NFL Network Condensed Games - Excellent



The NFL Network has not caught on that well in central Ohio. At least one carrier (WOW) doesn't actually give you the Thursday night games when you get the Network. You need an additional subscription to get the games. Which is ridiculous and one of several reasons I dumped WOW a few months ago.

My carrier (Insight) doesn't offer the new RedZone Channel. I imagine several others around here don't either.

Perhaps where you live, the NFL Network is a little more accessible and easy to watch. That was just to preface the following info, which may be blindingly obvious to you:

Every week, the Network takes four games from the previous weekend and rebroadcasts them in 90 minute condensed versions, with additional sideline footage. They transition with graphics like "Two plays later," when they jump ahead.

I'm new to the Network this year and hadn't seen these condensed versions before the Steelers - Chargers game. These 90 minute versions are very good productions and well worth watching.

Last night (they begin showing them on Tuesday evenings) they had New Orleans - Miami and the Steelers - Vikings.

I think the NFL Network is a matter of taste (I hate the Eisen/Irvin/Sanders studio team), but the condensed games are great, especially if you aren't in the Steelers' primary market.

NFL Rewind on NFL.com

Is also a good option. It costs about $40 for the whole season, but if you have the bandwidth, you can watch a web rebroadcast of the entire game (sans commercials) in fairly good quality (they claim HD but I cant endorse that level from what I have seen). It’s my primary backup plan for catching Steelers’ games this season since I am preparing to deploy and never know what my Sunday mission requirements are.

Just a thought for you to consider…

Thanks

It look slike they’ve cut the price down to about half since the season is so far along.

NFL Network - NFL rewind

The nice part about the rewind is you get the sideline commentary , the pregame trash talk , and they breakdown the key plays. Last year the Steelers were on about 10 times because as Potsie said " every weeks a 5 star matchup because we’re in it"
