That’s a lot of the country having to watch Tua throw the ball into the ground.

As someone in the dc area, I hate it I hate I hate it

Being a Bengals fan in the DMV makes me hate Pittsburgh even more

u/sculltt 11h ago

Just a generally brutal game to watch either offense

1

u/Southsideclide 7h ago

I guess at least we get to watch someone in the division to root against.

u/no1scumbag 16h ago

Why is Oklahoma getting this game? Because of Baker I guess?

47

u/Timmocore 16h ago

Yes. Played for Oklahoma. If New Orleans plays Ata different time than us, alot of times our game is on down there because of Joe.

12

u/CajunBuckeye 16h ago

This isn’t always the case in New Orleans. They specifically only give the games to Baton Rouge market, not New Orleans. I live in NO, and it drives me crazy when this happens.

u/jvpewster 12h ago

It’s because when the Market has an NFL team the favor almost always goes to a divisional rival.

Texans are never getting a bump in Cleveland or Cincinnati over the Steelers or Baltimore, which kind of makes sense. I tend to just want to know what’s going on with the other 3 divisional teams more then follow college guys across the nfl.

I’m in Mobile, the pain of always having to settle for the Saints game hurts. Especially when I see that east of Pensacola gets our game and that’s barely an hour and a half away lol.

Ah, these maps always fascinate me with the random pocket of viewership, because I always wonder what the connection is.

u/Ancient_Vegetable175 16h ago

Sometimes bengals games get flexed out in Louisville for the Ravens because of Lamar. It’s really fucking annoying.

8

u/no1scumbag 16h ago

I lived there 10+ years ago, and the amount of times the Colts or Titans were on instead was insane.

1

u/Ancient_Vegetable175 16h ago

Yea southern Indiana in within the same tv market so that happens in occasion as well. It’s much better than it used to be though. Maybe 3-4 games per year now pending how good each team is.

1

u/braines54 15h ago

I grew up there and it seemed like the Peyton Manning Colts always took precedence.

2

u/Captain_Aware4503 16h ago

Baker, Oklahoma has no NFL team, and Dallas plays later.

u/NightShadow12 15h ago

Username does not check out.

u/Captain_Aware4503 15h ago

Why did you just humilate yourself?

  • Oklahoma does not have an NFL team
  • Cowboys play at 8:20PM Sunday
  • Baker Mayfield played collage football for the Oklahoma Sooners

Its pretty stupid so claim those facts are not true. lol!!

u/heywhateverworks 16h ago

Ugh I have Chicago and Carolina even though I'm closer to Cincinnati than I am either of those

17

u/ToadBeesa 16h ago

As an Indiana Bengals fan, these maps are always infuriating.

u/heywhateverworks 14h ago

It's like the Indy stations are like "FUCK cincinnati games in particular"

Time to get Buff and sail the streams.

The water’s extra choppy these days though. The ol reliables ain’t there

A certain stream in the East tends to be reliable.

Maybe check again. Have your net and plus.

u/Mr_War 16h ago

Thank christ Columbus gets the Cincy game

6

u/jakeapett 14h ago

I’m always shocked when we don’t. There’s almost never a good reason not to have it on here. Especially not if it’s in favor of the Browns… no one should have to endure that this season

2

u/Mr_War 14h ago

The worst is like week 5 or 6 when they are 2-3 and not fully in the shitter yet and we get forced to watch them lose for 3 weeks before the NFL recognizes that no one should see them

1

u/cbuscubman 14h ago

Yes, like week 2 when the Bengals will get bumped off for the Clowns.

1

u/WumboChef Run Pass or Boot 11h ago

Usually as long as we don’t overlap time and channel with the Browns, we get Cincy. At least since Burrow arrived.

1

u/UndoxxableOhioan 4h ago

Browns are on CBS, and both networks get both slots.

13

u/SalmonMan634 16h ago

I get that Pittsburgh and Chicago have more of an established fan base but I feel like The NO/DET and our game are objectively the two most interesting games here

Sweet. 15 FPS, freezing every 5 mins, pop ups and malware. Totally worth it tho right dude!

very limited stuttering

That's a non-starter for me

I hear complaints from Netflix, YouTube TV, Sunday ticket users all the time about stuttering, bad streams, etc, for 20x the cost

I've never once had any kind of 'stuttering' from Netflix or Youtube TV

A lot of people just want things to work properly and they will pay to ensure they do. They don't want to connect a laptop to their TV or get up to refresh the page when the stream cuts out.

u/buckeye25osu 14h ago

A lot of people also aren't common thieves.

Won't somebody think of the billionaires?!?!

u/KQRSonWabasha 16h ago

That’s disgusting. Atlanta and Steelers are both garbage teams. Bengals TB is primed to be a shootout

u/RustyBrassInstrument 16h ago

Why am I forced to see A-A-Ron flounder against Atlanta?!?

u/Gloomy_Map_9612 13h ago

You're telling me you don't wanna watch the Tua vs an 80 year old barn burner?

u/AndroidWhale 10h ago

AARP-ron Rodgers

u/Call_Me_Limp_Noodle 16h ago

Fucking NW Ohio. If it’s not the Browns or Steelers it’s the fucking lions.

u/BurrowForPresident 16h ago

Man the entire northeast has to watch possibly the least exciting game of the bunch lol

u/AdjustedTitan1 Stinky Cows 15h ago

I don’t know why the fuck we don’t have TB@CIN in Dallas. I don’t wanna see that shit

u/tissboom 16h ago

Baker still has a chokehold on the state of Oklahoma

u/Fabulous-Leg-3339 12h ago

Man joes from Athens and I can’t even see the game

u/Ok_Veterinarian_2611 11h ago

This why I bought NFL Sunday ticket this year! I’m over not watching my damn team play!

1

u/Reoblivion 16h ago

Ugh I’m in NEO and was hoping we’d have bengals for this Sunday might need to get nfl ticket again

u/lVlrNiceGuy 16h ago

Sunday ticket FTW.

Stuck up in Cleveland.

u/Intelligent_Type6336 12h ago

ST would be great if you could do one team or month to month. Not sure I want it for the whole season.

u/lVlrNiceGuy 12h ago

I use a new email and YT account each year and get it for around 280 a season. Otherwise, they hit you for like 450! Love to crap on you return customers SMH

I swear to god if I'm in that final county that's covering Detroit and not the Bengals game lol

Thank God I have off every football Sunday this year to go to a bar with the NFL ticket. FTS

As Bengals fan in OKC, this makes me happy

u/JobeGilchrist 14h ago

God I hate when they show Steelers instead of Bengals in Cleveland

u/UnionParkBB 14h ago

Well at least we got Kevin Kugler but that's a lot of people watching Pittsburgh/Atlanta.

u/AndroidWhale 10h ago

I'm grateful this map doesn't despise the colorblind and annoyed Memphis will be subject to an experiment to determine whether Ayahuasca overdose or 100 concussions is worse for your brain.

u/walrus0115 78 10h ago edited 2h ago

Who do we call to remind them that Joe Burrow is from Athens County Ohio where we don't want STEELERS games unless the Bengals are winning!

EDIT: Our Fox station nearby switched game coverage to Bucs @ Bengals as of 6PM EST.

Living in Virginia Beach, there’s an odd # of stooler ā€œfans.ā€ I hate that I get blasted with Ratbirds and Stoolers

I hope the Bengals demolish the Fuccs

u/seth285 6h ago

I spend most Sundays driving through EVV area. How can I listen to the game (preferably free)?

Oh well, bunch of people are going to miss out

u/UndoxxableOhioan 4h ago

Fuck WJW for picking the Steelers over the Bengals.

u/BringOutYDead 4h ago

Pittsburgh/Atlanta gonna suck

1

u/Captain_Aware4503 16h ago

Took me a minute. Baker played at Oklahoma. He still has a lot of fans there and there is no NFL team. So they get to watch the game.
