    As good as those alternates look, I honestly don’t think the Chicago Bears stand to benefit consulting the Virginia Cavaliers about advice relating to any facet of football.

      The Bears have worn orange alternates pretty much every year for a while now. First time with helmets like that though.

          Idk why, but the Bears do not pull off the orange well at all. Broncos, Bengals, The U, Florida..all have some sort of [emoji91][emoji91][emoji91][emoji91] orange jerseys but them Bears orange unis are always trash.

            Like I said before, teams either went to the alternate/throwback or black route. Bengals's White is good because of the white tiger tie-in. It feels like a lot of these teams have black alternate jerseys, so they went with black helmets. I don't expect all the teams to take advantage of the 2 helmet rule this year. Tampa Bay is doing the Creamsicle uniform next year, and nothing else makes sense without forcing it. That's how I feel about most teams. Unless they are going the Alternate/throwback route, not much makes sense.

            Looking at the rest of the teams, only thing that makes sense if they go the throwback route, but even then they would've have had to have throwback uniforms approved last year. Denver, Tenn, Seattle, (Excluding Eagles and TB) makes sense if they want to go fill throwback uniforms. But what's a team like Steelers going to do, go yellow lol. For a lot of the rest of the teams, I can only think of them just trying to force it.

              Steelers wore yellow helmets for years as their alternate before the one helmet color rule.

                  Unless it's throwbacks, the Bears are too iconic for alternates, it'll never look right

                    Somehow the current ones are 10x better than these ones they wore in 04.



                    I still wish they kept these throwbacks in the rotation though.

                      NFL+ launched today.

                      NFL+ gives you the freedom to watch LIVE local & primetime Regular Season and Postseason games on the go on your phone or tablet.


                      Plans:

                      NFL+ $4.99/mo - or - $29.99/yr
                      • Live games and more, on the go
                      • Live out-of-market Preseason games across devices
                      • Live local Regular Season & Postseason games on your phone or tablet
                      • Live primetime Regular Season & Postseason games on your phone or tablet
                      • Live game audio (home, away & national calls) for every game of the season
                      • NFL library programming on-demand, ad-free


                      NFL+ Premium $9.99/mo - or - $79.99/yr
                      • Get the added benefit of game replays so you can watch on your time
                      • All NFL+ features along with:
                      • Full game replays across devices (ad-free)
                      • Condensed game replays across devices (ad-free)
                      • Coaches Film


                      Was given Game Pass as part of my season tickets previously, hoping that extends to NFL+ but not holding my breath. Would think bump in participation figures it might provide could help efforts to bundle it w/ Sunday Ticket streaming rights.

                        That is not a bad price for that NFL Premium.

                        They’ll definitely get my money for that.

                          Think you’re in luck. From their FAQ’s section:
                          “Your existing NFL Game Pass Monthly subscription will automatically roll over to an NFL+ Premium Monthly Subscription with no additional action required from you.”

                          I see this will let you watch local and national games on your device. I’m wondering if this will replace that ability on the NFL app (free). My guess is yes, as that seems to be a decent draw for the service.
                          NHL - Philadelphia Flyers
                          NFL - Buffalo Bills
                          MLB - Cincinnati Reds

                            Can confirm. I had a yearly subscription to GamePass for the past couple years. Just logged into my account on NFL.com and checked my subscriptions list. It now shows that I have NFL+ Premium Yearly at $79.99/yr which is just fine by me cause I was paying $99/yr for GamePass.

                            Only issue I see so far just poking around to see what's different when I went back to the 2009 and 2010 NFL season games (which is as far back as you can go) a whole ton of regular season games only have Full Game replays available and not the condensed and All-22 versions and quite a few say "Coming Soon" on them. Seems like they're still working on things as once I got to the 2011 games I started seeing "All Available" as far back as Week 17. All postseason games for all seasons back to 2009 are up though.

                              So is that not on smart TVs? It says live games are on phone and tablet. My yahoo app already had the ability to watch games that aired on local channels and it was free.
