Why are they doing more and more International locations to play?
NFL closed NFL EU (and never gave a good reason why) and now they are taking US teams and playing in London (3 games) and this year, Nov. 21st they're playing in Mexico; It's the Texans and Raiders in a Monday night game at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.

Are they thinking about starting an international league?

I don't "think" they are considering an Int'l league, but if they are, it's many years down the road. Even more years than Elio starting production. :drum:

I cannot imagine the cost to send to England 2 full NFL teams, training staff, cheerleaders, coaches, TV crew, uniforms, materials needed on the field, setting up the field for American football, hotel, food, etc. etc. It's a big number! :biggrin1:

Man, in my weekly picks, I only got 6 correct. What a weird week in the NFL. How about that Saints loss? They had should have put it into overtime. What an odd time for a rare 2-point conversion return for 2 points to happen. Yay for all the Broncos fans out there. My wife's a Saints fan (and a Cowboys fan so I won't weep much) so she wasn't thrilled with the loss. But, it worked out good for my Falcons. If they can just get healthy and back on track...

Aside from Coss' Seahawks rave- I see no mention of Brady crashing lol, that pompous a_s. Or that other loser,Tim Tebow, who crashed after college.
AND They gotta get a better definition of pass interference- Seems most long balls have a 50-50 potential of being called.
(The Chiefs are the one to watch)

Are you doing Foxsports Pickem? I got 9 the wife got 7; in the overall standings I'm 3,789th; we have our own 2 person group and it's 89 to 87 (I've got the 87 :()

It worked out good for the Falcons? How? They lost; 15 to Eagle's 24

The game that really surprised me was Green Bay against Tennessee; Titans were scoring almost every time they had the ball Titans 47 Packers 25

I meant as far as a loss goes, it worked out well for the Falcons that at least 2 of the 3 other teams in the division lost as well. It doesn't move us out of first place in the division. Of course, it DID kind of move us out of contention for that #2 seed which would keep us out of the Wildcard round... But, at least we didn't fall out of it all yet.

Green Bay really surprised me as well. Ouch!

Will your stupid Falcons stop F'N around?! Although the Panthers look dead (in terms of record), they still have a shot because of the Falcons not being able to win. This happens every year it seems. Look really good for a while, then take a big shit. Now, I don't think either of the teams in the NFC South to make the SB, but just keep the damn Panthers out of the playoffs.

I love how Cam brought the dab back, then gave away a stupid pick 6....hahaha
