Wouldn't it be cool to see Tyler bray play a full game against a team of European starters that are actually trying to win? As a chiefs fan, I'd be intrigued. European fans would be intrigued. Over time, international teams could build future NFL players. Most importantly, it doesn't **** with starters or the regular season. |

What a shock at the home teams. Notice the Rooneys, Maras and krafts don't have to give up a home game overseas.

Problem with Pre-season games for NFL is A. they have already done this B. The product is really bad. As long as wembley is selling out these games will continue. Last edited by Danguardace; 12-13-2016 at 11:02 AM.. |

Limeys are prepared to pay for these games, a lot of franchises cant even sell out their games. Atlanta had tons of spare seats at the game I went to, Cleveland has tickets on Stubhub for $1, Teams like Oakland, Detroit, San Diego cant even get 60k people in their stadium when you only get 8 games a year.
This will go the same way as Cinema, Americans don't go to the movies any more (figuratively speaking) so now films are being marketed for Russia, China and India. If Americans don't want to fill stadiums any more there are a load of big cities in the world who will. Its the owners who don't Give a **** they want the $$$$ they don't care if it is yours or mine. |

Playing a quarter season of a home schedule in London = big bucks to all 32 NFL teams. Eventually they will have it where half teams play international games a year (4 in London, 4 in Mexico/Canada/Germany/Ireland), and rotate every year.
Essentially you would get an international franchise, without having an actual franchise in the locales and not having to worry about the W/L record or competitiveness and logistics factors, and major dollars to all the teams. Which players will like as well because the salary cap is based of league revenue. |

It is a big **** you to the cities that are giving enormous tax breaks and incentives to keep a stadium. They lose 1/8 of their home games and with that, a ton of tourism, hospitality, and entertainment $s. At some point the cities need to push back and say enough is enough. |

The nfl has tried preseason games. They have not tried friendlies or, as the mlb does, split squad games. There are plenty of creative ways to boost international interest and make money without ****ing with competition. |

I like the London games. Nothing like breakfast and football. I feel like a west-coaster.

I've read Pats and Raiders are playing in Mexico City next year. Kraft won't be giving up a home game!
