I was livid over the TV coverage here

[links18]

Well, they didn't even show the game in DC or Arizona. This year has had the fewest Cowboys game on the national feed that I can remember in a long, long time--not even after three years of 5-11.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Here in western Idaho, they had scheduled the Bills versus the Patriots followed by the Cowboys versus the Seahawks on the same Fox channel. So if the Bills/Patriots game were to go to overtime, I would understand that they can't just cut off that game to go to the Cowboy game. I get that. So the Bills/Patriots game finishes just in time for the Cowboy game. Cool. I would get to see the game from the start. Not so fast. Instead of going on to the game that was scheduled, they jumped to the Benglas/Panthers game that had gone into OT. I was furious! I don't know why they had to jump to a game that was not scheduled here and interfered with the game that was scheduled. So I missed the the first of the game -- up to the point the Seahawks were up 10 to 7. I'm hoping the NFL Network shows it again so that I can actually see the whole game.

Same thing here in New England. They went to the OT game and I got the update while watching that game that the Cowboys had a punt blocked and the Seahawks were up 10-0. I was beside myself as to why FOX thought that game going into OT was more important than starting the scheduled game on time.

That would hack me off. Here in Houston after the Bills/Pats game they did go to Car/Cinn game until the Cowboys game was about to start then switched to the Cowboys since it was the reg scheduled game.

Yep, but it kept switching from HD to old school resolution every time they gave a stupid weather alert for someone living an hour and a half from me You know, cause its all about me

You folks are so avoiding the solution to your problem. The solution is a SPORTS BAR!

YES! You can see every minute of your favorite Cowboys by finding the nearest sports bar near you! That's right! Shower up! Get dressed! Hit the road! Wait in line! Find a seat (or stand like you bought a Party Pass at Cowboys Stadium)! Dodge other customers and service attendants as they walk to and fro! Got a hearing aid? Tough luck! The volume is preset! Suffer!!! Hate closed captioning? Better pray the owner of the establishment could not care less about the hearing impaired! Have small children but no babysitter? Screw it! Drag them along and sit them in a corner! They will learn why adults act the way they do after drinking a few beers up close and personal! You can't BUY a better education than that!

Yes, that's right, my fellow CowboysZone members! Forget the NFL Sunday Ticket or those semi-legal internet webfeeds to see the game via the Netherlands! A sports bar is your Dallas Cowboys gameday salvation! Hallelujah!

On a serious note, if anyone wants to become a new Directv/NFL Sunday Ticket customer, remember to ask a current Directv subscriber (like me) for their account number as a referral. You could save $$$ signing up and the referring Directv subscriber can save $$$ on their bill. It's a win-win! Best of all, your dry cleaners will not find it necessary to remove the gum, from the seat of your pants, that was stuck to your bar stool, by a Giants fan waddling his way to the restroom, in that great SPORTS BAR down the street road highway interstate ...

I recommend the Sunday from DirecTV. I live in Dallas but I got it for my GF who is a Green Bay Fan.

hence the billion dollar deal.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

I live in Oregon, and all Seahawk games are broadcast on local tv out of Portland. But yes, they showed the Bengals/Panthers game till the finish. Oh well, I just turned on Brad Sham Radio broadcast on the internet.

 

[Breezy]

Same thing in Pa...could not have been more aggravated...then salt in wound...a frickin' tie!!!

 

[mugsybows]

that was my thing. missed a whole quarter of the game for a tie.

 

[Zordon]

In my area we get Every Bengals, Browns and Steelers game.

GRRRRR

It was so bad sitting through a WHOLE overtime period.

silly forest people.

 

[btcutter]

Here in west Tennessee, I was stuck watching the Bengals/Panthers finish. Annoying.

That's what I got on the West Coast in Seattle country! Can't believe it!

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Here in west Tennessee, I was stuck watching the Bengals/Panthers finish. Annoying.

I was as well in Orlando.

Missed the entire first quarter.

Yeah, the Panthers/Bengals were in OT, but the crowd at Cincinnati could not care less about the finish. Thanks NFL for your stupid freaking rules.

Tell me about it! I was so pissed I called the local breaking news line at the fox affiliate and complained. How in the hell do you do that when this was supposed to be the game of the week. The Cinny game was just bonus coverage for goodness sake!

I recommend the Sunday from DirecTV. I live in Dallas but I got it for my GF who is a Green Bay Fan.

I have Sunday Ticket, but when they show the games in Houston, on the local station, it is blacked out on the Ticket channel. Result this past weekend? When a big rain storm moved through I lost my picture with Dallas down deep in Seattle territory (right after the Dez catch and tripping penalty). So, I listened to Sham until the picture came back on. Just in time to see Witten catch the TD pass.

If they left it on the Ticket channel then I could pull it up on my phone or laptop, but due to the blackout I was at the mercy of the weather.

It's stupid that you can't get it online if you're paying for it.

 

[JD_KaPow]

Sunday Ticket - Even when the NWs pull this crap, you can get at least the first half of the good game on the "Ticket" channel.

Not always. Yesterday, they unblocked the Cowboys on Sunday Ticket, but it's happened in the past that the early game runs over but the Cowboys are still blocked on Sunday ticket. Incredibly infuriating.

 

[rcaldw]

Agreed

 

[UDcowboysfan]

I live in cincinnati and they had the cowboys blocked on sunday ticket because it was going to be on fox. They also blocked it on the app, so i had to watch it on the game mix.....i was soooooo angry. You pay all that money and they mess it up.

 

[Fredd]

NE Penna and had to sit through that pathetic excuse of a game....I was watching RedZone a lot trying to catch a glimpse...they did put Dallas-Seattle on quite a bit on there
