Why are the nfl sending these shit teams to london?

**TheSchafe** · 11-01-15, 12:36 AM

Why would the NFL send it's main draws over when they could throw two teams out there who have trouble selling tickets in their home markets? Roger Goodell could take a shit in the middle of Wembley Stadium and sell tickets and it'd still sell out.

Because good teams don't want to give up a home game.

**packerd_00** · 11-01-15, 12:55 AM

Good question,I have heard a lot of talk about the NFL bringing a franchise to London,but how are they going to draw interest by bringing all the shitty teams over.

**pattymayo** · 11-01-15, 12:57 AM

like anyone in London knows or cares about the Jags vs the Broncos? same shit to them.

**Slanina** · 11-01-15, 01:01 AM

Could you imagine how much the NFL would make from merchandise if they added a franchise in London. Holy Bonkers.

It would be pretty wild,Brady has played here before if im not mistaken. But this year the teams they have sent have been shit.

They may have to sooner or later,the fans over here know their Football,so if Godell thinks he's fooling anybody he's got another thing coming.

I would really like to know if anyone on the west coast has actually gotten up early enough to catch one of these games.

Simplicity,thank you for clarifying this for every one.

**Ralphie Halves** · 11-01-15, 03:44 AM

All good answers.

NFL will have team in London one day. It's Goodell's mission.

**seaborneq** · 11-01-15, 04:16 AM

Before the season starts no one knows what the record is going to be of the teams going to London. I thought for sure Kansas city and Detroit would have winning records this year. Books had them both at 8.5 wins for the regular season. If they were both 6-1 instead or 1-6 or 2-5 we would not be calling them shit teams. Detroit was one horrible call from winning a playoff game last year. Chiefs blew a playoff game a few years ago after being up 4 TDs. A team can turn to shit really quick

**Patrick McIrish** · 11-01-15, 04:27 AM

Sharp post.

**darrell74** · 11-01-15, 04:44 AM

Expansion: 1 team in London, 1 team in Los Angeles

**turtlejc** · 11-01-15, 06:39 AM

So will they change it from the NFL to the IFL?

**shaunovery** · 11-01-15, 07:02 AM

All those Americans stop bloody moaning , rumours are there may be 5 games nxt year played in 2 stadiums, wembley and the Olympic stadium,

As for the shit teams coming these games are advertised nearly a year in advance so no questing how they will perform , Packers will never come as for patriots they have been here

But more likely as the good team being the ROAD team, which I believe the Patriots were when they went. That makes it hard to schedule two good teams against each other overseas.

**jjgold** · 11-01-15, 08:45 AM

It will continue for a long time too

NFL signed a deal recently to keep playing

I think teams must get money

Do you think Brady, Manning and myself have all told the NFL to go fuk off?

I just dont see how sending the jags , kansas and detroit is going to impress anyone.

Lions and Chiefs has winning records last year.

**klemopixx** · 11-01-15, 09:42 AM

The games suck because its like a paid vacation for the teams. Ride around, see the sights, eat in fancy restaurants, tap some European ass, they are not into busting their ass out there.

**lakerboy** · 11-01-15, 10:01 AM

lets not forget if london gets a team they will be shit for awhile. let the fans get used to that.

then again they have the three lions

**AaronRodgers12** · 11-01-15, 10:04 AM

Imagine the draw if they had one of the better games!

Imagine the Packers vs Broncos!

**daneblazer** · 11-01-15, 10:06 AM

They like sending teams with stadium issues over there to burn a home game

Kansas City has stadium issues?????? Arrowhead?????

**daneblazer** · 11-01-15, 10:16 AM

Buffalo Minnesota Jacksonville oakland. Not every team that goes over there wants a new stadium or has trouble selling out, but it certainly helps your chances if you do

Chiefs have no prob selling tickets even with the shit teams they have been putting on the field. Clark Hunt the owner of the Chiefs is on the International committee, that is why he agreed to take KC over there.

**zert** · 11-01-15, 11:21 AM

That was what I was going to say. KC has no problem with selling out. Big tailgaters. It is tough on fans to give away a home game.

True enough mate,the fans in England want to see the guys like Manning,Brady and Rodgers etc. Dont know how many times weve had the Jags over here,but it's been alot.
