More games in London - F You Goodell

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.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
