Like what? The players don't have to worry about anything except play football. Everything is done for them. Equipment and uniforms packed, charter flight so no waiting at the gate and boarding by zones. Bus meets them upon arrival and takes them to a nice hotel. Free meals. Now the workers for the team have some extra work to do but nothing they can't handle. Please explain the 90% that I'm missing. 

the euro tax filings are going to be a real problem

If I drank coffee I'd try with some Irish Cream.

I wonder how good Thai Tea would be with Irish Cream rather than creamer.

Gotta love the bills losing a home game

 

Awesome. 

 

League just loves making things as difficult as possible. At KC, At CIN, At PHi, and one less home game.

It just shows the NFL hates Buffalo and the Bills. How do they expect this team to fly all the way to London and play a football game? It's never been done before.

Fly? I've heard Goodell is going to make them row.

The Bills have lost more home games to Mother Nature than they have to Europe. 

[Just in Atlanta]

The last time we played them, the Jags won at home for the first time in two years by beating us 9-6 in an epic battle of the Josh Allens. 

 

With Urban Meyer at the helm, Josh Allen was the leading passer (264 yards), tackler (8), interceptor (2) and second-highest rusher (50 yards).

The wrong Josh Allen won.

 

I fully expect the right one to win in London this year.

Why are they taking a potential "good weather weekend" away from BFLo!

 

***** that London noise. Why can't this be later in season! 

 

I don't like it one bit...

You guys will say the same thing my wife says to me when I say: "I will stay outta your hair."

 

Her reply: "My hair thanks YOU!"

I trust you know this is all in good fun. In life you have to pick things to get upset about. The Bills playing a game overseas twice a decade is way, way, way down on my list. And I’ll easily trade it for adding back that fourth preseason game we suffered through every year.

Not when $$$ is involved.  Give us  a premium back then. Even if it is twice a decade.

They are taking advantage of the fans and profiting. 

 

When PSLs kick... Give cash directly back.

So now we’ve veered into the NFL being a business and not some sort of local community nonprofit recreation league? I thought everyone already knew that….but I guess I was wrong.

We are cool for this year.

 

It's all the same. They are building an open air stadium and taking potential good weather games away and profiting. The act is getting old. At least give the paying home patrons a reach around. Not a home December game. 

 

I am not necessarily pro-dome... But do this EuroTrash marketing in November and December, not early October!

I understand your concern but neither the world (nor the NFL) revolves around the Buffalo Bills home schedule. I believe they like to get these Europe games played BEFORE weather and travel become issues, and BEFORE the games become more critical later in the season. And finally obviously BEFORE holiday travel conflicts get in the way for fans.
