I wouldn’t read much more than that into it. The NFL is all about television ratings and promoting the top teams, until they’re no longer the top teams. It’s actually a way, way more level league than most other professional sports. We did beat the top dog, 2 years in a row in their house. Playoffs shouldn't count.

HOWEVER... How in the HELL do they play all of their toughest games - Bills, Bengals and Eagles - ALL AT HOME?!?!? We play the Chiefs, Bengals and Eagles ALL ON THE ROAD!!! That's baloney!!!!! Because the schedules are set way in advance except for 3 games.... and even those 3 the H-A is already settled.

On the positive had you come during covid Big Ben was still covered up for the restoration work. I lost count of the number of (mainly) American tourists who would stop me at the bottom of Whitehall in the three years he was under scaffolding and covers and say "excuse me where is Big Ben" and look devastated when I said "he is there covered by all of that construction material." The restoration is now complete he has had a polish up as well and he is GLEAMING! Tower of London is a bit of a naff tourist trap if I'm honest. Other than showing you some pretend crown jewels it's a bit meh. The rest is all good though. If you want some "off the beaten track" gems - Holland Park is beautiful, Camden and the little venice area is bustling and eclectic and the abandoned tube stations tour is brilliant (think they have re-started again now... they were one of the last to re-open post pandemic because underground, confined spaces etc). 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it! You won’t regret it. I’d never gone either, but discovered that it’s way cheaper than you think. My recommendation is start with a week, go to London, and then take the bullet train over and back to Paris for a couple of days. You don’t need a car in either city as both have a wonderfully efficient subway system (the Tube and Metro). 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBF81 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 3 hours ago, Realist said: 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. Unless I'm off on counting, of 31 England games, only four have been between divisional rivals, and none of them were considered to be in serious contention for a championship the year prior to their having been selected. I think we'll be OK in not yielding a divisional home game assuming history stands as the guide. Either way, not really all that worried about playing NE, the Nyets, or the Fish in London. The good news for STHs is that they won't have to pay for one game, it'll be like "the good ole days." LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There its as easy to go from country to country as it is here to go from State to State. And as a fan of history and someone who is interested in different cultures from our own, its always been just one of those bucket list items I never put action on. The bills game will just add to how special it will be for me personally. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they play overseas after Thanksgiving. The game will probably be played in Nov. My guess is it will be the Bills Patriots "home" game and then we will play the Pats in New England the final week of the season. Strike that - New England gets to host a game in Europe too.
