Goodell is going to screw up this league.

Didn't the NFL Europe go under because a lack of fan interest. Great idea Goddell. Oh yeah thanks for letting what Tagliabue, the CBA, run out. You probably just assured a strike in the immediate future. Tagliabue's last act to was to make sure he left you with one and now we probably will never again have a salary cap which is the sole reason this league has taken off the last 15 years. It lends to parity in the league. Every year your team can go from 1-15 to 11-5 (or at least the Phins can). It allows each team to have a more balanced chance at both players and wins. This is the reason I hate MLB. Teams like the Yankees can just buy championships.

I understand what he WANTS to do...compete with soccer world wide. That...will not happen...ever. He needs to think about the jet lag for the London team's players mostly but also the teams that go over there each week; the money that it will cost to have a team that far away, and the cost of getting things to and fro; the fact that there is no solid proof London would be any more supportive than Jacksonville after the first few years, and also not to mention that right now, even playing in London costs one team's fans a home game. As a PSL owner, if I ever lost one of my ten games a year to London, I'd be outraged.

I think Mexico City is actually the best non-us team prospect (other then maybe a Candian one). The 49ers and Cards game had more people then any other game in NFL history and they both sucked that year. It is not a long flight and I think it would bring in a whole huge market base for advertisement. This country is fastly approving a time when Mexicans while be in the Majority of the population (and I am not being racist I am just stating fact). Money Money Money.

Why not bring a new team(s) to the U.S. in a state whose population shows support but has no team, before moving to another country? What about Oklahoma, they have the college fans. Maybe it's just me but the NFL seemed displayed as very "American-made" to me. Would the euro's have to sing our star spangled banner before each game, or something of their own?

Personally I would leave it. It's fine as it is. I am sure all this comes down to is the amount of money they are estimating on making.

Here is what I think will go down.

Jax will move to LA.

Buffalo to Toronto

London will get a team

Mexico city will get one.

London will be a NFC team and Mexico city a AFC. This will all take place in the next five years. In ten years wouldnt be surprised if Germany and Spain picks up teams either and one other city in Europe getting another to make a conference. Schedule will go to 18 games with only 2 preseason games. Logistically it will work just schedule the London games where teams playing there will have a bye. After all the byes are gone London team travels to East Coast games.

    • That's a serious word salad. Anywho. Both Justin Fields and Daniel Jones have always had something Bryce Young does not possess. The necessary physical tools.
    • What it feels like is a horrible source reality. What a person sees is a horrible source for reality. Stats can be easily misunderstood because because they are interpretive and contextual. Very large data sets with dozens more more connected variables are difficult to deal with and understand correctly. Throw in confirmation bias, abstraction, emotions and the way human brains are wired make it really easy to roll with eye tests and intuition. The negativity for Bryce was really high and most were ready to trade that asset for peanuts until the second half of last year when he began to play much, much better.  Hope sprang eternal.  The Saints game last year.  Going toe to toe and almost beating the two teams who went to the Superbowl last year.  Beating the Falcons when the Falcons had everything to play for.  Haters started adjusting their tune. Fan and media starting saying it looks like Carolina has found their franchise QB.   The real answer was and is, maybe. If he plays great on Sunday the anti-Bryce crowd will find other excuses or say it's only one game. If he plays horrible, it'll be more of the "I told you so. I knew it before he was drafted." (which is beyond stupid since there there is not an actual way to know if a player will be successful in the NFL or not.) I'll leave with a simple example.  Of the initial list of incompletions due to WR error, Jarod Goff has 0.  He was 31 for 39 at an almost 80% completion percentage.  His WR's much has balled out. Except when you add the facts that only 11 of those passes were to WRs.  14 were to RB's and 6 to the TE.  Gibbs has 10 of those receptions and he's elite so that explains why we shouldn't put much stock into this stat.  But then we see that Gibbs also set an NFL record with the least number of yards (31) for any player with at least 10 receptions in a game. Fun stuff! Oh yeah.  From week 1 how many people had Justin Fields and Daniel Jones playing at elite levels?   
    • How do you reconcile with the fact that the most competent and productive the Panthers passing offense has looked at any point between 2023 and 2025 were both games where Andy Dalton (who is completely washed and terrible) started? 680 passing yards and 5 touchdowns in two games. And one of those games was with Frank Reich as the head coach. This team needs competent QB play.
