London Jaguars

[unluckysob]

London Jaguars. Better get used to it. NFL wants a team in Europe. They had a schedule figured out years ago. 3 in london, 3 in US, then 3-3, then 2-2. Now with a 17 game schedule, league will have to add a game somehow. Play offs be fuked up years Jags get in.

And one international game for London team in Mexico or Germany. I wouldn’t call games in USA for London team “international”.

The city of Jacksonville will not allow it. The loss of revenue will lot make it viable. The Jaguars are getting a lot of freebies from the city to have the team there.

I've thought this for a while. Jaguars are tailor-made for London. The owner Khan also owns Fulham FC.

My only question: *Does it become MULTIPLE European teams?
...One team in London and one team in Germany?

There's one thing NFL Owners like more than Money. That's MORE MONEY.

Note the Jaguar two-week stay in England. That could become the norm.

This isn't new. A few years back (2016?), the Redskins almost played two consecutive games in London, one home and one away. It didn't happen because one of the potential opponents didn't finish in the same position in their division as the Redskins did in theirs.

It's all about testing the waters. I've thought that the NFL is trending to:

1) TWO European-based teams.
2) Expansion to 34 teams.
3) Extend schedule to 18 games, which works better as an Even #.
...The players hated this, until they got a requisite amount of $$.

4) Stretch out the Playoffs to a Full 16 teams.
5) Add one time slot. The Sunday 930am window, which would now become standard.

Everything you mentioned sounds awful and ruins a good product

i wish i could control the nfl no fawkking international games we been playing in london since 2007 16 years now 6 teams per year

thats 96 teams only 1 team won a super bowl that played in london take your pic u get 95-1 odds but sports books do not have that option

imagine if they did taking in 1 million $5 bets yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I don't think they need a permanent team anywhere overseas.

Add a few games in Australia would be plenty of international exposure

Shad Khan has totally invested his time and money into downtown Jacksonville and the city of Jacksonville. Unless he's one sick SOB that only cares about money, I dont see it happening to have his reputation tarnished. Only way I see it ever happening is if the fanbase becomes fickle like the tampa bay ray fans.

He owns Fulham so the switch to London would not be a big of a jump as some might think.

What does owning another team in another sport with a team that originated from there have to do with moving the jags overseas.

Political contacts to make the move happen. Fulham did a renovation on their Thames stand, that is difficult to do if anyone knows that part of London.

Get back to me when the financial and legal issues have been addressed. Until then...

I believe the Aussies would love the NFL.
Problem there is the schedule makers are going to have to be super creative with all the added travel time etc. etc.
