  1. From that link I provided above, it looks like it will be hard for Green Bay to ever play internationally. It sucks they get special privileges: https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2020/01/10/green-bay-packers-2020-schedule-team-unlikely-play-london-year/2848418001/ "The Packers have said they would be happy to play an international game, but not as the home team. They will not give up a home game because, they say, it would have a disproportionate effect on the local economy. A Packers game is estimated to have a $15 million total economic impact, and Green Bay is the smallest market in the NFL. Conversely, opponents have been averse to giving up home games against Green Bay because Packers fans travel well and fill stadiums. NFL rules allow host teams to exempt an opponent from an international game."
  2. If the Bills play Miami internationally in 2020, it will be as the away team: https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article236981771.html "It remains unclear if the Dolphins will be playing in London or Mexico City but the fact is the team, which has historically had a strong international following in both the United Kingdom and Mexico, will be headed to one of those countries as a home team next season." But, if Buffalo isn't selected for that game, that doesn't preclude them from playing another team internationally as a home team. ?
  3. The writer said this: https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2020/01/10/green-bay-packers-2020-schedule-team-unlikely-play-london-year/2848418001/ " Miami is not on the Packers' schedule. "
  4. Teams always get the bye week following a London game.
  5. If it was, he made up for that in the NFC Championship game against New Orleans in 2018.
  6. If we do play Miami internationally, it will be as a road team in Mexico City. https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2020/01/10/green-bay-packers-2020-schedule-team-unlikely-play-london-year/2848418001/ "The Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins announced they will host international games this year, the Falcons in London and the Dolphins in Mexico City. The Jacksonville Jaguars are annual hosts of a game in London."
  7. And Green Bay has never played an international game. This is wrong.
  8. Actually, there were 4 London games in 2017 and 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_International_Series
  9. I just learned that if the Bills do play Miami in an international game in 2020, it will be in Mexico City, not London: https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2020/01/10/green-bay-packers-2020-schedule-team-unlikely-play-london-year/2848418001/ "The Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins announced they will host international games this year, the Falcons in London and the Dolphins in Mexico City. The Jacksonville Jaguars are annual hosts of a game in London."
  10. I don't think Buffalo has a choice in the matter, but I could be wrong.
  11. Agreed, as long as Fitzpatrick doesn't catch fire.
  12. Ok then, you have it bad for NFL game TV time. Not to mention high gas prices and housing. That's the one place where I wouldn't want to live.
  13. I hear you. I had a friend who was overseas in the military. They blocked a lot, and wouldn't even let you click on links.
  14. Where do you live? Like Alaska or Hawaii or something?
  15. Or Steve Tasker from Jim Kelly, for that matter.
  16. I wouldn't go either, because I wouldn't want to be kidnapped by a cartel. It is. Already confirmed by the Dolphins that they will host.
  17. The high altitude would be a killer, but it is closer than London and in the Central Time Zone.
  18. And the thing is we could have had Mike Evans in 2013 in the draft, but instead chose Sammy Watkins.
  19. The Dolphins have confirmed they will be the host of the game either in London or Mexico: https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/miami-dolphins-2020-opponents "One home game will be played in either London or Mexico City."
  20. You're right. I also just learned there is only one week where there is just a 4-hour gap, as the US switches back to Standard Time one week after the UK does.
  21. LOL...good one. Most people don't know about Chong Li! But I do know who The Fiend is. ? #LetMeIn
  22. Ah...got it. Thank you. I stand corrected and apologize then.
  23. Nope. It is 6:45 PM in London now, but 10:45 AM here. So 8 hours difference.
