Well, at least it is the Jaguars if they have to travel

 

[Sb or Bust]

home or visiting team?

 

[Staubacher]

America's Team becomes England's Team. Jolly O!

 

[JBS]

home or visiting team?

Jerry said he'd never give up a home game. So it's probably an Away game

 

[Zordon]

has to be as visitors, which I don't mind.

 

[burmafrd]

hope the day comes when the NFL owners are smart enough to realize this whole idea of putting NFL teams in Europe will never work

 

[Section446]

Better be an away game.

 

[Fredd]

JJ won't give up the millions he makes on every home game...uh-uh, ain't gonna happen....

just think, if this happens, in 2014, the Super Bowl Champions will play the team with the first pick of the draft in London

 

[The Quest for Six]

NFL, please stop this nonsense of sending teams to London to play...

 

[bark]

Not a fan of this

 

[reddyuta]

I dont like this too,i hope Jerry says no to this .

 

[Cowboy from New York]

If it was away game and if the bye came right after it then ok. But having a London team(down the line) seems like such a non starter. What team would want to fly back to the states 10 times a year (preseason games incl) ? Plus taxes are much higher over there too. I dont think too many players would be big fans. Just bring back the WAFL teams and let me see some spring football with german and british drunks in the stands.

I don't get the whole London thing. Why shut NFL Europe down if you plan on expanding into Europe? From what I understand NFLE was somewhat popular?

Just seems like a waste of resources to me.

Don't the Jags really struggle to get people to their home games in Florida? So I'm sure it'd be a JAX giving up the home game.

Do they ever, they've actually been granted permission to cover up a good portion of the seats in their stadium to further assist in avoiding a blackout, but they still can't manage to sell half of them some games. Watching a Jaguars home game is one of the most depressing things in all of sports.

Wait a minute. I thought I read a JJ quote before the last London game a couple of weeks ago where he said the Cowboys won't do a London game ever or something to that effect. Ring any bells to anyone?

 

[ftghb]

now there's a prize: get to travel to london to beat up on the league's favorite punching bag.

 

[DuceizBak]

I hope we say yes. I'll take any easy game we can get.
