JetsMania Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/15631176.htm Interesting. They would set up a rotation so that teams would only lose 1 home game every 16 years. Canadates for next year (if they go ahead and do it) would be canada, mexico, england and germany. The teams that play abroad would get a bye the following week so that they can adjust to the time change. I guess I wouldnt mind to much if they played them abroad? Thoughts?

Accord Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Didn't they play a game in Mexico City last year? I think ti was the Niners and Cardinals. Pretty sure it was pre-season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fritz Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Didn't they play a game in Mexico City last year? I think ti was the Niners and Cardinals. Pretty sure it was pre-season though. It was a regular season game. I guess it's a possibility if the NFL wants to break down barriers and gain popularity outside of North America. I'd probably hate it when the Dolphins would have to do it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSwift25 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The MLB Japan experiement really didn't do much (at least as far as I perceive). To me, it's pointless and unnecessary. To the most vocal critic, you could argue it's a tremendous disadvantage as home-field really does matter in the NFL, and this completely takes it away, and in a sport where a single game matters extensively, it's going to be met with opposition.

Mabdul Doobakus Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 It's a good way to piss off each NFL homebase every 16 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fan Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Exhibition? No problem Regular season? No way. With such a short professional season of 16 weeks and only 8 home games a year, every game counts. I don't like this idea at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
