Make the teams visiting London have a ‘bye’ week immediately after; send them back to the States on a chartered ocean liner. (on Khan’s dime.). NFL can run those cruises like they do with celebrities. ? * “Look, George, we’re at Jermaine Whitehead’s table! Ask him how he had such a bad game!” Edited November 5, 2019 by Ridgewaycynic2013
SoCal Deek Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 I’m all for it. We had a blast in London when the Bills played there!
gonzo1105 Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 They need to give up on this old rivalries thing anyways with the division realignment. The Bills should be in a division with Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and AFC East Patriots, Jets, Chargers, Giants AFC North Bills, Steelers, Browns, Bengals AFCSouth Dolphins, Jaguars, Buccaneers, Falcons AFC West Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders, Texans NFC East Eagles, Redskins, Ravens, Panthers NFC North Packers, Bears, Lions, Vikings NFC South Titans, Saints, Colts, Cowboys NFC West Cardinals, Rams, 49ers, Seahawks The Colts are really the only team misaligned but they have no spot in the NFC or AFC North

They have no fan base! I don’t want London in the afc east though The NFL cares about one thing- large TV markets equating to increased revenue. I can’t stand the idea of a team going to London or Mexico. The logistics alone are brutal then a million other factors that have to be considered. Is is really sad imo. 49 minutes ago, SlimShady'sGhost said: Buffalo belongs in the east not the Rust belt North / Central / Mid West . Geographically speaking we are in closer proximity for the AFC North- directly above Pittsburgh and due northeast of Cleveland. Baltimore belongs in the East and Miami belongs in the south- geographically of course ?♂️ 1

SoCal Deek Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 What happens if a player’s passport is revoked? Or what if they don’t have one?

Cincinnati can move to the west where they'd play against KC. I’d leave Cincinnati in the North. Move Miami to the South, Baltimore to the East, and Texans to the west. 1

The Bills would never play in the Texans' division. I'm just imagining what it'd have been like to play in the AFC South the last half decade versus the division with Brady in it. Imagining a division where the biggest threat was the Houston team of the last few years - including a team that Peterman and the 90 mil dead cap Bills almost beat. I'm dreaming of a Great Lakes region type division - Buffalo, Pittsburgh/Cincy, Cleveland, Detroit We'd have 10 home playoff games in the next 10 seasons

Antonio Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 As a long time NFL fan from the south border, I will be so angry if London gets a team before Mexico. We have far more fans and I guarantee know for sure all games would be sold out if they alocate a team anywhere in Mexico.

Imagine being in one of those divisions where 10 and 11 wins can get you the win every time, and no team is any more scary than the Texans. We've missed out on so many good moments, fun rides, just because of the freaking division we're in. Particularly since ~2014. It's not ***** fair. Have to look ahead, not backward. Bellichek is getting up there in age, Brady is about to retire. They’re going into the gutter. The AFCE is where you want to be with Miami, NE, and NYJ. Keep the Pats before you get the Eagles with Wentz, NYG with Jones, the Browns with a real head coach, etc. It’ll be fun to knock around the Brady-less Pats for a decade.
T master Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 IMHO i wish the entire london/mexico thing would just go away !! This is an american game let's leave it that way ? !! 1
US Egg Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) After reading about the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which was built with the NFL in mind, looks like its a not if, but when will the NFL have a team in London. Edited November 5, 2019 by I am the egg man

The really interesting story of that stadium is that it was built on the site of the old stadium. It was actually built in two halves around the existing one so they played in the old one the entire season while the first half was being built. Then they knocked the old one down, built the second half, and linked the two halves together. Amazing....but costly!

As I recall, the London Monarchs were one of the first teams in the WAFL to fold. I don't know how to tell you this, but London is one city. 1

That's nice BUT Wembley is a like an English LA Coliseum. Built for Olympic events not NFL games. Too many bad seats to sell. How many "locals" go to game(s), or care about the NFL? For those who do travel from the USA be prepared for the London departure tax buried on your plane ticket. Last time I checked it was in the $160 range.
