There's another [expletive] London game??? How many are there this year?

At Wembley on Sunday two of the smallest and most inconsequential NFL teams of the past decade, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills, played out a minor classic in front of 84,000 people. Next weekend, another sell-out crowd will revel in the whole fist-bumping, XXL jersey-over-hoodie wearing, Lite beer-slurping experience all over again when the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions come to town.

 

Let that marinate for a moment. We have had two NFL games in London in eight days involving four buck-average teams, and that’s being kind. But despite tickets costing between £37.50 and £105 a pop, the games have been sellouts.

 

It was announced on November 6, 2014 via British TV channel Sky Sports News HQ that three games would be played at Wembley Stadium again in 2015. On October 4 the Miami Dolphins hosted the New York Jets in week 4. In week 7 (October 25), the Jacksonville Jaguars hosted the Buffalo Bills and in week 8 (November 1), the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Detroit Lions on the Lions' second consecutive visit to London. The Jets-Dolphins game marked the first time a divisional game has taken place at Wembley as both teams play in the AFC East. This will also be the first year in which games have taken place in back-to-back weeks.

Damn he went full Pre-PR team Lebron. I'm sure that won't endure him to the thousands of assholes that think its fine to verbally assault a player on social media because they picked him in fantasy and he got hurt.

football players get injured its a 100% what does everyone once from him?

 

Makes me wonder if he was dictating that rant into his phone driving down the road or something.

Yeah, I would sure hope so.

Fun fact: out of 14 London games, only one has involved 2 teams at or above .500 at the time of the game: the 4-2 Buccaneers vs the 3-3 Bears in 2011

I don't think that's a coincedence. Good and historic teams that sellout all their home games and have huge waiting lists for season tickets, don't typically agree to give up home game revenue to agree to play overseas. It doesn't benefit the NFL to make them do so either. While the game has featured the Patriots, Giants, Cowboys, Bears, Steelers, Jets and Giants....the home teams for these games have historically been bad franchises or ones who have historically had trouble drawing fans consistently. Tampa twice. Dolphins twice. Jacksonville in the midst of 5 straight home games in London. Bad Rams, Raiders, and Saints teams.

Didn't the NFL say that every NFL team will eventually give up a home game for London? Have the home teams other than Jacksonvile repeated as the home team?

The Saints are going to get back to .500 today, and go on a nice run against a weak schedule and get me hopeful again. Then they will blow a game against someone like the Jags to crush my spirits once again. I am sure of this.

Or compact that all into one game

Isn't it a requirement in order to be considered for hosting a Super Bowel?

Not really, but a tolerance to Ghost Peppers helps.

The Raiders are ... good?

 

Goodish, I think. I mean, there are so many bad teams in the NFL this year that a 4-3 team looks pretty great

 

20 teams are .500 or lower right now. The NFL is a [expletive] show

Is Colin Kaepernick even in the NFL this time next year? He's been stunningly bad today.

 

Today? Today was only his 3rd worst game.

 

Today was the first time I've seen him live, and he was doing [expletive] that would make Tebow cringe. He reminded of when Todd Zeile or Jose Oquendo would come into pitch during blowouts.

 

The Niners could've grabbed Josh Freeman or Kyle Orton from whatever breadline they're on and had better results.
