Twitter Rumor has Bills playing against the Dolphins in London Next year

[thronethinker]

I just hope this whole scenario is fake. If its Bills home game they have 4 West coast and then a European game. If its Dolphins home game I will miss the trip to Miami. 

[machine gun kelly]

The funny thing is some of us can afford to go to the game, but have no interest.  I’d much rather go to the Ralph for any game I’m traveling for the Bills.

The Dolphins have confirmed they will be the host of the game either in London or Mexico:

We are and yes I suspect a home game too. 

 

The haters should come over and experience a game in the greatest city on earth. A few perspectives might change. 

 

I do get that it sucks for home fans who only get 8 a year when one gets taken away. But the London games are great. Their popularity continues to rise and they are going nowhere. 

Just give them a damn franchise so we don't have to worry about losing a home game.  This sucks if true.

Ooof. So the Bills have to make 3 roadtrips west next season plus a london roadtrip? That’s rough.

It's actually 4 west road trips and London.

 

Although the London game is just a rumor for now.

I like it. 
This team needs to learn how to win in all types of conditions if they're gonna go on the road and win playoff games, or even better, go on the road and win the Super Bowl!

First inkling (and it's VERY early and VERY much a rumor) of a national broadcast next year, and Buffalo gets it. Looks like the league DID take notice of the bump in viewers for each of: Dallas, Pittsburgh, New England, and Houston. 

For 20 damn years I've been waiting for this team to be relevant again, so when people talk sports, talk football, they can talk Buffalo.

For 20 damn years, I've been waiting for that schedule release to scan down the page and see games kicking off on different days and different times than "Sun: 1pm"

For 20 damn years, I've been waiting for my friends to say they're excited to watch the prime time game because Bufs wideout, or RB, or even QB is their fantasy stud (pause.)

For a fan base that lights tables on fire before they jump through them, you guys sure come across like a buncha pussies some times.

 

"Bu bu bu, it's at 9am! That's when I have my warmed milk with mother. I simply don't have the emotional capacity to deal with the anxiety that comes from me thinking about Buffalo playing that game in another country. ITS. NOT. FAIR!"

Will I be able to use my Home tickets over in London?

NO No No!

I've been saying this a lot, but the league did not experience a bump in viewers for the Pittsburgh or New England games. NE was the 6th most viewed game of week 16 alone. It was the most watched stupid NFL network exclusive game  in a couple years, but that doesn't mean a lot as those games rarely happen and aren't particularly enticing, which is why they don't get watched relative to normal local broadcasts of any other game. And Pittsburgh was 1.5 million viewers below SNF's average up to that point. People get it confused with the fact that it was the most watched TELEVISION program of the week, which is almost always true for SNF.

So if that is the case, how would everyone feel about the Bills playing in Mexico City?

Selfishly I want the Bills here at least once every 5 years. If the Jags moved here I'd be guaranteed 1 in 6 with the possibility of more if we finished in the same position in our divisions. I could live with that. 

 

I get that it sucks for fans who go to home games to lose a game. But the London games are going nowhere. 

 

Looks like it is a road game though.

The high altitude would be a killer, but it is closer than London and in the Central Time Zone.

Keep the NFL in the USA. Stop this international experiment BS. 
 

 

 

You can cry all you like. The NFL is becoming more international. It isn't stopping any time soon, whatever some Americans might think.

Hopefully it’s for Miami’s home game not ours.

It is. Already confirmed by the Dolphins that they will host.

EJ Manuel aside, I had a blast on the London trip a few years ago.   Worst case it's a game on TV at 9am.    Either way works for me!

Yeah.  That's true, and a pain in the ass to keep track of when half of your peers work in Stockport  

 

It is a pain when the Premier League inevitably decides that is a weekend that Arsenal should play Sunday at 4.30pm. It is bad enough that Sunday games are now 4.30 as opposed to 4pm because it means even in a normal week having to try and watch the end of Arsenal and the start of the Bills simultaneously but at least that is just 15 minutes. That 4.30pm and then Bills 5pm doubleheader twice in the last 3 or 4 years has been a killer. Probably knocked years off my life.

That sounds more like Ciudad Juarez or Tijuana than Mexico City, but I see your point.

Oh right...it would be 6:30am out here on the WC.  That works for me....coffee and the Bills!   Pancakes at halftime!   Woo-hoo!!

Just a hop, step and a jump over to Blighty from here in Stockholm so I really hope this is true!

 

[DCOrange]

I'd rather see a soccer game if I'm in London personally (just because I've never made it to see a Premier League game), but this is cool nonetheless.

You are correct. Border cities are far more dangerous than Mexico City. They are worlds apart.

Urgh. I can't stand Paris. I am obviously biased when I talk about the superiority of London but I wouldn't have Paris in my top 10 European capitals.  

 

EDIT: although I concede totally on the wine. That said you can get outstanding French wine in London if you know where to go.
