Too many take it for granted that naturally all can afford cable packages that include both the NFL Network and ESPN's channels . They assume that sense they pay for expensive cable / internet /phone services , that it is as basic to everyone else as water and electric are . This kind of thinking could not be further from the truth. Some like myself , disabled and on a fixed income , are lucky that the rent includes utilities. It only includes the most basic of cable / internet services (but not ESPN or NFL Network) .

It was for just this reason that Packershome grew in importance to me on Packer's game-day's . The "Chat" offered me a way to get the full view of each game . Now is seems that , that once looked forward to and much appreciated experience is lost in the either . I and others will just have to be grateful for the games that are broadcast on the Fox/CBS/and NBC Broadcasting networks. Also , the "Chat" will become less important to many (and myself) as we move forward.

A return to the previous "Chat" arrangement does not appear possible . Any solid and uncomplicated viewing sites would be greatly and "freely" appreciated . 😞

I'll be sad that the previous "Chat" arrangement is going away... but I'll also understand if their is a good reason for it 😞

Firstrowsports normally has it, though they might be complicated with all those ads BS that might be mare ware of some sort and sometimes complicated.

No matter that the viewpoint's of members vary on many subjects , we need to stand united to help each other to find a way to watch the Packer's games on-line ( at no cost ) . We are grateful for the past help that was provided , but now many of us are left looking / searching for a new path to view .

Any member that can provide your fellow members with a solid , reliable, uncomplicated , and free way to stream GB Games , we need you to step forward and help your forum Brother's/Sister's in this matter.

Thank You

I certainly hope that by "watch" you mean "your fellow fans' reactions to the game in a text-based chat creates a vivid picture in your mind of the actual action".

I have never forgotten that ESPN and the NFL channel are part of packages and not everyone can afford them.
The Thur games are streaming on the internet. I think Yahoo has it.
Personally I get only a few of the Packers games on Fox. Da bares get the local station as a part of their package area.

Sorry. I've had my hands full with two teenage time-dictators, err... daughters and finding a umm supplement has not been a priority. I will look into this more after work today and before my youngest has gymnastics.

Yahoo did stream last Sunday;s game , but I thought that the NFL Network had a tight grip on the Thursday night contest . I would be pleasantly surprised if Yahoo does stream the Thursday night games .
I and others will still be looking for a Sunday game option .

As for Porforis , his post struck me more as a defense of the "Chat" rather than an attempt to come to the aid of this forum's needy . I think that we all know that the "Chat" option is no longer available and that DIRECT OPTIONS can be delivered by PM . The chat can still be an option when the game can be seen by members on their TV's , but that is the problem that some of us are looking solve as not all of us can afford to pay for the luxury of ESPN and the NFL Network that more expensive packages offer .

If you can offer any options , I'll be very glad to read it in a PM if need be.

As much as I love the packers, there's no way I'm paying for premium channels. I've got an antenna for most games and for others, there's bars.
Fan Shout
Martha Careful (8h) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity
Zero2Cool (12h) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.
CanPackFan (15h) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.
buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4
Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills
Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,
Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love
Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension
Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.
Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
