movie on Svengoolie.
Peacock, imho, is the worst service.
No settings control for quality, so it freezes continally.
I watched a two hour event that took 3.5 hours to play out.
Hope they had terrible viewers and lost a bundle, dirty bastards.
I wouldn't pay $3 to watch the Super Bowl.

Thanks for the input, with my crappy internet that definitely makes it a no go for me. The best I can stream is 720P and that is only late night or middle of the day weekdays.
