i start to be pessimistic on it.

probably it will be delayed one year...

of course only my opinion

i hope to be wrong and that the game @ London will be playied this autumn...

what do you think ?

I hope there won't be a game over there, the time difference and distance makes it stupid. It's supposed to be 2007, not 2006, we'll see.

I feel for you ITPT, but it is an inherently bad idea to play a regular season game overseas. Still, if the CBA extends, I'd expect the league to make a go of it.

Here's a question for you: would you attend if it was the Ravens vs the Jaguars?

I hope there isn't a game played overseas as well. Too much of a hassle.

Don't get your hopes up at all. A team like the Pats won't be playing in the UK any time soon. They'd be losing some $10 million in revenue just from not filling up a 68,000 seat stadium. Except some lesser teams (like the Cardinals/49ers game in Mexico) to go, if there's any game in England, simply because they need the publicity and they're not missing much leaving home.

Even if it's designated as an away game for the Patriots, I can still easily see Kraft & co. reject to deviating from the norm - which brought them the Lombardis.

it could be a Patriot road game not an 'home' game...

i agree with you...it will NEVER be a game yhat could be playied at 'The Razor'.

but : i do not think the Pats will be one of the two teams.

but i will go there whatever game will be playied IF it will be playied...
i have heard that the possibilities about IND-JAX game could be high but also
NE @ MIA has many supports...

for me it could be a 'sold out' with Nfl fans coming from all Europe and perhaps also fans from Usa of the 2 teams.

now the finally the CBA has been finalized let's see if the game will be playied or not...i am not so optimistic (in Uk too...)

someone has some sort of news ?
