Peace Frog Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 If the NFL wants to do this, fine. However, I feel like the Bills and our opponent should both count this as a road game. Because essentially, that's what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Most likely: Dolphins Jets Raiders Cowboys I doubt it will be Dolphins after all three close games this year. Bills wouldn't want to lose home field against them. Cowboys also, that's actually a possible Superbowl matchup and would be a great opening night if Buffalo wins. Even still, they are a great draw for the home team, Pegulas wouldn't want to lose that. My guess is the Raiders, could definitely see that happening.

pocoboy Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 So the 17 game schedule is making a lot more sense now. I could imagine them eventually wanting to push the 16 "extra" games to international sites every year, if they can figure out suitable markets. I think the fact the Chiefs and Bills are both slated for their extra home game to be abroad is a good thing. It would have been optimal to force Cincy into this instead of New England, as those are the three teams that seem best perched to be fighting for the 1 seed again in 2023. I think you have to hope it's Las Vegas. Denver, NYG, and Tampa all went abroad last season. Also feel like from a competitiveness standpoint, taking away a divisional home match-up is a bridge too far. Theoretically, I could see the league doing some kind of trial balloon of Jacksonville playing "home" at Wembley followed by an "away" game vs Buffalo at Spurs, but that would be a stretch. So to me, it's probably Vegas or the Cowboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 a couple observations from my European friends. The Bills game will likely have to be late October due to the soccer schedules. Specifically for KC and NE - the Bundeleague has a break for the holidays in November. The Tottenheim stadium is designed like the Bills stadium will be and evidently people are concerned about the turf there. The tickets for these games have been skyrocketing the last few years.

SoCal Deek Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Count me in! Now we just need to find out which week it’ll be. I’m assuming mid to late October but that we won’t know until the complete league schedule comes out in April. If I recall, they release the London game dates a few weeks before. Anybody know?

SoCal Deek Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I don’t believe it’ll be the Raiders. They played the Bears at Tottenham right before the pandemic. We just happened to be in London that week. I don’t think they’re due to play overseas again that soon. I’m guessing it’ll be the Cowboys?

zow2 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Kind of annoying to lose a home game but whatever. Give them what could be a possible Lake effect game (Late Nov.- ish). I've warmed up a little bit to these Europe games when it's not my team playing.. mainly because it's something to turn on at 9:30am other than pregame shows. And it's likely a game i wouldn't see more than 2 minutes of had it not been a standalone at 9:30a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
