Anyone seen the games for next year?

'The MIAMI DOLPHINS will host the NEW YORK JETS in Week 4 on Sunday, October 4, the JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS will host the BUFFALO BILLS in Week 7 on Sunday, October 25, and the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS will host the DETROIT LIONS in Week 8 on Sunday, November 1, at Wembley next season, the NFL announced today.'

Happily surprised the Lions are coming back again, so I get another chance to see them, but hopefully they won't make it quite as close as this year! Jets and Dolphins is a big game, with the obligatory Jags game in there. Be interesting to see what ticket sales are like
Any idea when the tickets go on sale? Will have made it to two games this year (will be there Sunday) and would love a season ticket to get all of the games with my son.

Jeez Cinci are awful tonight. They've really fallen off a cliff since the Pats spanked them.

How 'bout them , er, Browns.

Didn't think I'd be writing that at this stage in the season...

I'm a bit disappointed with the games next years for London. No real big name teams.

There is a large fan base here for all those teams, even the Chiefs, seen loads of Chiefs gear about for some reason.

Possibly intentional in some respect, to assess the the effect of how less attractive matchups on attendances, and also having games on consecutive weekends. I will have been at 2 of 3 games this year, and will do at least the same next year.

Interesting to see that the first game is actually a divisional game.

The Jets and the Dolphins are pretty popular in the UK surely? The soon to be London Jaguars are going to be "Britain's Team" so get used to supporting them. biggrin

Wotcha chaps.

Packers vs Bears this weekend (after Ohio vs Michigan state) so I've filled up the beer fridge and look forward to Chicago getting thrashed.

Still not sure why I'm surprised to see the Bengals turning a great run of form into such an awful one, the Browns played well but the Bengals made tons of stupid mistakes. Hopefully they'll bounce back but it's hard to envisage.
Patriots continue to impress, really fancy them for a deep playoff run, if not a Super Bowl appearance. Also still like the Broncos' chances, but they're still a bit fragile in places. Still love them though
Steelers vs Ravens was a great game, nearly didn't bother watching it as I hate them both, but there was some great football played.

Just got home from tonight's game at Wembley. usually take my son, but wife and daughter came along too and had a brilliant time so credit to Wembley and the NFL vibe. First time sitting up in the gods but the view was spectacular. Will stick up some pics tomorrow. Great, great game, Cowboys came out strong. Romo delivered tonight

Yeah - especially after tonight's game which just dragged on and on particularly first half - endless interruptions and the PA was so loud - no temptation to return for any of them

Had a feeling the Jets would pull out an upset, but then I think that most weeks.. They have been underperforming and can give any team a run for their money, nice to have the warm feeling of a win for a change.

It suggests having Vick as a starter has been a good move, as he seemed to contribute both with his arm, and legs - passing the 6000yd rushing mark (a first for a QB).

Looks like there's life in the old dog yet!! (for want of a better phrase, sorry.. hehe)

yes Stayed up to 4am and the end of the 3rd quarter. Really hoping AR would go for the record but he didn't seem to be that interested.

Chicago's secondary was just comically bad last night (and Rodgers was just epic). Never seen such a destruction.

Yep, just a brilliant performance. I was a bit miffed they put Flynn on so early but I suspect it's one of those records that players don't really think about. Plus it's nice to think that after last year's injury fest they're looking after the talent a bit more and not risking that hamstring.

The hangover is utterly rotten, totally worth it. Unless you're my Bears-obsessed neighbour biggrin

Jarrett getting the start over Pryor also helped quite a bit.

How lucky/unlucky is Carson Palmer!

Obviously unlucky due to the injury, but he'd just inked (2-3 days ago) a 50 million extension with 20 mil guaranteed!
