Enough with the gloom and doom. We're 5-0. Let's clear the air by discussing this interesting piece of news. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/09/jags-announcing-2013-london-opponent-on-thursday/ Now, wouldn't it make sense that it's either the 9ers or Texans, since both teams have a legit chance to win the SB.
maybe the 2005 texans should have played in london town. I'm just not big on playing over seas, but as long as we're not the team losing out on a home game then i guess. The commissar should really send the cowboys and browns to have an epic match up.
According to the article, it is unlikely to be the Texans or Titans due to rules to don't let them ship division rivalry games overseas.
The Patriots are playing in London this year, and they have a legit chance to win the SB. No, Jacksonville signed a deal to play there from 2013 to 2016.
Actually I wouldn't mind a game in London as long as it isn't a home game, except I figured it would be at an odd time of the day and if it is during a short week. Honest if they were still doing the pro bowl in other places then Hawaii, I'd say that would be the great place to have one.
I'd rather not have our guys go through the extra hassle of traveling overseas for a game. Luckily, the article mentions that the NFL may not want to export half of a home and home divisional series. It would kind of suck for the Jags to play a team twice with neither game actually being at home. That would leave the Niners, Cards, Chiefs, and Chargers.
It would be a Jags home game. It kind of works for them since their home crowd sucks so much. It's not like they're losing much by sacrificing a true home game. The game would be a normal time locally. The Pats-Rams game this year is a Noon start which would make it a 6 PM start in London. Neither time odd at all. Both teams get a BYE week following the game so it doesn't interrupt the normal schedule all that much. I think a real NFL game is more interesting. The Pro Bowl kind of sucks because the players don't care. It's not exactly what you want to present when you're trying to sell a country on your sport.

I really hope they play one day in London (not next year though) that being my chance to watch an NFL game live once in my lifetime.
I could care less if people in Europe like the NFL or not. Regular season NFL games should be played in NFL cities.
It won't be the Texans. The NFL announced today that the 49ers will be the opponent for the Jaguars in 2013 in London.
I think it's cool seeing a packed stadium cheering for a 2 win dolphins team. I just don't want our team to play there.
