I so badly want to watch Packers - Cowboys game tomorrow night and they are showing it live only on freaking NFL Network. Does anyone know any sites where I can watch this game online?

Is this game on a Thursday? Why?
But to your point, I agree. Instead of making me clamor to subscribe to the network, it makes me never ever want to give them money.

Some around these parts do, but most don't.

NFL network wants cable companies to pay them (10 live games a year, plus a ton of filler) about twice as much as they pay CNN (24 hours a day, 365 days a year of live news). I can see why Comcast and Warner are balking.
I'm guessing a lot of bars will be showing the game. They'll be the real winners.

IIRC, NFL Network gets the last 4 weeks of the regular season games for Thursday night football. But I don't know why. Seems like that Packers/Cowboys would make a better SNF game than Pitt/Balt, but who'd have guessed that going into the season.

and I thought with the "flex schedule" in place SNF got first dibs on the game of the week each week. I still don't understand NFL scheduling. In a case like this you've got a playoff matchup half the country can't see.
(I, OTOH, will be watching it in HD, thank you very much.)
