To Europeans, the annual NFL Europe games are something special, a once a year event. Now, there are talks to expand it to more games, even the Super bowl! However the more games there are, the less special it will be, and, less will attend, and it will make the NFL lose money.

Nothing will be a better slap in the face to 'ol roger than that! HAHAHAHA!

Am I the only one who thinks hosting NFL games in Europe is pretty cool? This forum has shown that even a small market team like the Panthers has fans overseas. Imagine if you were such a fan, and the Panthers travelled hundreds of miles and played before you.

Are we so myopic and self-centered that we think that professional football should only be played in America? What's a few games a year overseas?

(Now the Super Bowl, on the other hand, is another story entirely. Let's keep the big game in the States.)

yes... what's so wrong with fans not wanting the NFL to lose it's aura and greatness by expanding and losing it's value/importance?

Are we that out of touch with reality that no matter what the case is we must expand and grow and take over and give amongst those less fortunate that we will lose everything just to give away a little something?

Europe will never really care about football until they get their own team.

Traveling across the US from one coast to the other puts a strain on a team. Traveling from Charlotte to London is a 1/3 longer trip than to the West Coast. Having teams in Europe will make that a regular occurrence. Don't really mind pre-season and don't really mind regular as both teams have to make the flight. But do hate the idea of putting teams in Europe. To large a home field advantage, IMO. Yes I do know that half of Europe's game will be away and they have to travel here.

The only way you can really expand the league is if you add 8 teams. That's not going to be easy to do and will set up a scheduling nightmare...

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
