The three games at Wembley for next year have been announced:
Dallas @ Jacksonville
Detroit @ Atlanta
Miami @ Oakland

Even though I'd be pissed off if I had a season ticket for one of the three home teams, I'm pretty pleased with these matchups :icon_bigg

Oakland again :038: already decided to try and get a ticket for it. I'm not really in favour of the international series business but good to see the game get an increased profile over here.
 
One of the comments on the ESPN article on the matchup announcement:

if you want to build a fan base there, why not send them the best match-up the NFL has to offer? The Premier League would never try to gain viewership in the states by sending us a Leicester City v. Swindon Town match-up

Quite an interesting story though. There's a lot more sympathy out there for Martin than there would have been a few years ago, when the "man up" brigade would have been much more in the majority.

That whole division is a bit ****ed up. The Eagles are on a decent run, but if they're the best that division has to offer, then it's a pretty bad sign.

Kevin Cadle just called San Francisco v New Orleans the 'big west coast clash'. The ****?!

It's not like he could even get away with saying it on the basis that it's in San Fran (which would still be ridiculous), as they're away. What a doughnut.

Skins D has been shite for years, Special Teams is epicalyl bad this year and Kyle & Mike Shanahan's O strategy is mind boggling all season

And yet they are consistently over the salary cap, Snyder must take a fair amount of blame too. Last year they got a long way on the back of RG3, but ultimately they were risking damaging him by exposing home to so many big hits. They now don't appear to have much of a new plan.

they're actually $17m UNDER the real cap, a penalty they (and the Cowboys) bottled suing over which they would have won, no NFL team is over the cap, unlike other spots the NFL won't let you make a move that would put you over, its a hard cap unlike the soft cap with Luxury tax in the NBA
 
yes its a bogus penalty, how can you be over a cap that didn't exist, it was proof of collusion and they should have taken the penalty to court, only team that complained were the Giants, there was something done somewhere behind the scenes to get the Cowboys and Skins to both agree to drop it.

they were probably told how much money the NFL could be sued for by the NFLPA if they didn't
