The NFL has strongly committed to placing NFL teams in L.A. and London. Is it a coincidence that the Jaguars were the team chosen to play the 49'ers in London this week? I mean, this game probably won't even be close, but there was a reason the NFL chose the Jaguars for this game. I don't know how committed Shad Khan is to the Jacksonville area, and he is a businessman, if London or L.A. offered him the right price and stadium, I don't see the Jags staying in Jacksonville much longer. What do y'all think, Jags to London permanently?

It would suck to be on that team and have to fly over here several times every fall

Just fly them over there and leave them. No one would notice.

Yes, there was....same reason why they had the Vikings and Steelers game there a few weeks ago.

The Jaguars are playing a game in London every year until 2016. Next year it's Cowboys vs. Jags, and there's 3 regular season games there for the first time. (Dolphins-Raiders and Lions-Falcons)

Nobody here gaf about American football. An NFL team in London would fail miserably.

A franchise in London would have no shot at being competitive. Not only that, it would be a scheduling nightmare unless the team invested in an old Concorde.

You could put them in the AFC East. What is the difference in flying to the west coast and flying to London? It's not like they are flying coach across the Atlantic.

I just can't believe they refuse to sign Tebow. Throw their fans a bone. He cannot possibly be worse than Gabbert or Henne.

The same Shahid Khan that owns Fulham FC, that is in London, England.

Plus the NFL can keep LA vacant as their consistent threat to any cities that don't want to build a new stadium cough*minneapolis*cough
