aristocrat Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 6 minutes ago, Logic said: All anyone who questions the legitimacy of the NFL's expansion into Europe needs to do is turn on any game that has taken place in London in the last few years. The stands are always full and the crowd always interested, even though the games that get sent there have, without exception, been completely awful. Not only that, but you'll see a huge variety of different team jerseys in the stands. It feels like I've seen almost every team's jersey represented in the stands in the NFL's UK showcase games. Personally, my favorite part of those games is how much more audibly appreciative the crowd is of a successful field goal than U.S. crowds. I guess they just appreciate a high quality kick more than us yanks 😆 But anyway, the "what's the point? It'll never take off" crowd is way off base here. Yea the games over there for years have been *****. If they want some good will send em bill chiefs and I’ll be there in a heartbeat. went to bills London sat second row behind bills bench and only thing I remember was my girl telling Rex to go f himself and he turns around and shakes his head at her.

Money. Money is the answer. From many revenue sources. My only Super Bowl I personally attended we accidentally got on the wrong bus from the hotel. It was FULL of German guys. All wearing jerseys and having a wild time. They were all familiar with the game, the teams and the players. 1 minute ago, hemma said: I’ve never been to Europe. I need to learn more.

DrW Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) There should be no doubt that (American) football, and specifically the NFL, is gaining international appeal. Reuters estimated that of the 160 million viewers of the 2020 Super Bowl nearly 40 million were from outside of the US. And Germany seems to be the best place for going to Continental Europe. NFL Europe generally had the largest attendance in games played in Germany, and in the last years of NFL Europe 5 of the 6 teams were located in Germany. Furthermore, there is now a new, NFL-independent "European League of Football" (ELF). Of the 12 teams, 7 are based in Germany.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Here's my prediction Tenn @ Green Bay (unless Rodgers leaves) Think it will be featuring an NFC home team, my reason is this year the NFC gets the extra 9th home game so teams would have less to argue about losing a home game since they are gaining an extra one. Tenn @ Green Bay features two highly thought of teams, both playoff teams in 2021 and expected to be there in 2022 as long as Rodgers doesn't leave, but also not one of the highest anticipated games of the year like Bills V KC If not this game do think it will some game involving an NFC home game as they get the extra one. Pitt @ Philly, Balt @ Giants, Colts @ Vikings would be other possibilities IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Things Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Ein prosit! Call me what you will, but I really dislike NFL games being played outside of America. They always come across feeling like exhibition games, and not like important regular season games. I also think it's an insult to the fans in the US. How exactly are the American fans benefiting from these games? (Apart from the very few that will be able to travel to Germany.) It's just a money-grab by the owners and an f-you to the fans. It feels just as stupid as when the Bills played in Toronto. Do the Euros even care about American football? I know here in NZ, Kiwis generally view "gridiron" as a curiosity and nothing really more. <rant end> 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, if you had a chance to make 50% more, or double or triple your income, would you not be interested? Forget how many digits are involved. Just think, do you want more, or do you just want to squat and settle? I’m tired of people who hate on rich people (NOT saying you are one of them!). It’s only natural to want more. Who doesn’t?

It's worth mentioning that Hasselhoff isn't really that big in Germany anymore. For more modern phenomenon, check out DJ Ötzi's "Ein Stern." Or anything from Helene Fischer. Her huge hit is "Atemlos durch die Nacht." You can't turn on German TV without running into her for quite a few years now. Richard Noggin, just remembered this one! You'll love it!

Greg S Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 13 hours ago, Billznut said: There is zero chance they would make a division game be played overseas. Way too much importance placed on division games and it wouldn’t be fair to the team giving up their “home” game. I would also guess there has never been a divisional game played out of country over the years for this very reason. So we won’t be playing the Pats in Germany. In 2015 the Jets beat the Dolphins 24-17 in London. So it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Bills-Chiefs will be a huge hyped up marquee game that they will never take away from KC. It’ll be a Sunday night game billed as a quarterback duel part 2. A German game would like be a mediocre matchup. I can’t ever recall a gave played in London that was a great matchup. It’s usually something like Jaguars vs Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The NFL keeps trying to make NFL Europe a thing on the cheap. IMO, the OG NFL Europe that was in operation from 1991-2007 would have been more financially successful if they kept all the teams in Germany. The Germans enjoyed NFL Europe and watched the games and grew real fan bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Under no circumstances will Bills Pats* or Bills Chiefs be going to Europe. Those will be 2 of the highest rated games of the year, no way the networks want either of those on a Sunday morning instead of primetime or at least 4 pm.

I think 5 is the max a team is allowed to have in primetime. Look at the schedule.. home - division plus the Browns, Steelers, Titans, Packers, Vikings. road - division plus Ravens, Bengals, Chiefs, Lions, Bears, Rams Lots of games to choose from. Home potential primetime games I could see Steelers, Titans, Packers (if Rodgers stays, Allen vs Rodgers is must see TV), and the Pats. On the road I could see potential primetime games against the Chiefs, Bengals, Ravens, Pats, and even the Rams for an interconference matchup.
