It would look like it but how will their fans watch their away games????


I think they need to have four teams and have their own division which would make sense

Yeah, fans don't want to watch struggle yahoo streams. This is a bad idea, keep the NFL in america

Some of y'all don't know but I work for the Nba helpdesk. Our company provides the software and hardware to state games and push those stats to the web. My boss told me just two days ago that it's already a done deal. Jax to London. He said it was a done deal when Shad bought the team. My boss was just at the D League showcase and was talking to some nba execs and they told him that.

i hope he's wrong. but damn that's crazy.

Just move the jags to st louis or something

The only way I see this working is like this:

AFC East:

New England Patriots
NY Jets
Buffalo Bills
London B Johnson's' (Formerly the Jaguars)

AFC South:

Houston Texans
Indianapolis Colts
Tennessee Titans
Miami Dolphins

That London flight for any of those AFC east teams is the same flight as playing on the West Coast.

You'd only have real problems with every 4th year playing the NFC West.

I'm still surprised they haven't put a team in Canada yet. You would think they would try that first to see how shyt goes before making the big jump to across the sea.

Veeery Unlikely, the grass just about manages the games we have over here now, so i doubt we'd want all those games on it.

It's more likely we'd either use Twickenham, our purpose Rugby stadium, or, the new Tottenham stadium, which i believe will have changable playing surfaces.


Oh also, if we do get the Jags, you're all gonna have to pronounce Jag-u-ars properly.





We've sold out every game played here so far :yeshrug: How it'd work with an actual franchise I'm not sure, but i think it could work.
Have they finally started construction on that stadium?:ohhh:

Umm. Why not try a team in Canada first? Or are the Bills the non official Canadien team?

Having a team in London is terrible for everyone

A London NFL team would be playing from a remarkable competitive disadvantage. From unique scheduling of their games out of necessity, to drafted players refusing to go play in England, to attracting free agents with options to come without drastic overpaying. You'd have to give London a higher salary cap from the beginning.
Why wouldn't players want to play in London? It's like the 2nd biggest city in the western world. People play in places like Cleveland, Green bay, Detroit and shyt and they'll refuse to play in London :mjlol:. And scheduling, they'll just play in the evening as teams usually do and that will be during the day in the us, as usual. The only difference would be the taxes.

And the only problem will be the travel times, between 6-7 hours up east (Like La to NY, so that's no biggie) to about 10-11 hours out west.
