unless Goodell wants to do another favor for the owner and fanbase that despise him for no reason.

commence crying from Boston about the Raiders getting their 8th home game

 

[Rock Strongo]

yeah the stadiums damaged.

i thought that was a raiders home game in mexico anyway?

 

[Rock Strongo]

yeah, it was already a raiders home game dummy:

Should the damage to the stadium be extensive, the NFL would consider moving the game to Oakland. It is, after all, a Raiders ‘home’ game. But since initial reports raised serious concerns, the outlook has been more positive as to the condition of the stadium. Even still, the NFL is traveling to the location to get a firsthand look.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Well that's good. 2 mile high games in a row wouldn't be a good thing.

 

[rmilia1]

Must be some heavy damage to be in worse shape than Oakland Alameda Coliseum

 

[black francis]

yeah the stadiums damaged.

i thought that was a raiders home game in mexico anyway?

it was a neutral field game, unless Oakland has been moved Mexico

hopefully it will be unplayable and Oakland gets their rightful 8th home game, like almost every other team in the league

I'm sure Belidick will fight it though

"home" game would be right
home game would be wrong

it was labeled as a home game for the raiders on the schedule

Nobody cares where they play the game.

Did you see the Raider game from Mexico last year? It was a "homie" game. All the fans had Raiders jerseys on.

 

[black francis]

it was labeled as a home game for the raiders on the schedule

But smart people know that the Raiders are not based in Mexico, which makes it a neutral field game.

If a large majority of the crowd is cheering for one team, it's not exactly neutral.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

But smart people know that the Raiders are not based in Mexico, which makes it a neutral field game.

Smart people also know the Raiders have a pretty big and active fanbase in Mexico. It's a defacto home game for the Raiders. Don't kid yourself. You gonna try to tell me there were a bunch of Texans fans down in Azteca last year?

the raiders are huge en mexico.

huge. cowboys type huge.

its a home game on the schedule and in the stadium.

smart people actually know this

word up

Sure it is. If you play over 2000 miles from home, it's not a home game

If it doesn't matter, then why not play the Jets in Mexico ?

 

[black francis]

Not a lot smart football posters apparently.
