I just hope the Bills don't have to play in one of these international games. They never seem to do well in them.

I bet the Dolphins request the Bills play them in Madrid so they don’t have to worry about Bills fans invading like they do every year.

 

Too bad Josh’s parental rights over them extends across the globe.

Are the Jets the "home" team in London. They might request the same thing. Now that they won't be the offseason "champions" with the Rodgers experiment blowing up in their faces, they are in for a tough year next year. Bills fans represent a large percentage of the crowd at MetLife when the Jets have a bad team or are not hyped up like they have been the last two years.

Gotta be Houston - they love to use week 1 as a like "previously on the NFL" type situation where they can showcase rivalries or rematches.

I could get interested in Steelers v Bills in Dublin.

We have to play in one every two years or so. Better this season agains Pittsburgh in Dublin, as the road team, with less of their fans present.

I hope that doesn't happen.  I've already been to Dublin, but never a Bills game in Pittsburgh, which if the schedule shakes out right, I was planning to do this year

I hope we never have to in the regular season. The preseason I have no issues with.  I just

see no reason for any team to have to sacrafice a home game, If you can't fill your stadium the team needs to move

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

No to Hotspur, that field is an injury waiting to happen.

[May Day 10]

The team has as favorable of a travel schedule as I can remember.

 

Id like to keep it that way.  

 

 

Id also like them to stay away from the dubious laying surfaces (although whats worse?  Tottenham or Met Life?)

[Kirby Jackson]

So the Bills COULD play the Jets or Browns in London. They COULD play Miami in Madrid or Pittsburgh in Dublin. Unless, I’m missing something and the opponents have been announced for any of these games, an international game is on the table. 
 

If that happens, I strongly recommend making the trip. We did London a couple of years ago (our first time in Europe) and had a great time. It was such a surreal experience to see the world with Bills fans.

I would Go see a game in Brazil just for the women alone. I bet the players run through that country

I have been to Dublin and Carlow for work but the wife would love to go. I was working in London when the Bills played there and had a blast with the whole setup that was put on by the NFL. I expect it will be equal or better for the first game in Dublin.

As much as I dislike the idea of the international games, it would be a fantastic excuse to get to see Dublin. The wife would support that whether she could join me or not.

Yep, to see a Bills game (My wife and I travel a lot, so it's not like a Euro trip is a one time thing)

[frostbitmic]

Sucks for the Chargers as Bills fans know. Having to give up a home game is unfair to the team having to do so.

 

To balance everything out, the league needs to play 16 International games a year. Then every team would have 8 home games, 8 away games and 1 neutral site game a year.
