London games have jumped the shark... Jets at Dolphins there in 2015

this means if they wanted to be dicks they'd put Falcons at Saints one year... most of the previous London games have been interconference, but now that they've deemed it okay, you'll start seeing some division games, which should NEVER be moved overseas in Wembley

Dolphins probably agreed to do it. What is their attendance like?
If it's shitty, then I understand

It would probably be Saints at Falcons.
Falcons don't have much of a fan base and don't sell out. The Dolphins never pack their stadium.
When the Saints where the home team, the fan base was no where near like it is now.
The majority of these games the home team has a small fan base, not in a major market or doesn't sell out on the regular. There is a reason the NFC East, Steelers, Bears, Packers etc are not home teams for this.

Didn't they just add a stipulation that if you want to host a Super Bowl, you have to give away a home game to London?

yea, the saints with their 5 year season ticket wait list are going to have a home game in London LOL

the issue isn't that the Dolphins lose a home game... somebody has to.
the issue is that it's a DIVISIONAL game. it creates an imbalance for the Jets who have their three home divisional games PLUS one at a neutral site
the only thing worse would be to randomly play one playoff game in London

The worst one was when Brees got to play against his old team the Chargers for the first time.
Game was supposed to be at the Dome, but was moved to London.
I wish they'd just move a team over there ASAP and stop with this foolishness. Hopefully Jacksonville.
That way nobody would be losing a home game.

I'm sure Texans @ Jags will be there soon

You know what doesn't jump the shark? The NFL on my TV at 8:30 AM on Sunday morning.

As long as it's morning kickoff like Falcons/Loins I'm all for it.
