MustOfBeenDrunk Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 What are your thoughts on this ? Should the NFL be playing games half way around the world during the regular season ? Is it a big disadvantage for the teams that have to travel that far for the rest of their schedule ? Or are you in favor of it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Both teams have a bye the following week so I don't think it's a disadvantage for the rest of the season for them. Plus don't teams have the decision if they want to be considered to play overseas or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojanmojo Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The worst thing about this game is the poor marketing it will produce. The Bucs are horrendous and will walk the plank at the hands of the Pats. Final score: NE 52 TB 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final score: NE 52 TB 7 Â I tend to agree but if the game being played was Philly against Oakland last week we would be saying the same thing. And we know what happen there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 There are plans to have a London, Canadian and possible Mexican team added to the NFL so teams best get used to make the trip. They sold 80K tickets in 5 minutes. Pretty impressive! Â Also, I think any home advantage will go to the Buc's, being the Pat's represent the same people that put a whoopin on the Brit's!

isleseeya Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 i dont like it  NFL as it stands now is made up 100 % of american based teams  Games should be played here always  If Brits want to watch , let them get a huge satellite dish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I honestly have no issue getting other countries involved into the sport. I think it would add that more rivalry to the game along with the current division rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Well, as with baseball, most of the Canadian teams will be made up of American players anyway... err Hispanic players... There is currently only 1 Canadian MLB team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Is this true re: a London team? Canada and Mexico are all well and good and perfectly workable, but a team in London would make no sense at all from a scheduling standpoint.
