Mr. WEO Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 this has nothing to do with London games. It's a goofy marketing thing. Rams.... China?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattymafia Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Wow, they really do hate the UK dont they? Stuck with Jacksonville and the Jets? I was at a hotel in Munich a few weeks ago and the nfl europe executives were there to see which city they want to host the game at. Hopefully them seeing my and my girlfriend in our Bills stuff means we can get an (Away) game in Germany. I went to my first German Soccer game a few weeks ago and it was more nuts than anything I've seen at american sports (and the team wasnt even a good one). The crowd banging on drums, singing songs for 90+ minutes, lighting flares and chanting; if you can mix Bills mafia with German Soccer fans, it would be the perfect combination.

Milanos Milano Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Buffalo already claimed Russia. New open air stadium. In Russia, touchdown throws Josh Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffeesforclosers Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Terry has to go to bat for Bills Mafia of Kazakhstan. They deserve that much. Sending the Jets to pimp the NFL in England is like sending Watford over to hawk the Premier League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 First the Jags and now the Jets. Looks like they're working their way up to someday seeing professional football in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK will be their "second home," which means a big Jets presence in the UK, where owner Woody Johnson served as US ambassador. Sounds like they could have future games in the UK." / Twitter Garbage Teams are apparently the only ones who applied for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Strange the bills didn't pursue (or get) this designation for Canada. I know they are popular in southern ontario... but I have friends in ottawa/Montreal and the bills are highly popular there. I think they identify with our rabid, unconventional, and rather outcast fan base. Now that the team is relevant, time to strike and use every tool to grow deep roots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Strange they would take games away from such a huge market. I mean the jags have been a dumpster fire so I get stopping that. But surprised they couldn't get the panthers or titans. If the Jets do turn it around...which is a big if right now this could be a solid move.

May Day 10 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I wonder how much the Jets actually serve the NFL, seeing they have always been a much lesser version, and a red headed stepchild to the beloved and storied Giants. Is 2 teams in the same media market redundant.... especially when 1 of them is rarely any good.? Id say the same thing in LA with the Chargers. The Rams are more successful as well as a little more rooted (I do realize the Chargers started in LA 60 years ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's next? The Bills are going to play games in Toronto? 😂 It has marketed the Jags to London pretty well actually. They are the third most popular NFL team in the UK among millennials which when you consider their frankly atrocious performance levels for all but one year of the past decade and a half is pretty remarkable.

You would think that there is some sort of 'benefit' or exclusivity that comes with this designation in some way. I don't think we/Bills fans would freak out if the Bills held that designation. It would be more of a 'well, duh'. The Toronto series brought such backlash because for all intents and purposes it was a dress rehearsal for Toronto getting the Bills. Rogers basically bought himself a piece of 'ownership', while Ralph Wilson got a nice cash dividend, and also had a really wealthy bidder lined up for when he would eventually pass away. I would have no problem if there was a one-time "international series" game that featured the Bills at this point. I think it beats travelling across the pond or to Mexico. I also think Bills fans would support it as Canadians would support a relevant Bills team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea my experiences of German soccer games are mixed. Depends which city you go to. I have been to 4 games over there and been in some incredible atmospheres and some absolutely terrifying ones. I have watched soccer in most countries in Europe and 2 of my 3 worst experiences were in Germany, but then so was 1 of my best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
