I watched the nationally broadcast game Saturday and enjoyed it. Sunday I noticed - no game on CBS. CBS was supposed to carry all their games? Then I looked at their website. CBS Sports Online, and -- drum-roll of doom - NFL network. Like I'm gonna get dish, and pay for a bunch of **** I don't want, just to subscribe to the **** NFL network. I did get the game on CBS Sports Online and - no announcers, no graphics, no down & distance posting to the screen, no chatter from announcers about who is whom. Only the stadium announcer you normally couldn't hear. It seemed like the camera was being run by a computer program. Who were the coaches of the two teams I'm watching - no idea! The auto-pilot (?) camera was showing wide-angle shots of massive amount of empty seats, that's a terrible thing to do! I watched highlights the next day and there were announcers, screen graphics, things you'd expect. I guess to get "real" coverage you have to subscribe to Dish and NFL network. Not happening! Very disappointed. I was thinking of driving down to San Diego for a weekend and going to the zoo and taking in a game. Not now.
Maybe these were first-week issues they're going to address, but if game are only available on NFL network, I think they've sunk themselves. :(
