These games in England are so strange it would be like fans in London watching an EPL team play league games in like Minnetonka Minnesota 

 

Hardly. London is a huge city. More like Premiere League games being played in NYC, which I think has happened.

Ridder just threw another pic. Would have been a TD if the Jags CB didn't fumble the ball. Peterman-esque 

 

I have no idea how anyone thought Ridder was a starting NFL QB. 

 

He's a career backup if I've ever seen one.

There's 87,000 people in attendence in London, and it sounds like a covid game. You can hear everything Lawrence is saying. 

That's the problem. It's fans of all NFL teams so there's no home crowd atmosphere. Probably a lot of people there who aren't fans at all and are just there to see what it's like

And it literally sounds crowdwise like an EPL game played in Minnesota. Brits just aren’t into American Football and never have been… when there’s nearly 90,000 people and you can hear the QBs snap count that’s a problem.

Broad generalisation much? So according to you that is 90,000 people who just accidentally turned up in the stadium.

 

And why is it a problem? Who for?

So according to fans when I was there it’s very British and proper to sit during the games. They were pissed we stood and cheered the whole game.

 

we were fifth row 50 yard line and during a quiet time my gf yelled….hey Rex get your ***** ***** together or something like that and he looked back with the biggest scowl it was hilarious

Sucks this is only on espn+....not that it's a huge match up, but it would be nice to watch some AM football.

Broadcasting an NFL game only on ESPN+ is absolute garbage. How many services will we have to buy to watch the games in the coming years? The NFL - continually sets new greed standards.

It’s not in an nfl teams financial and logistical interests no one wants to fly to London during the season for a game in which they don’t really have a home field advantage you only get 8-9 of these a year and I guarantee to a player and every single member of the coaching staff they would want the game in Buffalo next week instead of running around touring Big Ben.

Well, lucky for them there are a lot of Bills fans coming to town next week. We are noted for our proper behavior at all times. I think we will blend in nicely.

In the NFL you cannot score 6 points and then 7 points in consecutive weeks.  thats horrendous.  i was wrong about ATL, they really stink.

That’s what a run heavy offense will get you in today’s NFL.  low scoring losses.

 

I think its Heinecke time down there.
