Who cares about Wembley Stadium right now. Three games left in this season. We can talk about the two mediocre teams that will be playing over there in August.

Most likely but not a guarantee. The Colts this year chose not to have bye after their London game.

Agree. It's not really that bad of a trip for us from here. The trip to London is only an hour more than a trip to Seattle or San Diego.

Only thing I know about Wembley is, it was part of Queens last ever tour when Freddie found out he was sick. Sold out over 80,000 in less than four hours for July 11,1986 show. So they added a Saturday show, same thing. Great video of the second show. Mass humanity, all to see five guys. I don't know how many toilets they had then, but I don't think it helped those people on the field. Coulda' been messy.

That's a long 12 games in a row, That has to lower a teams playoff chances.

I think London games are stupid. Why does the NFL have to resort to gimmicks?

Because the Jags are going to be moving there soon enough. The NFL just wants teams to get ready to make the travel. Bigger cities bring in a bigger TV audience which brings in Billions (with a B) more $$. That's why the Rams went to LA & the Raiders are going to Vegas. The Jags will be in London within the next 5 years (London would make it the largest TV market in the NFL). Khan will build a new stadium for the Jags & the Fulham FC to use.

Also wouldn't surprise me to see the Chargers or Bucs go to Mexico City (Would be the largest TV market).

I wouldn't look at it as a knock on the team. All teams will eventually play there. NE has played there 2x and the boys have played there as well. Does that make them bad teams? Heck, NE is going to play OAK in Mexico City in 17.
