Kirby Jackson Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) I booked my trip last week when the rumors started. I’m glad that it was right. 😬 Edited May 10, 2023 by Kirby Jackson Quote
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 Ugh. I did not want the bye that early again Quote

But I’m assuming they will take it. GB didn’t last year and it didn’t work well for them. (Of course they had other issues as well) Quote

GunnerBill Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 We have been screwed with that scheduling. We get a home game against a visitor who has been in town for 10 days by that point and completely acclimatised. If Jax was going to do back to back games they should have been at home second. 2 1 Quote

I hope you’re right but the vast majority of the teams do. What makes you think the bills will be more of an outlier out of curiosity? Quote
RiotAct Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 Jags will stay in London after their “home” game there, it looks like. 1 Quote
Rubes Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 So the Jags get two games in a row in London, and the second is against Buffalo? That mean they will stay there and be more adjusted to the jetlag than we will be? 1 Quote
vanhalen26 Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 Playing the jags in London is like being the visiting side. Dumb… Quote
Braedenstearns Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 Does this mean we are losing out on a home game? Quote
SCBills Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) No idea why anyone finds these international games exciting. I guess if you base travel around Bills games, it’s something. Jags/Bills, at 9:30 am ET, on the second half of a back to back for Jax, is the most uninspiring part of our schedule (imo). Just all around meh. Edited May 10, 2023 by SCBills Quote

The Wiz Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 There goes Josh being too commercialized again. Quote

I don't think that it is meant to be exciting for Bills fans or even US fans in general. But trust me it is very exciting for European fans, me including. Much easier/cheaper to see your team live. I fully understand why you don't like it. Apparently NFL thinks it's good for business (I have no idea if they are right). Quote
May Day 10 Posted May 10, 2023 Posted May 10, 2023 This is terrible. Sizeable advantage to jacksonville Quote

Just all around meh. If it's going to be once every 8 years I don't mind it for a change of Pace kinda thing but would hate it if it was a regular thing. Last time we played in London my family got together and we did a big breakfast spread and drank screwdrivers all morning, it was a good time. Quote

Apparently NFL thinks it's good for business (I have no idea if they are right). Oh, for sure. I get it from the NFL’s and for overseas fans. I’m more speaking to all our social media teams and team reporters trying to hype it up. Most fans, stateside, just see it as a throw away. For me, the only week less exciting on the schedule is our bye week. And I especially don’t love playing a team who has already been over there for a week. 1 Quote
