i guess the bucs are not in hd this week.

If you have E* with Dish Home be sure to check out the Fanstasy Sports section where you can perdict who will win each NFL week. It will even keep track of your picks for you each week. It can store up to two people and you can see how to do against the computer. It's one of the few things I like on Dish Home. I have a contest with a buddy of mine to see who does the best.

i wonder why cbs is not showing more game in hd.

CBS has not spent the money recently to upgrade their HD network when it comes to distribution of NFL games across the country. Apparently it is quite expensive to do. FOX only started to do regular season NFL games in HD last season. Before that, FOX hardly did any thing in true HD. They used to do a couple key NFL matchups in "enhanced widescreen" but it wasn't in HD. It looks a lot like MLB in the Saturday FOX game of the week, because they still are using "EW" for all of their regular MLB games. Now, after a big investment, FOX is capable of doing up to six NFL HD games on Sunday. Last week, that had two games not in HD because FOX broadcasted eight NFL games.

New England at Carolina looks great on CBS

 

[styxfix]

I bet we will see FOX change San Francisco at Philadelphia to another game real soon since it's already 28-zip early in the 2nd qtr.. I can't believe they wanted to show this game to so much of the nation. It's a very perdictable blowout. Let see, a team that won only two games last year (worst record) against last year's NFC superbowl team at home. I know, it must be T.O. against his former team, ooohh the drama!

 

[Sean Mota]

Panthers got lucky... That was not a touchdown.. Don't know why NE did not challenge it!

 

[korsjs]

did TO do any good celebrations after his touchdowns?

 

[Ceas2182]

I wish TO and McNabb were in the 49ers. Damn 49ers suck. LoL Let's see what the Chargers and Raiders do...

 

[Sean Mota]

Brady had such a bad game so far. First time I have seen this...

 

[bryant]

Ugh! My local CBS should be showing the Packer game right now! Their schedule and the map above confirm this. Instead they are showing the Denver game, AND the Packer game is blacked out to me on Sunday Ticket. What a Sunday!

 

[Sean Mota]

The Jets are wining in SD. Maybe they only play good in SD!

 

[BFG]

The Bucs kicked some pretty good ass with my Real HD view at the stadium. Woo that was fun. I look like a tomato now but still fun

 

[cdru]

What the heck is up with Manning and his receivers. It's two weeks now that they hasn't been themselves. In my fantasy league, Brees was worth 3 times what manning was. Not that I'm complaining that the Colts as a team are winning, but I wonder what's the deal is. Sure the Ravens and the Jags have decent defenses...but I was expecting more though.

On a similar fantasy note, I wish McNabb would play slightly injured for the rest of the season. Nearly 350 yards and 5TD definitely makes me feel good.

 

[Sean Mota]

I could not understand why DirecTv would black out the later part of the Giants NY game while Dish Network was in the clear.

 

[rockaway1836]

OTA went black also. When it happend on D I switched over. OTA came back on in SD.
