National Football League [NFL]
reviews and complaints

I am concerned that the only way to watch the Miami Kansas City game is to sign up for a subscription to Peacock streaming service.

Football is a national pastime and enjoyed by all income levels and should be available.

Having to pay monthly to watch one game is unacceptable and opportunistic. It puts those who love the game and the fun at a financial and ethical dilemma.

I think you should you reconsider this misguided, opportunistic decision.

Please do the right thing for all fans.

I think the NFL is greedy, streaming of games and making people pay, more than we already are paying is greedy.

I was a long time football fan (60 years). I stopped watching NFL football a few years ago when you started disrespecting the American flag (kneeling thing). I just started watching again this year, and now I will not be watching any of the remaining NFL games and hope there are thousands/millions others like me.

I hope this idea fails.

Congradulations nfl! You money hungry [censored]es have become just as [censored]ed up as nascar! Nobody goes to nascar races anymore bec ause noone cares... Nascar chased the almighty $ and is losing... Average guy can't afford to go to a race or a game... Hell I had season tickets for a team... Won't ever get involved with that again... I would also like to congradulate you on the winning stat nobody kbows about... That is games won by the zebra's, to fit your needs...In clospng I myself will not be paying extra to watch the kc chiefs/miami dolphins game... Enjoy the $ nobody is gonna watch the game... Nice f up!

I am saddened for the players and fans that you did not change the location of the Chiefs Dolphins game. No one should have to play or watch at those dreadfullly low temperatures. It’s not even safe to be playing. The ground will be rock hard and you will bear responsibility for those that get hurt. Shame on the NFL.

Another problem is having to pay to watch this important game on Peacock. Bad decision. As a Bronco season ticket holder this is dreadful!

In the future please make better decisions- no playing if it’s below 30 degrees and regular tv channels that people don’t have to pay for.

I too live in an area where streaming is an issue.

A NFL game should be broadcast on a public television station such that rural area viewers can watch the playoff game.

This pertains to the game being played today, Saturday the 13th of January, 2024.

Given that we have a major snowstorm presently in Michigan, and on top of it without power (at the moment) to our local bar where they have small litlle 31 inch tv's and possibly have Peacock availability, it is unacceptable that the management of NFL attempts to force us to ignore our safety by forcing us to drive to a location where the playoff game can be watched.

Is this revenue really that important to the existance of the NFL corportation?

I think the NFL's decision to make an important playoff game not available for over-the-air broadcast is absolutely wrong, a disservice to loyal fans, and a MONEY GRABBING scheme, forcing Miami or Kansas City fans to pay $5.99 (or more) to watch their team in a playoff game. Fans of the other teams don't have to pay this "FINE" to watch their games.

The NFL has decided to exclusively stream one of the biggest playoff games of the year. Some customers do not have access to high speed internet. Sone customers aren’t savvy enough to sign up for a streaming service. But most of all, why change what was working before? The NFL makes plenty of money. I won’t be buying peacock to watch my favorite team play.

You have to be kidding me ! you greedy mother f***ers putting the KC / Miami game on Peacock, like the NFL needs more revenue. I will never pay to watch on Peacock and I hope many fans feel the same way. We the fans who spend thousands on game tickets and merchandise do not deserve to be ripped off by the NFL’s poor decision to put games on Peacock or any other pay to view offering network.

The NFL wildcard game between Dolphins and Chiefs will solely be on Peacock. Me and many of my friends are retired and do not subscribe to ANY streaming service. Many do not even have CABLE (no ESPN). We watch BROADCAST (via antennae) TV because cable and streaming is TOO expensive!

PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS AGAIN. College football has lost us because Bowl Games are on ESPN. You will lose us as customers and worse yet we lose one of our favorite pastimes - watching football.

I am writing to complain about NFL Games, especially play-off games, being on a pay channel like Peacock. WHY? We pay an extreme amount of money for cable or dish to watch your games and have for decades. My dad watches faithfully. He doesn't have a smart TV or an Ipad or Iphone and he is disabled. Why should he have to watch anything other than regular cable to watch football. Everyone is getting so greedy. Football is for regular tv. Not Peacock and Not Amazon Prime.

NFL is trying to rebound from alot of bad publicity and making everyday consumers pay additional to watch games is rediculous!

The decision to not broadcast the Chiefs vs. Dolphins playoff game on a free station is a huge slap in the face to the fans that support either of these teams throughout the regular season. Many of these folks are on fixed incomes & depend on their televisions as their only entertainment. SHAME ON YOU!

I am fortunate enough that I could afford to subscribe to PEACOCK should I choose. However, there is no way in H#* I will be doing that. As an avid KC fan living in Oregon I follow the scores online. GO CHIEFS! I will always support my team but I will not spend another dollar that goes directly to the NFL. You have made it very clear that fans are NOT important to you. GREED is a choice, and your choice is flat out DISGUSTING.

Since this is the only place I could find to log my displeasure in regard to the NFL granting exclusive rights to Peacock for the KC wildcard game. This is the worst bonehead NFL move yet. Just more evidence that the fans do not matter one bit. More greed and the padding of the pockets of those already so rich they’ll never spend it all.

Change it to regular NBC.

It is bad enough that the NFL gets oodles of money from Sunday Ticket and even had the nerve to put a regular season game on a streaming channel that I have to pay extra for, but to put a PLAYOFF game on the same streaming channel? Clearly the NFl is way more concerned about making a buck than the fans. I am disgusted and i will not pay for the service. I just won't watch. I hope the NFL and Peacock lose out on this.

It is bad enough that you show games on Amazon Prime (I am fortune to be a Prime member), but you also show games on the NFL Network (which cost extra on Spectrum) and Peacock. Now I see that one of the playoff games is on Peacock, which I am not paying extra for. I am a Panthers and NFL fan, but if the NFL keeps putting games on pay networks, especially playoff games, I will stop watching. If money means that much to you, let's see how much money you make when people stop watching because they can't afford paying for all these networks. How many people actually have Peacock, I don't know anyone.

The League Office can continue to put their collective “heads in the sand” and insist that the state of NFL officiating has no negative impact on the integrity of the game, but I can assure you it certainly does. Any unbiased poll taken of sports fans will surely paint you a different picture than the one you seem to hold.

Blaming the victim (Detroit Lions) for the fiasco in the closing minutes of the Dallas game is incredulous! The video evidence speaks for itself & clearly, in the eyes of the public, shows a flagrant error on the part of one official that the Commissioner & League official’s cavalierly dismiss.

The outcome of any game should always be determined by the players, not part time referees!

Mr. Commissioner, the booing you receive at the commencement of the yearly NFL Draft is well placed and deserved!

That was the worse official call I've ever seen I'm 61 years old and they have made plenty.

If the Lions lineman checked in as #70 he lined up wrong and the play should have been stopped by before started. The Coach of the Lions told them before game that #68 was the receiver. This is so ridiculous that the official that made that call should be fined & kicked out of the NFL ! The game should be reversed and the Lions should win ! This is so rigged you should all be sued for cheating !

Why is the NFL broadcasting games only through streaming services? Why do we need to pay money to join a streaming service just to watch a football game. This is outrageous and makes no sense. The NFL needs to re-think this decision as the loyal fans dislike this move so very much! I'm quite sure this is just a money making move by the NFL, but it turns most fans away.

I do not agree with the suspension of players for hard hits. For years, the fans celebrated huge hits by defensive players. Are you planning on making the NFL a flag football league? If so, I am done with the NFL.

Since betting has become normal in this country, many of the games being played look like they are fixed. A couple this past weekend that looked fixed were the Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys games. No calls by the refs for either team even when there were aggresious fouls against them. There were many questionable and non calls against them It looked like some players on the losing teams just quit playing.

After 65 years of watching NFL games in person and on television, I am done. Football is still a contact sport. I personally believe no one is trying to hurt another player. I only mentioned 2 games, but this year it seems like the whole season is rigged.
