will anybody watch?

Can we stop this already? As much as I like seeing a game on at 9AM local, I still think it's a stupid idea trying to make American Football into a mainstream sport in Europe.

Good, Ravens don't lose a home game.

I think they're actually axing the 9:30AM start time. Don't remember if it's for next season or 2018.

Sucks for those teams.

 

[J-Rod]

These London games are starting to annoy me. 3 out of 4 of the "home" teams have losing records. The travel is bad enough, but at least make it an "away" game for these bad teams.

 

[DHoey]

Arizona and LA??? Come on man, keep that shit for the east coast teams

 

[Carnzo]

Dodged the bullet again, Yippee!
Sucks for the teams with all the travel and for the week after.

One would think Goodell would want to make sure New England plays there as often as possible, right?

You would think so but I believe all teams have to do it eventually like it or not.
At least I think so.

The teams bye week should come after the London game imo

Exactly. Just try to take a home game from Jerryworld.

Well the issue is the NFL is picking teams that are struggling to sell out their stadium. They are not going to take a home game away from the top teams in the league that make the team a ton of money every Sunday. Easier to upset the fans of Jacksonville than the fans of Green Bay that they are taking away a home game.

I understand from the business standpoint. It just sucks as a Rams fan, man. We need all the home games we can get.

Oh understand. I would hate if my team was picked as one of them that had to give up a home game. When is the stadium expected to be ready for the Rams? I wonder if that plays into it a bit for them in losing a home game since they don't officially have their true stadium.

Teams almost always get a bye week following the London games

That could be a reason. The stadium is supposed to be ready for the 2019 season.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

A flawed concept for sure.

Fuck those Brits....
