I was so mad. I get why they do it for ratings but you have the most popular team in the nfl and I doubt outside of Minnesota, very many people switched away

I have Sunday Ticket too, but they didn't lift the blackout for me. I was pissed because it was blacked out because it was on locally, but when they flipped the game to the Bengals they should have lifted the blackout here on Sunday Ticket.

I ended up watching a stream someone posted.
If that happens again, you can put on the mix channel 701 or 702 and continue watching. It's a smaller screen but better than nothing.

Anyone else mad we didn't get to see the game in its entirety.

:thumbdown::thumbdown:
not surprising when our game was an absolute blowout and the Steelers Bengals was close in the 4th. Fortunately for me, I have 4 TVs in my sports room and had on, at that time, all 3 remaining games of the day. That is what having 5 fantasy Football teams will do to ya....lol

The ability to watch my beloved Cowboys without any special services was one of the reasons I moved to DFW. I never have these problems of having to worry about the network switching to somebody else's game..

I’m finally going to my bucket list game- Thanksgiving! Can’t wait and at least this game I can watch til the bitter end.
Go Boys!
I never understood why people leave so early, even during an zz whupping. PAid that much money....just sit back and enjoy all the way through.

"gotta beat the parking lot"

No... ya don't. In fact it will be MORE fun if you let THOSE kinda people clear out first.

This is 2 weeks in a row not having the opportunity to watch a full game. Last week I had to watch the full overtime period of the Bills-Vikes before they switched. The Boys game finally came on with 3:12 left in first period. Granted I didn’t miss a score but yesterday’s b.s. leaving the game in the middle of the 3rd is NOT acceptable.
Shouldn’t we have an option?? Put the game on a “sister” channel or something?!?!
I get the other game....if there's an overtime....see it through. EVery game should be "seen through".

That's some high level decision there to pull the Cowboys plug. Can't have the Cowboys be seen doing so well.

I say it every week it's all about marketing and entertainment value.

That game turned into a runaway and they couldn't get it under control no matter how much they tried to manipulate it with the refs even to the point of making our kicker try to kick another 60 yd field goal that he made so they gave up.

Guaranteed some bean counter had announced to the league how many people had turned off the television because it was a runaway so they switched to something else.

Nothing's legitimate anymore it's all about the money.
Players should know you can’t let it get close enough so the refs can manipulate
