Do not like the international game.

Fans and cities and states pay a lot of money to get their 8 games and to take even one away is disrespectful to the fan base.

The NFL will never be an international sport and should stop trying to be one. The only expansion I could see as logical is Canada with Bufallo moving.

The whole idea is dumb.

FWIW, the season ticket prices drop by 1 game for the home team that plays over there. Living in Tampa I have seen this first hand. I was asked by a lot of people here who know I am a Jaguars fan what my feeling of them playing over there.I told them I think playing a regular season game over there by any NFL team is stupid. Wanna play overseas, send the preseason games over. No one will care or miss them. Regular season is a different story. That said, since they are so bent on playing the game in London, I had no issue with the Jaguars deciding to do so.

At last the Jag fans will get to see a “home” game on tv.

You mean like all the other ones they’ve seen on TV since the last game of the ’09 season? I am sure they’ll be thrilled since its currently not an issue there. In the meantime, why don’t you do a little research on your statements before making them. Sounding like national media who hasn’t a clue what goes on in local small markets is really not something you should strive for.

What I really learned here is that Shahid Khan would have been a much better casting choice than Bob Hoskins for the Super Mario Bros. movie.

If KC goes make sure they buy one way tickets which includes a seat for all their fans!

This is the NFL: fairness has got nothing to do with anything.

Please not the 49ers. The Jags would probably be an easy win and I don’t want anything weird to happen to make it tougher. (No offense Jags fans.)

Why are any NFL games being played in London?

Didn’t realize how much that owner looked like Mario.

And did somebody just say they would prefer Tebow at quarterback? Ah, ignorance.

I’m pretty sure Manchester United would be willing to take on the Jags..and beat them handily

If we’re hoping to get London to be uninterested in American football, tossing Jags-Chiefs at them would be a great strategy.

great way to expand viewership, sending one of the worst teams over there for the next 4 years. Why not just make it an annual Jags/Browns game to see who’s the 31st best team in the league?

Any of those potential opponents are going to have one hell of a plane ride to get there. If Rodg is so set on playing in England, it should only be teams from the East Coast that go over.

They should have picked up Tebow instead of that dud Gabbert.
