Figured they'd send Oakland to Mexico again in addition to London since they theoretically don't have a home stadium next season.

Packers still managed to avoid a London trip.

I agree with the above poster. Nothing wrong with the international games but having it between divisional rivals is ? especially when a home game and victory can determine a division winner.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......

Goddell is so hell bent on expanding the game yet NONE of those scheduled games for London scream must see. You have a mismatch in the Rams and Bengals. The Texans are much better than the Jags.The Panthers and Bucs are not on the same level. Carolina is a better team.

Dan should be pissed about losing a home division game though but at the same time divisions are old news and are overrated in today's environment.

He can’t be worried that much about going global, he won’t go past London and Mexico City

With the Raiders/Rams/Chargers in temporary stadiums, we knew that they would get international games. Jags have been doing one for a while now.

TB/CAR too now?

Panthers have not made the trip yet. Don’t think the Texans have either. They’ve been trying to get everyone, remember when this was launched everyone was supposed to give up a home and road game but for various reasons that hasn’t happened.

Bucs were told they had to concede a game to get the Super Bowl.

Pretty shitty it's a division game though.

I was going to try to go to Bears/Raiders if it were in one of Oakland/SF/Santa Clara, got a buddy who works out there for the Giants. So much for that.

The Dolphins were told the same thing the year they took the Jets home game from us.

Giving up a home game to get a Super Bowl, even as a division game, is nothing.

Agreed.

Superbowls will be going to SF, LA when finished, AZ, Hou, ATL, NO, Mia, TB, LV (when finished). Dallas likely gets another shot down the road. So, asking them to give up a game to host the big game is a fair trade off when the northern teams don't get to host them, unless they recently built a new dome stadium.

As for each team giving up a home game, with the moves by the Chargers, Rams, and Raiders, they make the easiest teams to give up a home game. That will change once their new stadiums are completed.
