How would no football season effect you this year?

Just curious really... whilst talking about GamePass earlier, I got to wondering about would what happen if there was no season this year and then I started wondering about other folks, particularly those who might be used to attending games with a season ticket etc. So, hypothetically speaking, if ...

Yeah, given that I only watch the Bears, that's a little steep for me. Thanks for getting back tho'. Yeah it's pretty steep... but for me it's pretty much accounts for all of my NFL watching!

I'm not using a VPN because I'm in the UK, so I don't need one thankfully.

GamePass International isn't cheap though... £145 for the calendar year.

Re: Mitch Trubisky & General Quarterback Banter

Apologies if it's been covered already, but did anyone hear Chase Daniel on the Pat McAfee Show/podcast last week?

He did not sound like a guy expecting to be back with the Bears this summer...
He didn't explicitly say so, but the tone and what he was talking about certainly made it sound like that.

Re: Wk 7 // CHICAGO BEARS vs NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

My guess would be that the Bears D comes back with a fire lit under their you know whats-its.... But I don't think there will be enough on offense to make it pay off and it ends up a very close game. I hope I'm wrong.

This was dubbing fucking gutting. Props to the receivers for getting up back in the game. Our run game was non existent on both sides of the ball. We could run it, or defend the run. Daniel put the ball in some good spots, but showed that he is immobile and makes dumb ass mistakes! Gutted just becau...

This sucks. Dunno what you guys are seeing on the TV, but here we are being absolutely dominated. There is no run game, Chase is not even seeing pressure let alone evading it. Both the lines are porous and the secondary is soft. I'd be tempted to go with the acclimatisation being an issue because it...

This is the first time I've tried to predict a London game. Raiders are considered the home team, but who, if either, will have a home field advantage? Any opinions on that from you Brits? Having attended 10+ London games, I can assure you there will not be an obvious home team. Every single team i...
