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.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
