I don't follow college football. NFL is the big(ger) draw than college football, ergo - if anything college should be brought over to Sky rather than other way around. Horse leading the cart and all that.
Absolutely... Sky show like 5 games, uninterrupted by studios over taking the games, on a Saturday night, daily update shows and discussion shows, highlights and games during the week....LOL, no chance. Keep it on BT.

Ummm... they are showing the Packers at the Jags. At 1pm ET...
Not as their main late game though. Fox seem to show Dallas a fair bit in this slot!

Does it matter what time they show it? You said you were more interested in seeing the Packers and the Jags - well you can, they aren't stopping you because they're showing both.

Lot's of people whining here about Sky's coverage - I never watch a second of it. Redzone - all the action and no ads!

But there seems to be no option to record it this year - is it going to be available or what?

Looks like Kev's gone, replaced by Dara Kennedy. Neil survives though.

Pointless segment with Cadle in a pub in London with some fans... Roving reporter now it seems...

I see Sky STILL haven't gotten the basic grasp of where to put the Sky Sports onscreen logo!
And that the NFL, like nearly all US sports organisations, are still incapable of running a world-feed without the host broadcaster crap on it!

Don't know if it's on Sky's end or the NFL's but the picture breakups on RedZone are getting really annoying.

So Fox continue their love in with the Dallas Cowboys and will be showing them v the giants as their late game. I understand why they do this as the Giants and the Cowboys pull in ratings, but I'd be more interested in them showing the Packers at the Jags.

All the tv games and announcers are here: http://506sports.com/
Interesting to see the breakdown of which states are showing which matches on CBS - how does it work in the US with the late game (in this case the Seattle game) - it's flagged up as the CBS game in a number of states - does that mean these states don't get a CBS live game now (in the 6pm UK kickoff times)?

Also, in the US can you subscribe (via cable?) to see all the games - including those normally blacked out in that area - or is that only with NFL.Com (which is £140 for the UK)...

I hope Sky keep RedZone on Sky Sports Mix this season, it's good to have the option to be able to record it, rather than being stuck behind the red button...

That's right because this week is FOX turn for a double header. They alternate that every week.

..
Those stations that show a 4:05pm game won't show a 1pm game. 4:05 games are games in the west coast of mountain time zone which aren't in the 4:25 'game of the week' slot.

I think you can subscribe to all games bar the games featured on your local stations via the Direct TV Sunday ticket in the US. Many people won't be able to get this though as direct tv isn't as popular as cable tv AFAIK

The coverage really does need a shake up. The analysis has never been great, but the Bryant TD (non) catch earlier which boiled down to "Oh, who knows what a catch is these days!" really does take the biscuit.

Kev Cadle is a superior presenter to Dara, so I've no idea what Sky are playing at sending him to a half-empty pub to film possibly the most pointless segment they've ever shown.

You may say that about the analysis but at about the same time in the DET v IND game a completion was challenged at almost the same time as the Bryant one and one of the American analysts said almost the same thing

RedZone was clean on the US feed so it must've been at Sky's end.

It was breaking up every few minutes at first but they fixed whatever was going wrong after about half an hour and it was perfect the rest of the night.
