Based on todays tweet expect the Bills to play in October and it is very possible it is against the Jags. 

This cannot be true.  Jags are scheduled to play at Wembley (instead of one of their home games) and the Bills are scheduled to play at Tottenham (instead of one of our home games).  Unless the Jags are playing 2 games in London, they cannot be our opponent.

Remember, it was in England.  Hughes needed one of those 'high drama' reactions to the hold in order to be recognized by the obviously EU influenced refs. 😁

 

 

 

The bad news then is that Brexit has made everything worse.

But you can't bowl at Tullys.

The idea of the Jags playing multiple games in London in a year has been mooted before. It wouldn't shock me. And it wouldn't shock me if the NFL ballses this up by having a "road team" who have been in the country two weeks play a "home team" who have been there for 48 hours.

Being a Jags fan must really suck.

Luckily their existence is only theoretical and has never actually been proven in real life

 

And I lived in Jacksonville ~ 10 years ago.  They were easily the 10th most popular team in town, behind Florida, FSU, Miami, Alabama, Auburn, and probably 5 more pro teams

We host the Jags this year so they have to come to us. It has been rumored Jags would play their home game and then be "at" the Bills the following week or vise versa. They have not done that yet but this year may change that.

To think, the fans really wanted Tim Tebow to be their franchise QB.

I still have nightmares of the massive uncalled hold on Jerry Hughes on the Jags' game winning touchdown. He only strangled him with one arm in fairness and the NFL was desperate to sell the Jags as relevant. So no flag. Obvs. 

Not the ridiculous PI on Roby-Coleman that kept the Jags alive?

I think the NFL would rather expose the UK fans to one more team rather than punish them with another Jags game.

 

It's like "First prize, a weekend in Rochester. Second prize, an entire week in Rochester."

 

JUST KIDDING, I'm from Rochester too although I moved overseas 33 years ago.

The Bills didn't exactly cover themselves with glory in that draft by picking CJ Spiller when we already had Lynch and Jackson

 

But at least we didn't pick the gadget QB that everyone KNEW would suck in the NFL

They are building a good team around Lawrence. Being a Jags fan now has to be pretty good.

I've been to Batavia. No one can afford a trip there. It changes you.

Khan doesn't care.  Lots more tarps in the storeroom.

Why in the world would anyone go to Batavia? There’s no way you can see Tottenham from there. If you ask me, it’ll be a waste of both your time and money.

This is probably the most pedantic post I’ve ever read on this forum. 

That is quite a word you used.  Never heard it before.  So I looked it up.  Nothing wrong with a little crankiness.
