posting here instead of sports forum, for more views/responses.

Who is your fave team and if you live where their TV coverage is out of market for you, how will you watch or follow the games?

We have lived in Florida for eight years. Missing most of the Detroit Lions games. Im looking into NFL Sunday Ticket but whew, its expensive. 

Looking at their schedule, I note six of seventeen games that we will be able to see, as they will be on prime time.

Debating whether that will give me my Lions "fix" or do I want to spend big money. 💲

Life would be more convenient if we (hub and I) were big Tampa Bay Bucs fans. But we just cant ditch our home team.😊🦁💙🩶

RAVENS!!!!!

i live in the baltimore area so we always see the games on tv. my daughter and son in law also have PSLs and have tickets to all of the games. 

for other games, we have NFL network and REDZONE. however, they were removed recently from comcast xfinity.....they are supposedly working on an agreement that will allow us to see other games. hopefully.

the three to four that are on on sundays on our "regular channels" usually keep me busy though.

Well I'm in Arizona and we are for the Cardinals. Most likely the worst team in the NFL but we still watch. It's on local TV. They are predicting us to be in last place again but that's nothing new.

hey you're talking to a Detroit fan. The Lions were in the bottom for decades. We were a guaranteed win for even bad teams. The joke was, maybe next season. We still hold the record for the 2008 season when we went 0-16. Fans who attended games wore paper sacks over their heads. 

Welp. One fateful day Martha Firestone Ford died.i think she was about 200 years old or it seemed like it, haha. She had been a hands-off owner as we went through coaches, players, front office staff. But wait! She left the team to her daughter, Sheila Ford Hamp. She is my age 74. Sheila was a fan. Not only that, she knew something about football which i dont think her mom did, enough to hire the right ppl for the right positions. Between her vision and her commitment to changing the culture, we ended up with Coach Dan Campbell and a front office that cared about the future. Sheila made a promise to set us on a winning trajectory and she did. We have had winning records for the past five or so years. Trust me, the fans barely knew how to act. Lol. The goal is to make the playoffs and a super bowl eventually. 

I tell you this so you keep a glimmer of hope for the Cardinals. When the right combination of personnel gets in there, and they will, you will start to see a turnaround.

gonna be weird without Coach Harbaugh. What do you and your peeps think about that?

The Indianapolis Colts! I've been a fan since the Peyton Manning days. I liked Manning when he first started and have stayed a fan of this team. I couldn't ditch the Colts even when Manning went to Denver. 

It was frustrating last year when they started out strong and then had a collapse. I don't have NFL Network or streaming services; am able to see most Colts games on my local channel. When the games aren't televised in my vicinity I can listen on Westwood One radio through the computer. 

Smoochy, my sister and her husband are both Lions fans, so I also follow that team.

@smoochy 

it IS going to be strange and a little sad, but there were a lot of fans that were ready to let go of either harbaugh OR lamar. hoping to see lamar with an entire season of SPARK and maybe minter might be a nice change. we shall see!

No matter the places I have lived in the country, I will always be a Pittsburgh girl and have a place in my heart for the "Stillers."
