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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
