NFL.com: NFL, Jaguars extend agreement to play at Wembley through 2020

I take it the language is such that if there is a permanent team there before 2020 then it satisfies the terms of the agreement. Either way, the NFL clearly has no intention of abandoning London any time soon.

And then there's this...

ESPN.com: Jaguars players unsure if they will like tweak to London schedule

These experiments expecting better results crack me up. The reason the Jags lose in London is the same reason they lose in Jacksonville and every other US city.....because they have a shitty team.

Unfortunately, Jacksonville is making a serious mark in London...28 unanswered in the last 3 minutes of football. Unreal. Rex Ryan really needs to come back and be DC in Baltimore...Buffalo sucks!

Jacksonville needed to make an impression on their soon-to-be home crowd. Extra motivation.

If we and Buffalo both miss the playoffs next year, too, I could see Rex being linked to Baltimore. As their Head Coach potentially. Especially if the narrative continues to be the defense sucking.

Ill take him back as a DC in a heartbeat. No way do I want him to be the head coach.

I took it easy Saturday night, so I really enjoyed the London game at 9:30am this week.

 

I'll be drinking my balls off this Saturday night, so I don't think I'll enjoy next weeks.  Though we do get an extra hour so that might help.

I'm going to the Wiz/Knicks game Saturday night.  How jealous is everyone??

NFL expands London series to four games in 2017

 

The NFL announced Friday the league expanded the 2017 London series to four games.

 

"We continue to be incredibly excited by the passion and love for the NFL shown by our millions of UK fans," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "London is an amazing city. We have had tremendous support from our fans, from Mayor Khan and other government leaders and business partners, and we are looking forward to taking the next step in the UK by playing four games in London next season."
