Comment: I think it is ridiculous that we can not see our home team play on our home turf. It's insulting and the NFL needs to rectify this situation with Time Warner Cable. from Gorham, ME by Eric

Comment: I think the whole NFL Network and NFL Sunday ticket mess is absurd. In this day and age, with all the technology available, there is no reason why we can't pick and choose the game(s) we WANT to watch, not FORCED to watch by cable and satellite. When folks in other countries can pick and choose the NFL games they want to watch and we can't in the USA, then Houston, we have a problem. by Bud

Comment: if the nfl network continues this way, and all football goes to a pay per view type deal then i guess i will find another sport to watch. by kevin

Comment: You can also see the game on Channel 5, out of Boston. I read it today in the Portland Press Herald, Sports Section. No one needs to worry... everyone should be able to see the Pats trounce Brett and the Jets on Thursday night with or without the NFL Network. from Saco, Maine by Tyler

Comment: typical big cable forcing us to pay for big contracts by tommy

Comment: NO, it's just another attempt by so called entertainment sports teams holding everyone hostage to boost their ratings and bankability. Can't blame cable if the NFL won't allow them to broadcast it; no matter how much we pay for cable. from Westbrook by Peter

Comment: stupid from buxton,me by beth

Comment: I hate satellite, the picture is poor quality, and what annoyes me the most is how cocky the satellite companies are about their service. Cable is the best. from OOB, ME by Mike

Comment: Just another way to squeeze more dollars out of sporting fans to pay for over compensated players and owners..... from Damariscotta by Wallace

Comment: As a transplanted New Yorker, I was really looking forward to this.It almost makes me want to blow off the NFL and stick with the college games! from Buxton/Maine by Bill

Comment: I feel that this is nothing but another ploy from the NFL to get us to switch to providers that have an NFL network. However, they'll lose more and more consumers who don't have, and can't get, these services. For example people who live in wooded areas can't usually get cable and people who rent an apartment can't usually get satellite. from Portland, ME by James

Comment: That is unfair to many loyal Patriots Fans who have no way to see such an important game. from Harrison by Patti

Comment: What a joke the NFL is... they are only hurting the game of football by showing games on a network that few have or can get. Very shortsighted. from me by james
