NFL announces that the Bills will play the Jaguars in London next season.

The Bills will be the road team against the Jaguars, so they will not give up a home game at Ralph Wilson Stadium. That’s a win for Buffalo.

The Bills at Jaguars game at Wembley Stadium will be Sunday, Oct. 25, 2015. No time announced yet.

 

 

They did want 3 games next year.   Wonder if that's going to happen.

why do they always pick bottom tier teams to play in London? not just mediocre teams, but crap ass, sh!tty teams that suck rocks and have no star players. Don't they want to show off the league?

Because the good teams do not want to give up home games that may screw them in the playoff chase.

Interesting that Detroit is going back to back, although I am pretty sure both were road games at least.

I certainly understand it from the teams' and players' points of view, but the league should want to send some star power and one would think they could enforce it.

They probably could, but this is still not something that everybody is behind so you do not want to ruffle too many feathers I suppose.

To me, it makes sense to drop 2 pre-season games and have every team play once a year in both London and Los Angeles. Fewer crappy preseason games plus more exposure in big cities makes too much sense.

 

Fug what the players want. If they don't like the working conditions, quit the job.

Here's my question why can't they work it out so it's a road game for both teams. Seems like they could figure that out as long as it isn't a divisional matchup

 

You have to have an equal number of home games and road games in a season.  If two teams play in London and both get counted as road games then that will mean some other team somewhere will have less home games to make up for it.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
