I think the regular continent-hopping that the London players would do would more than outweigh any advantage a prolonged homestand might have.

A distinct advantage would come if the London team had home playoff games. The travelling US-based team would have no buffer time. I'm sure the NFL wouldn't give a rats-arse, but it would be an advantage nonetheless. I personally can't stand the idea of a London-based team. I think it causes more problems than it's worth.

Pretty much agree, teams already have some trouble adjusting to 3 time zones. Try another Euro League if really need to expand overseas, try a B league with some percent of Euro citizen players involved, perhaps with some B league cities her e in Americas.

We're talking about the Jaguars here, dude. Let's remain realistic.

Over the long-term though this is probably much more of a disadvantage to a London team having to play road games in the playoffs. The London Jags would be smart to keep a second home of sorts on the continental US for training camps and for deep playoff runs.

Generally, London seems forced. Can't imagine this market really wants an NFL team. The league though is just looking for new revenues. Mexico City would make more sense for a first international team (not counting when the Bills play in Toronto or somesuch).

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone. Wishing us all a great 2016.

I might be wrong, but seems with Weeden at QB, then our WR, RB, even TEs, seem to be doing better. Maybe a maturing process , takes a little patience with these mostly young players and coaches and revolving QB. And Texans at 8-7, have a few good wins to go with their blooper losses. BUT a 34- 6 win is pretty good against any team.
