Generated excitement with the Bucs and Tom Brady in Munich the first year, and Patrick and the Chiefs in Frankfurt the second year…now the Germans get the Jags treatment the English have been dealing with for years.

This may be the first time in my life I will be rooting for the Cowboys.

Season starts on a Friday this year.

I wouldn't invest much emotional capital into that one. This game is probably gonna be a beatdown.

Ya we got the Ravens last year and Eagles get a tomato can in their opener

I was told by someone affiliated with the team a week ago about this game, so they’ve definitely known for a period of time.

And in what world is 4 months not long enough to prepare for something like this?

Bore 'em in the early hours
 

10/5 Vikes vs Browns -London

10/12 Broncos vs Jets -London

10/19 Rams vs Jags -London

11/9 Falcons vs Colts -Berlin

11-6 Commanders vs Dolphins -Madrid

and this would be different from a normal sunday how???? :D

Sneaky link thread? Wut?

In Buffalo the dongs would be fake

Clark said right after the draft, the Chiefs were not officially told they were playing in Brazil, so presumably they just found out either last week or today.

The Chargers have known they are playing in Brazil since February.

The Packers as the visiting team received confirmation they were playing in Brazil last year in early April.

So yes the Chiefs are getting less lead time when you compare to other teams.

There is 0 chance they did not have the needed time to prepare for this.

And you listing out everything Clark said publicly as if he would tell the public before the NFL wanted him to is strangely naive.

The media point blank asked him during the post draft press conference if the team had been notified of possibly being selected to play in Brazil, and he said they had not.

That was April 26th.

So you are choosing naive.

All of these people should have just called FloridaMan so he could tell them they are going to need a heads up to plan this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFsCt5h2XJQ

So you are choosing to call Clark a liar.

Interesting, but on brand for you.

Even assuming you are correct, I find it hard to sympathize much with the Chiefs on this since they are basically waving their hands in the air for every possible international game they can get every year. I would bet they are plenty happy about this game and it's location.

International travel prep time is just about the weakest thing to cry about possible in ****ing May.

Passports.... why the hell would anyone wait for the schedule to be released to get their passport? They schedule international games every season, get your damn passport. Hell, it's probably a checklist item when you get drafted or during the offseason for all players.

Travel logistics... uh, book a hotel that probably already has rooms allocated for the event and get on your private jet? :spock:

This would be something the Jets or Browns or some awful organization would **** up and then we'd laugh at them for being so damn incompetent.

The fact the Chiefs are willing participants in these international games, is more reason for the NFL to reward good partners and ensure equity in the lead time for preparations.

If the Chargers received confirmation on February 19th that they were playing in Brazil this season, then the Chiefs should have as well.

It’s obviously not an insurmountable challenge, but to ignore the fact there are more logistical planning requirements involved to travel/play in Brazil, than in a normal away game, is to use Fat Zach’s term, “naive”.

Most teams will send an advance group of staff to the international location months before the game to plan for the logistics.

When the Chiefs played in Mexico City a few years ago, they made conditioning preparations for the players starting in training camp to prepare for the high altitude (and that game was not until November of that season).

I suppose the Chiefs are getting kinda screwed in that they have 3 fewer months than the Chargers to learn Portuguese.

Gonna need Super Duolingo at this point, what's THAT going to cost?!?

Acquiring a player that can't get a visa due to past criminal activity could be a problem.

"Touchdown! Kansas city!" can be taught on the plane ride over

Lot of Brazilian females on pornhub.

And shemales too!

And they all have the same freaking tan lines.

justchecked... sept 5th is a friday

I hate home games on Christmas

Isn't this like 3 straight years?

We're gonna be the default Christmas team now huh?

Don't like that very much, but oh well.

The rumor was they wanted to be a regular on the Christmas games. Chiefs just confirmed it on social media. Looks like it'll be on Amazon.

Nice!

Oh **** off with that. I hate having to watch the Chiefs on Christmas day. I'm good with literally any other day of the year. Just not Christmas.

No. I don’t think the NFL wants to make a permanent Christmas team. Because what happens when that team isn’t good anymore? Like with the Lions and Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Every team goes thru ups and downs. The Chiefs are just the hot hand right now.

Merry Christmas donkey scum.

I’ve got this bro.

Xoxota = pussy

Cuzao = big ass

Broncos media thinking they might win this game and the division this year is insane. Need to humble those bitches this year

Detroit sucked for years and years...and still pulled ratings on Thanksgiving. If the Chiefs pull XMas day until the end of Mahomes career (another 10-12 years)...they will become the staple. People will expect it, and will tune in anyway.

We let them off the hook last year. And it pissed me the F off.

Other than Chiefs/Chargers, not exactly a compelling international slate of games.

Tua will undoubtedly be injured for that Madrid game.

Vikes---two international games two weeks in a row

oof

They are striking while the iron is hot on the vikings. They had a good year last year, until the bitter end. They have a newer stadium that I hear is beautiful. Vikings fans are vikings fans, they don't jump teams. I bet they will travel well.

They just can't seem to flick the booger, like the old Chiefs.

Are these leaks supposed to be getting fans excited for the season? LMAO

Vikings are a big unknown with JJ McCarthy.

Only way I can see the schedule release being exciting is if you’re wanting to attend a game.

If you’re already a season ticket holder or you’re from out of town or just prefer to watch the games on tv, this shouldn’t get you excited at all. If it does, then whatever, have fun I guess. But some people treat this like a giant surprise. “WTF why did the NFL give us this hard of a schedule??!!” Uhh… you knew the opponents and the home/away matchups as soon as the season ended, dingus

Yeah this shit is stupid lol

Maybe it's just me but I dislike the Chiefs playing on Christmas.

Hate it.

Hate the stupid Friday night opener too

The Chiefs want to play on Christmas every year.

I also hate Christmas games. Friday night opener I see as kind of a bonus, though. It's a mini-bye tacked onto the beginning of the season that doesn't involve any short rest.

Yea it's really stupid...Christmas isn't Thanksgiving where you just cook and have family come over...Christmas is much time involved honestly and having to be invested in a game that is on when there are 500 things going on is frustrating.

Yeah, I'm beat from the presents and the kids in the morning through early evening.

Oh well, whatever.

So they've got the Vikings invading England and Ireland. Is that a nod toward history, or is it a lack of knowledge of history?

Man, you have such God-tier posts.

Kudos to you

We are going 20-0 anyway so it's likely the #1 seed will be sewn up by then. I'm normally passed out by 8pm after cooking Christmas dinner for 10 people and drinking for 10 people.

Personally, I’m in favor of no games on Christmas. But, you’ll never get their hands off that money grab at this point.

It's not quite a nod to history. The first English Kings (especially Æthelred the Unread) paid the Vikings an insane amount of gold to leave England alone. In this instance the Vikings are getting paid a shit load by Goodell to invade our Isles.

You two are on the same page.
