Seattle at London
NEXT ON CBS!!! Seriously though, let's start bringing regular season English Premier League games over here and we'll see how much those blimey Brits like having their home field advantage yanked and moved to another country. |

A team in London would be at a severe disadvantage to the rest of the NFL.
Only 8 other teams would need to make the long trip to London once a year, but the London team would have to travel to the US for 8 of their games. Those are long flights (8 hours each way to New York and about 10 hours to LA) and they would be making lots of them during the year and that would make everything harder to deal with, timewise. |

The one thing Clark Hunt repeats himself in saying in interviews is his belief in building a championship team through the draft. Until we do that with a QB I'm going call him a liar. I want to believe we will draft a QBotf in next years draft with our first pick but I know we wont.

If West Virginia is struggling with constantly traveling to play their Big 12 opponents, I forsee some slight struggles with the travel to and from London.
BUT, if we want to Roger it up for a moment, what if the team in London played all of their home games in a row and all of their away games later in the season. For example. First Eight Games: LONDON (Each U.S. team would have a bye after they play against the euros.) BYE WEEK FOR TEH REDCOATS Last Eight Weeks: Away Games in the TEH RED WHITE AND BLUE. --- Yes, I know this is a ****poor idea, but what can good ol' Roger really do here? Perhaps he could institute a second bye week, and the londoners first four games could be at home, the next eight away, and the last four at home as well? (To ensure that the home crowd doesn't lose interest in a league an ocean away, of course.) TL;DR: Roger's available options to make this idea happen are TERRIBLE, but he'll do it anyways. Only naturally would such a thing be so natural.
Spoiler!

Botom Line: You will see no first-round QB picked by this franchise until Smith is gone and the other clowns on the QB roster have fallen short. And even then, the grand tradition of taking "a proven number 2, and giving him a shot at starting" will continue to be the preferred method. Abandon hope, all ye' who enter here.

It's inevitable that the expansion of the league will push the product into other countries. Only a matter of time.
I just hope they don't try to put one of those teams in our division. |
