Todd Gurley not a fan of International NFL games.

Being in Los Angeles they have to travel almost 11,000 total miles for this 1 game.  You almost need to leave Monday with all the time changes to get your body use to that and then start practicing.  Then leave immediately after the game and get back into the swing of things for your next game (hopefully its at home).  There have been players that have said they did not like this and I agree.  Plus as a fan we are shorted one game (if we are the home team).  IDK I do not like it!

Agree with this. I'm not much of a fan of it.

 All comments are valid as long as you understand that it doesn't matter whether present-day players, coaches or fans like it or not.   Its a business move long range for the future.

So is the upcoming game in Mexico..

 

     Europe is questionable to me. I would very much like to see the NFL in Mexico. Soon.

But again. It does not matter what I think.   They've already said these games will continue.

mo money mo money mo money :cash:

 

They won't stop until they die.

 

If you want to grow your sport internationally, at least show them a good product, and Minnesota vs Browns is for the sewers.. Mexico gets a nice game. But Poor London gets to see crap after crap after crap. Hopefully next year the AFC north plays the NFC west so we can give London the Browns vs 49ers! :thmup:

Mexico City actually makes some sense because it's plausible that there could be an NFL team there.  The time zones arn't that different.

 

London on the other hand, while the atmosphere is great there, I'm not sure what the long term plan is there?  An NFL team in London?  The time zone change would create all sorts of issues.  They would have the biggest homefield advantage in the NFL while having the biggest visiting disadvantage in the NFL because of timezones and jet-lag.

 

Trying to re-open an NFL Europe which the NFL could use as a minor league might be an idea but they have to get people on board not only in London but in several major cities in Europe.

    • This is spot on. Small market, and people want to think a St Elmo's steak, the combine and Manning's legacy is enough for people to want to just come to Indy to play. We don't have the night life, climate, roster or tax breaks to incentivize anyone to come here.  So the only way to do it is money.  We would automatically have to mark up every offer we want to make by 5-10% to have a chance at most of the top guys.  And the unfortunate reality of first tier free agents is that their value already gets marked up 20% to that players actual worth, so Ballard is probably out before the real negotiations are even taking place. We can afford to do that move for like ONE marquee player when the roster is ready....but not now, not on a good player who hit free agency because their former team didn't find them important enough to keep them.  We can never fall back on the fact that a we can lure a player here because of external factors.....because those will typically work against us. There was extensive discussion about this on page 48 of this thread. 
    • Yeah, his athleticism is from another planet.     To bad he doesn't believe in it(anything outside of the Earth). That media availability at the combine, didn't help his draft stock.
    • If they stick to that logic:    Tyler Owens SAF Texas Tech 12’2”   The broad jump record of 12 feet and three inches belongs to former Connecticut cornerback Byron Jones, who set the mark in 2015. Jones went on to be a first-round pick and it’s likely in part due to the explosive athleticism he showcased in this very drill.    He almost tied the record for longest broad jump 
    • This. Ballard has already traded a first round pick and got an additional 2nd. He had to trade out of the first round and the 2nd was the following year. I believe it was with Washington.  I’m with you. I highly doubt any team will give up their 1st and 2nd or 3rd for the 15th pick. 
    • Yep Love at first sight is a real thing. Congratulations Anthony and Jada.
