More games in London - F You Goodell


Happy Panther

Recommended Posts

The NFL is considering a plan to have a few teams play regularly in Britain to build an overseas following -- part of the league's evaluation about whether a franchise could be permanently based in London.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said Saturday the league is looking into whether such a scenario would "advance our cause here by growing the fan base quicker."

There is no reason to regularly play games in London. Having a Franchise in London is idiotic.

If the Panthers lost a home game or two every year I would be f'ing pissed.

People said the same thing about soccer in America. Most MLS teams now average as many people as NHL games and some even average several thousand more than the best drawing NHL teams.

American football has a respectable following in Britain considering they don't have any professional teams of their own. Australia, Germany, Mexico, and Canada all have sizeable fan bases as well.

It's called the NFL Europe. Jakey D. won their championship once with the Frankfurt Galaxy.

It failed. Brits dgaf about american style football.

The NFL Europe was like watching a full season of preseason football games. The players were development players who went to Europe for more playing time. Competition would be different this time.

Still dont want to see a team located in Europe.

    • I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes. 
    • Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.  
    • Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
