This season the NFL had three games in London and then next season they're raising it to four.
The other games are Panthers vs. Bucs, Bengals vs. Rams, and Jaguars vs. Texas.
After next season the Packers will be the only team that hasn't made the trip.
Then there's also another international game in Mexico between Chiefs and Chargers.
The Bears upcoming schedule looks pretty fun. Chiefs, Chargers, Saints, and Cowboys are all coming to Chicago.

Re: NFL
I hope you're joking about both LA and San Diego. The stands are or were filled with more opposing team fans than home team fans.
And no, I've never been to a game in Oakland. But I see red Chiefs jerseys in the stands at every game. You even see them in the black hole sometimes. I can't imagine these people are having too terrible of a time if they're being respectful, much like Oakland fans at Chiefs games.

The 49ers and the Dolphins were a big pull at my school back in the 80's. It was all the Montana v Marino hype. I jumped on the Raiders bandwagon in 1984 watching Marcus Allen and Jim Plunkett beat the Redskins in Superbowl 18. I was obsessed with the NFL then (more than I am today). Don't know if you remember a paper we used to get weekly here called First Down? I think I had OCD with every single game stat!Japhy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 05, 2019 5:24 amAs a brit, i absolutely love this thread. I've been an enormous NFL fan since the mid 80's (given that, unsurprisingly a 49ers fan as it was really easy for my folks to get me a Montana top!) and try to follow everything as closely as i can.
There's still loads of little things (rules etc) that i don't completely get but it doesn't get close to dampening my enthusiasm. I loved Sunday's game, it was absolutely fascinating watching Belichick out-coach the Rams at every turn... ok, not high-scoring but great all the same.
And keep talking KV, i'm bloody loving the history lessons! Plus, hell-yeah to Major League... watched that tape to death lol.
It's a great sport to bet on too if you know your stuff...
Re: NFL
I don't have any stats but I'd like to think Chicago would rate low when it comes to violence at games. It's like Hokahey said sure you can find trouble if you're looking for it.
Unfortunately I have heard some bad stories about Chargers, Dodgers, and Raiders fans violently attacking people.

Re: NFL
Two quarterbacks still in the hunt, Mahomes and Watson that the Bears gave four draft picks up to jump ahead and pick Trubiski. It hurts. Supposedly they didn't even interview Watson.
Tom Brady this year still put up some good numbers and made the playoffs and keeps getting asked if he's gonna retire. They'll reload and it will show he still has plenty left.
A lot of these younger players have a body thats older than Brady's due to injuries like Wentz for example.
