What Went Right & What Went Wrong

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Looks like it's nothing major with Kendre Miller and he should be back for the season opener. We can still use a camp body at RB for the final two games, however. Twitter...

I said to my wife that the way they kept attempting to run him up the gut, only for a lineman to whiff a block every time would end up getting him injured.

But yeah, tuning in and watching Derek Carr throw a TD, just for Trent Green to say "how fast the LB was" that just got beat was mind-numbing.
I think moving to DAZN was a definite downgrade to the Gamepass.

Because of the time difference to Finland - I usually don't watch games live. Previously Gamepass would cut all of the commercial breaks from the archived games, but DAZN doesn't bother with that and just leaves them in. What is even worse is that DAZN doesn't show the original commercials, but instead just plays generic NFL visuals with grunting and cheering in their place.

Also the quality of the streams seem way worse and I did read from somewhere that DAZN uses 1080p broadcasts which it then converts to 720p to save on server costs - 720p in 2023 is just unacceptable when the broadcasts should all be in 4K.

And don't even get me started on the default video type being the highlights when you start an archived game, so if you're not quick enough to change the type to full game when the video starts - you could be in for spoilers. Also, joining a live stream doesn't have the option to start from the beginning, but instead it just goes to live action and you have to manually rewind the stream to the start.

I'm seriously thinking of cancelling my subscription, but I just haven't found a viable alternative if I want to keep things above the board.

It's crazy that NFL talks about expanding the game to international viewers and then gives us this minimum effort crap.

Sorry for the rant guys...

Re: What Went Right & What Went Wrong

1st team looked great. I'm concerned about our O-line at this point.
