London

[gonzozab]

I heard on the news the other day it might happen next year against the Rams. I hope not.

 

[HardRightEdge]

If they do...can there be an Aaron/Clay commercial where Clay dressed as an old housewife asks Aaron "Might I be *****?" and politely pours his tea?

How about on deck chairs sailing over on the Titanic. Oh, wait, Rodgers will be back playing by then.

Never mind.

It would have to be an non-divisional away game to a non prime-time opponent. Rules out a bunch of possible opponents.

Could be Eagles as they have also not played in London, but if they win SB then maybe not...

The Rams are most likely winning their division and are on the rise, but the NFL usually schedules London games with the home team being one that normally doesn't draw good attendance numbers, which applies to the Rams. That's why you see the Jaguars play there every year.

They should just call themselves Jacksonville Globetrotters

I think they want all teams to play in London and only 6 have not done so. So there will be some push from NFL to get them in too.

IDK but it does bring up some important questions.. for instance:
If the Jets played there and lost.. would they blame it on “Jet Lag”?

 

[RepStar15]

I hope its not the Rams...only because we have a garenteed 9th home game in LA next year.

 

[Raptorman]

As of this year only 6 teams haven't played across the pond. Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles, Seattle Seahawks ,Tennessee Titans. Houston Texans.

if several players pulled up lame with lower body ailments it could be Jet Leg

Can they play in London now ???

 

[BrokenArrow]

Why the heck are they playing games over there anyway? It's not like Manchester United is coming here to play games. Not that many people would show for it.

Oh boy you are SO wrong on that score. EVERY game played in London and now Twikenham are a complete sell out every year.

I agree with you, they shouldn't play NFL games over here. But a few people showed up last time Man United played a friendly in the states:

Why not ?? You`ve never been to a wembley game ?

 

[G0P4ckG0]

I don't see why giving up one home game for London would be all that bad. Packers use to play half their home games two hours away.

2 hours is a big difference from halfway across the world.

Oh, I have, I'm definitely a hypocrite.

But it's american teams, and it's taking 1 of only 8 home games from the local fans in the name of greed.

Meh... I'd just much rather watch rugby than soccer. Used to watch the Green Bay Celtics play sometimes when I was up there.
