On Friday, the Eagles and Packers will kick off the second game of the season in a Week 1 matchup in Sao Paulo, Brazil. However, many fans are complaining about the same thing regarding the broadcast.
The game will be streaming exclusively on Peacock, meaning many NFL fans won’t be able to watch it. Of course, that’s the trend the NFL has been following for a while, but many have gone online to voice their opinions.
“No matter how hard the @NFL tries to get me to sign up for @peacock it will never happen. Moving games to Peacock and Amazon prime is so stupid,” one comment said about the Eagles-Packers game.
“Streaming on Peacock only???? Hell, no, NFL. I’ll just watch the SMU v. BYU college game on the Deuce. Hey, NFL, if you were looking to give us a reason not to watch the game, streaming only was it. See ya Sunday,” another said.
“I am done with the NFL and Roger God All! I will not buy subscriptions to Peacock or any other service to watch the NFL! I am 67 and been watching football on TV for 60 years for free! I will pay for jersey’s, hats and tickets but won’t pat for TV!!! GREED!!!!” a third added.

It seems as though many fans won’t be tuning into the Eagles-Packers game specifically because of this.
Eagles-Packers Matchup Could Be A Playoff Preview
The NFL seems to have considered the options long and hard when deciding which two teams to field for the first-ever NFL game in Brazil.
Many believe that both of these teams should be playoff contenders and Super Bowl hopefuls with a serious shot at winning it all.
Considering both teams are in the NFC, this could become a playoff preview.
