Maybe they'll go through walk thru's on the plane..?Australia is next. Nothing like a 24 hour plane ride to get the team ready.

Maybe they can relocate the Jets.
I have to imagine from a travel perspective they'll have to break the season into quarters where the London team will play 4 home, 4 away, 4 home and 4 away. It will really suck for the teams in that division having to go over every year. Putting that team in the east of either conference probably makes the most sense. The NFC east isn't getting split up. Maybe the Bills make the move and it's a no-brainer but as others have said most likely the Jags. That would likely mean the Dolphins get shifted to the AFCS to even out the divisions.
The Bills have a new owner who says he never will move them. I think if they do put a team in London, it'll either be Jaguars, Buccaneers or an expansion franchise. But whatever, it's a horrible idea.I have to imagine from a travel perspective they'll have to break the season into quarters where the London team will play 4 home, 4 away, 4 home and 4 away.

Jet set lifestyles are great when you're flying to Miami or Vegas to have a great time. Otherwise it's just plain old business travel, and business travel sucks.I was thinking the same thing scheduling-wise but doesn't that suck for the London team too? Sure some of them are young guys who wouldn't mind the jet-set lifestyle.
Nitwit NFL suits can't figure how to measure pounds per square inch properly, how badly will they screw up hectoPascals in London?
Also, the idea that this can't both be a smart business decision and ****ty for the fans is wrong. These are the same fans that gleefully watch 4 hours of commercials with 8 minutes of gameplay sprinkled in.
Just look at scheduling. We have a great system now. You play each in your division twice, one division in your conference on a three year rotation, the corresponding place finishers in the other two of the three in your conference, and one division in the other conference on a four year rotation. If they add any more teams or go to an 18 game schedule, how will that scheduling work? Would it be playing twice against the same place finishers in the two divisions you play?
Been there, tried that, but maybe they would call it "UK Europe" instead of "NFL Europe."Don't understand why they don't just start up a subsidiary league based in England rather than stick one team in the nfl. You don't need to make it wildly successful overnight. Start with a few team and let it grow naturally.
Yeah, that would be a good strategy to kill the idea. The logistics of setting the schedule today are already daunting. That would make them darn near impossible. Good idea!Players best demand in the next CBA that the 8 teams that play there have their bye week after that game.
Lol at the bolded
