You’re spot on. I pay enough to YouTube TV for NFL games. I wasn’t paying any more for this one.

I absolutely hate that sports, especially the NFL, is getting locked behind streaming services. Football is my favorite sport, but I will not pay to have every streaming service to watch games. I know I’m probably the outlier here. It’s decisions like this that will promote illicit streaming of the games. Take something that was free and put it behind a paywall and people will find a way to get it for free again.

I’m a believer of “illicit streams.” It gives you the ability to watch any game and you still see the ads, so to me it’s still revenue for them. They’re just getting super greedy.
I watched a stream in the UK to get those wildcards. Was it perfect? Nah, but it’s cheaper and you get way more bang for the buck.

I don’t even really watch football and I’m pissed about this.
