That’s actually disappointing.  A trip to Dublin would be absolute crack.

 

I was thinking the same thing especially after London. I guess London and Madrid are still on the table.

It's spelt craic.... It's a Gaelic word. But yea Dublin is a cool city. Best pub city in the world IMO. It's expensive (even for someone used to London prices) but it's worth it. The Guinness is like velvet in liquid form.

While the full schedule doesn't get released until May doesn't the league announce the international games schedule earlier than that. March, April ?

Last year both were released on the same day, May 15th.

I think Madrid is on the table. I don’t know anything regarding that but based on the process it makes sense. The NFL asks home teams to protect 2 games that they don’t want to give up. The Steelers have picked the Bills and Packers. The league almost always abides by their wishes. I would think that the Bills are one of the 2 protected Browns games but not sure. I COULD see a scenario where Miami doesn’t want their stadium overrun with Bills fans, especially for the beatings that they typically give them. I do not know if the league/host city/both make the call on who goes. It just, in my head, may make sense for Miami to be open to it. Yes, I realize it’s giving up a home divisional game but that hasn’t helped them much lately.

I'm going to Croke if the Bills go.

 

Roger Goodell says you don’t make enough difference in the ratings to be anything other than a little collateral damage. RIP. 

 

I hate the international games, but I’d love to see Dublin, so…..

OK, maybe I’m not going to Dublin. That’s good info. 

 

I’d love to see Madrid as well, but I’m not sure if I could keep up. We were in Barcelona a few years back and the lady who ran the hotel restaurant was telling me Barcelona is fine, but if you want to go to dinner after midnight your options were limited. She preferred Madrid where everything was still open at 2AM for dinner.

LOL.  I like living in the cold more than the heat.  I'd pry rather move to Winnipeg than California if given the choice.

You're aware that the games aren't on here early because of the temperature.....right? 😉 And for reference, it's going to be 75 and sunny here today with virtually no humidity.

From a pure NFL marketing play, Bills vs Steelers in Dublin is major TV ratings. Will be interesting to see what happens but I don’t recall in division games played internationally. Typically, no team wants to give up a home game against an in division opponent.
