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.

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
