Never was a fan of the overseas games.
At least it won't cost Denver a home game.

This is stupid, why don't they pit two ridiculously good teams or a really competitive divisional game if they're trying to sell their product...

Well San Diego and New Orleans went last year, and it was a shootout. Can't get much more exciting than that.

In all fairness, a lot of the teams have made sense. Year one you had the Phins, who are arguably the biggest team here. Year 2 had Saints and Chargers, two very good teams with very big names (Reggie Bush, Drew Brees back to face Chargers, LT), Year 3 had New England, and of course Tampa who have the Glazers who own Manchester United here, and this year the 49ers are coming, who are big here too due to the 80s boom for NFL over here.

The city that loses out on a home game against there biggest rival will go ape IT'S IN FACT EASIER TO JUST TYPE THE SWEAR AND LET THE CENSORS WORK, THAN TO HALF-*** IT YOURSELF if that happened

They are smart enough to not do that. Thats why all the games are inter-conference matchups.

Don't worry this is probably the last time through the Russian Roulette wheel for a while, no repeats I would think.

If you click the link I posted, there is talk of a second European game being announced in the next 2 weeks, and there has been talk of 2 next year, before possibly 4 in 2012, the International Games don't appear to be going away, sorry to burst your bubble.

Then play the other game in a neutral site in between the two and declare neither as home or away.
I am against this whole London thing, pro bowl or something should be played there... But at the same time, if you're gonna do it, don't half ass it.
Colts Patriots in London would show the everyone what the NFL is about, if they don't like that then it's just not for them.
