Interesting, I was seeing the exact opposite in my Twitter TL from all the American NFL fans I follow. Saw some complaining that it was constantly buffering, but most were saying it was the clearest they've ever seen a game. Comments like "Dayum, Amazon brought out the good cameras huh ". Sounds like they're using higher quality, 4K (or better) cameras for their games. Perhaps that's why so many had buffering issues.

The Prime feed last season on my TV was vastly superior to any non 4k sports broadcast I've seen in Telus equipment. It was so good I wouldn't watch TNF on cable.

Flipping back and forth from the Prime stream to the cable feed was quite eye-opening.

I haven't seen/used DAZN.

It was available last year. Bell must have complained.

Herbert has fractured rib cartilage, per Staley. Chargers have him listed as "day-to-day."

Better than broken but that's still painful.

The buffering was mentioned as an issue and some mentioned out of sync audio and blurriness. I went back to the game thread and some did mention it looked better than broadcasts so it sounds like at the very least the Prime feed was real 1080p which is better than most TV broadcasts that are 720p. Sounds like it all boils down to their internet feed and TV equipment.

Confirmed Jameis Winston has 4 fractures in his back, but is playing...behind a leaky OL, against one of the better D's in the league.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Be fun to see what lateral/downgrade the Colts make next offseason at QB. Ryan isn't going to be any better than Wentz, if at all.

[Sainters7]

It's still very early, and I'm really not feeling good with the offence the way Winston and the OL looks, with only a 3 pt lead...but nobody has Brady's number like Dennis Allen. Shut him out last time they played, and halfway through the second quarter that's still the case. And between offseason personnel changes and injuries, 4 of Saints top 5 DBs are new this year. It actually blows my mind.

[N-E-B]

Jags put on a clinic in the first half. Trevor Lawrence looks great. Would be nice to see him get going.

[KelVarnsen]

Commies look very bad

[Sainters7]

Brady frustrated and whipping tablets around, but the Saints offence looks even worse.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Frank Reich's seat getting mighty hot.

[Sainters7]

Mike Evans is such a punk lol. And this game is starting to get dirty. BoA style vibes to it.

[Sainters7]

Brady going right at Lattimore's replacement. As soon as he (weirdly IMO) got ejected I knew it'd be trouble.

This game can end any time, so frustrating lol. I'm too hung over for this

EDIT: Good on Winston trying to tough it out through that injury but I've seen enough. Bucs coverage has been solid all day, but Winston has also been terrible. Easily the worst game I've seen him play in NOLA

[DropIt]

Jameis Winston is truly awful

[Sainters7]

I don't blame him too too much for that last one because all he can do in that situation is force it, but overall he's been terrible today. If he's truly that injured too, you have to start Andy Dalton next week.

But at least that pick 6 saved me from that game, it's officially Redzone witching hour time.

[Sainters7]

Oh wow Dolphins. And now Jets! Some awesome finishes today

[Senator Clay Davis]

Jets recover an onside kick lol, NFL feels more scripted every week with the insane drama.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Lol Browns.

[KelVarnsen]

Lol Browns
