NFL approves 3 London games for 2014. Home teams: Jags, Falcons, Raiders.

Someone needs to snipe Goodell.

Jags, Falcons, Raiders.

 

Lol.

[Mother Grabber]

if I was going to show off my super cool sport to a foreign land, trying to expand my audience, I sure as fug wouldn't send the worst team in the entire league.  What the fug is Goodell doing?

Why only London?

Put a game in South America, India or Tokyo

Just out of interest, what do you guys think of International Series games, and non American NFL fans in general?

 

I'm a UK based Panther and think it's great that people over here get to see live games, but I reckon I'd be pretty annoyed if the shoe was on the other foot.

nothing wrong with it, but for a team to lose a regular season home game is pretty lame. also, if they're going to do it, expand beyond London

Mexico City and Toronto would be more ideal. ... if Mexico wasnt as dangerous.

Send the cowboys south and the Bill s north

It's not a big deal to me at all until it's the Panthers losing a home game.

I remember a Cowboys vs. Raiders preseason game in Mexico City about 10 years ago.

If international games didn't count but had an emphasis on letting the big names play, it would be easier to swallow than losing a regular season home game. (until said "big name" player is injured in a game that doesn't count)

I seem to remember an SF-ARZ RS game in Mexico City about 10 years ago.

 

As far as one of the games, people seem to think it'll be the 9ers-Raiders in one of those games, that way the league won't have to deal with any potential fan violence. There was an incident a couple years back that prompted the end of SF-OAK preseason games

Does anyone want to help end our preseason series with the Steelers?

What surprised me about the games in Mexico is how much they understand the game. I remember them booing a bad call without mercy.

I can't tell you how many Aussie NFL fans I've met. I can understand the NFL being hesitant to put a game there, with the enormous time difference and being a completely different season in the land down under. But there's a goldmine if/when they do.

One of the prime time networks would have to take care of it. It would be an 11:30am start in a Melbourne/Sydney game.
