I can't stand red zone, I would rather watch whatever complete game is going on than sit there and watch them jump around (not always in real time) to the various scoring opportunities going on. I'd rather watch no football and then go back and watch the highlights later than red zone.

Agreed. The NFL Ticket is incredible...can't imagine football without it. I need to watch the entire game!

crazy talk. an NFL broadcast is approx 3.5 hours. for 60 mins of game action. what are you watching for the other 2.5 hours?
Agreed. The NFL Ticket is incredible...can't imagine football without it. I need to watch the entire game!
NFL Ticket is only worth it if you have a multiple TV setup otherwise you are just flipping back and forth to games which the red zone channel does for you. No Bears game Sunday means I will be watching the red zone for a good 6-7 hours with zero commercials....gotta love it.

i remember looking along time ago and they wanted like 300(?) for season. i thought that was a bit much and i wouldn't pay for it....even if i lived out of market for the bears.

Yeah they bill you during the football season. So most of the year I've got my normal DirecTV bill, but for 5 months it increases by like $50 or something like that.

good friend of mine has an unreal setup in his basement. 12 tvs (a lot of which are old hand-me-downs that have been 'donated' over the years). he has 5 direct tv feeds and the NFL/college fb packages. It is heaven. there are always people in and out during weekends (he's single, no kids). We all chip in money at beginning of year to help cover his expenses. before I got married and became a dad I practically lived there during football season. don't get there much anymore...it's too hard for me to leave.
crazy talk. an NFL broadcast is approx 3.5 hours. for 60 mins of game action. what are you watching for the other 2.5 hours?
Nah, that's crazy talk. You're watching the game. If you watch a 1-0 soccer game, or a good pitcher's duel in a baseball game, is the only thing worth watching that one score, or the one time a batter gets a hit? I know there are a lot of commercials and stuff, and lots of down time, but it's all part of relaxing and watching a game, and when there is downtime you can go get a beer or switch over to see what's going on in another game.
If all you watch is highlights then the entire games might get boring, as you're getting accustomed to only seeing the exciting parts. Part of the fun of watching a game is seeing the whole thing unfold, bad plays and all. If you only see the scoring highlights then you're not seeing many good defensive plays (unless the defense scores) and to me that's not football. Red Zone to me is football for people with short attention spans, or gamblers who are more concerned with their bets than watching a game. It serves a purpose, it's just not for me. Watch the whole movie, not just the trailer.

well, we disagree. I watch a ton of football. I think the NFL product sucks, so I have trouble watching just one game at a time. with all the commercials and stoppages for replays, ref conferences, etc it's easy to get bored. the best part of NFL sundays is the action as a whole, not just one game (unless it's playoffs)
and yes, I am a gambler. I love being bounced from game to game. I do the same thing with the remote anyway. it's like you're watching multiple games at once (I also have my laptop up so I can follow along and know when to flip to a game if something is going on)
IMO the prime time games are the worst. Fine now since there is still baseball on to flip to, but once the World series ends the prime time nfl games are brutal. my favorite is touchdown, commercial, kickoff, commercial. you can go 10 minutes without seeing a play from scrimmage.
It's not about just seeing the scores in football. for me it's more about avoiding all of the non-action that is so common in the nfl. baseball and soccer are continuous action. not as much reason to flip channels
About the Sunday Ticket price, as mentioned Free is for new D-TV subscribers. Regular Sunday Ticket is now $199. This gets you every game in HD. There is also a Sunday Ticket Max. This gets you every game, RedZone channel and the ability to watch games on your phone / PC or whatever. This will set you back $300+.
That being said, I've had Sunday Ticket since '99 and I haven't paid their full price in quite some time. All it takes is a phone call and usually you can get 50% off

Well in your case, the Ticket is absolutely worth it. I plan on a similar setup when the fiance and I buy a house out in the burbs...still 2-3 years until that happens.
