Bills@Jags, 2015 London Series - Oct 25th

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.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
