UK TV BLACKOUT?

With the new NFL season almost upon us ,us oversea NFL fans find ourselves in a position where we have no NFL TV coverage of the sport we have all adopted and taken to heart. Up to now we have had fantastic coverage ,over the past few years we have had double headers on SKY and then C4/C5 with SNF .The MNF has been on ESPNUK and the Thursday games have had SKY showing them.We have even had 5live extra with radio commentaries on games.
Now with season about to get under way we have NO official games in the UK .We don't even get Total Access any more. Alister Kirkwood was on TV last Winter telling us how the UK was planning to go even more NFL friendly and talked of a UK based  franchise. I feel now the hushness/secretness, call it what you like ,  of the whole situation is now starting to get the UK base rankled .
Why is being left so late to be announced one way or another? I hope they are not planning on showing MNF on another PPV channel as being rumoured. We know its not legal but are we going to be left with dodgy streaming only or is all a crafty ploy to get all overseas folk to sign up for Gamepass on NFL.com.
Going back to how it was would be a step back in time and a kick in the punters for us UK fans. How many remember what it was like Pre internet.We had a hour of highlights from the week before and sometimes if the wind was blowing hard and in the right direction and the weather allowed then you could listen to US Forces radio.

CMON DUDES GET IT SORTED ,WE WANT TO KNOW WHATS HAPPENING!!!!!!!
