London 2018?


SuperBowlBound

Recommended Posts

The NFL normally announces the teams that are selected to go to London during December. We’re halfway through and still nothing. 

A report earlier this year said they want to get the remaining six teams that haven’t been over there.

Two questions, do we believe we are going and will the NFL take away a home game from us?

@RoaringRiot or @Jeremy Igo, any insight to this?

Saw somewhere that they pushed this year's announcement to mid January. 

I'm already working on the tailgate spot for this game. It's going to be a banger.

That would be fantastic. I would not go to Philly but I’d definitely do London. 

I would only go to Philly because I lived there for three years and I would just go to the game with my friends up there. I'm not taking a group up there. I'm all set on that....

Panthers at eagles would be a marquee game.  Couldn't see it wasted on London. 

They're two of the five teams (pretty sure it's 5) that haven't gone. But yes, this was my prediction before the season. Could certainly changed based on their 2017 performances. But I'm gonna ride it out ;)

I don't think it's a waste to put any game in London. It's still televised here. One of the four games this year kicked off at 1pm EST, so I don't see why they couldn't put a potential marquee game over there. 

In fact, if they really want the game to be popular in the UK, they need to have meaningful football there, so I'd be supportive of any of our games being played in London. As long as it's not permanently.

Would be a expensive trip. Looking at airfare between $1100 to  $1500 roundtrip. Hotels are around $200 to  $300 a night. If you leave out Friday night arrive Saturday morning and leaving Monday. You are looking at $2000 before even buying a ticket to the game.

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
