    Thanks I forgot all about West Ham. I’ve never been too interested in going to the Olympic stadium. It looks cavernous on TV. We took a train down to Brighton last time just to see the coast. It was super easy and the town is cool! If I recall though the Amex stadium isn’t really near the train station.

    Playoffs? Playoffs? Come on people….where’s Jim Mora when we really need him!

    Ha! Thanks… I always forget about Crystal Palace.

    Lots to choose from: Arsenal Brighton Brentford Fulham Chelsea Not quite sure if there’s another London area club that might be promoted up from the Championship. Maybe Millwall?

    That’s only relatively recently. For many years the Bruins shared the Coliseum with USC. For most of its long history the Rose Bowl was used just for the Rose Bowl game. (Again, it’s the closest analogy I could come up with to explain Wembley.)

    How old is Hopkins? That may be why the Cardinals want to unload him on Buffalo. They’re obviously trying to get younger than us. Those bastards!

    So Brit if this is true then the Bills game is the weekend before the international break? Meaning that there ‘should’ be matches around London on Wednesday October 4th and Saturday the 7th?

    Nice sleuthing BillSy! I’ll meet you there. 👍 Pick a pub and we’ll tip a pint or two.

    Hey Brit….is there a reason why the NFL doesn’t play at Twickenham Stadium? I’ve never been there and quite frankly didn’t know it was as large as it is until we were in London the last time the Bills were at Wembley. Is it nice?

    Ya know, I always thought with a name like Poona that he must have some Hawaiian heritage but now I find out that it’s a nickname from his grandmother. Go figure!
  11. SoCal Deek
    Now add a bit of Poona.

    I have to say that Beane clearly recognizes the same deficiencies that most fans do. He might not get it done in the exact order everyone on here wants him to…but he definitely has a plan. No telling whether it all works but it’s clearly not random. Go Bills

    I say the same thing every year. When it’s all said and done there are really VERY FEW roster spots truly up for grabs.

    You certainly never know from year to year. Just a year ago you’d have been facing Russel Wilson, Derek Carr and Tom Brady in games that on paper anyway would’ve looked pretty tough. Now….not so much.

    Last time we went we were able to catch a Championship League match at Fulham on Wednesday night of the week leading up to the Bills game. Do you know if the lower divisions are also on a bye during an international break?

    The best analogy I can come up with is Wembley is the national stadium, sort of like the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Neither is a home stadium for a specific team. Tottenham is the actual home stadium to for the Hotspurs, sort of like SoFi stadium would be for the Rams/Chargers. Just like in Los Angeles the two stadiums are only a few miles apart from each other. Hope that helps.

    If I remember last time we were in London for the Bills game, the World Rugby Finals were going on across town that same weekend. There were sports fans everywhere!

    Hasn’t it already been determined that the Bills are NOT playing Jacksonville in London? The Jaguars will be playing at Wembley whereas the Bills are playing at Tottenham stadium.

    You’re right that power running isn’t their primary option, but it’s clear that the additions of Harris, Torrence and now Murray suggest they’re headed in the power running direction when they do choose to run. Which, as you suggest, might be a really smart counter punch against defenses that’ll be expecting pass first.
  20. SoCal Deek
    Well we know it can’t be too much earlier since the entire schedule comes out in 10 days. I was hoping they’d announce the international games either today or tomorrow.

    The island or the special teams player? 😉
  22. SoCal Deek
    That’s a really odd ‘takeaway’ considering we actually lost our starting running back from the last four seasons.

    Anyone know if Yantha saw the renderings? He knows there’s no dome….right?
  24. SoCal Deek
    Will London be announced earlier this week? Seems like that’s been the case in previous years…no?

    SC didn’t care about the Cotton Bowl. Their season was lost when Caleb Williams got hurt against Utah.
