    who else thinks this is stupid? It's been going on for like 4 years maybe? And it's never a good game. It's always meaningless. And it's terrible for fantasy football players. Why do they still have games there?

    Saints - Dolphins 2017

    Bc the league is still trying to add an international team and London is the choice.

    Thursday night games are even worse. London games usually suck bc they send Jacksonville every week. Maybe we could just give them Jax.

    Will never work. Any team in London would be destined to suck forever. No quality free agents would want to sign with them and any good players they drafted would leave as soon as they are free agents.

    I'm sure the owners of the other teams in Jax division would veto it

    I've been attending the last two years. I enjoy getting the chance to see games in person, but even I am skeptical about having a team here. A good portion of the fans are the team's fans from home. To be fair, Wembley is too large at ~90k. There is a deal in place for some games at the new Spurs stadium building built. Might help to play in a smaller stadium. Many fans also come from all over Europe, unlikely to be willing to do that 8x a year. Then there are team allegiances already in place. I doubt everyone will automatically become a Jags fan overnight.

    Not only that, but how can she be a founding member when she joined in 2005?
