No chance. I think it may be Cowboys or Redskins or Bears involved.
Im suprised it isnt going to Germany myself. Great if its true though. Means i dont have to go there. :thumbup:

Oh, and I think the games in London are a good idea but they need to make sure they have a better pitch next time. I'd also prefer if the Dolphins sat this one at this time.

Dolphins or Giants won't be returning. I could see the Cowboys or the Patriots being involved.

Weather didnt help. Torrential downpour caused it. Was a joke. Ruined a great spectacle for me.

Let the Patriots go and make them the home team

There will still be more Dolphin fans at the game than Patsie fans. Guarantee.

I think the Patriots and Dallas could be potential candidates.

altho i hope the pats dont come. last i wanna see is more hype on that team.

Good. Hope they are booed throughout

I hope the Pats come over. it will give me a chance to throw some rotten eggs at Brady :thumbup:

Gotta wonder what it would look like to send a team from Boston, called the Patriots, to play in London. Sorry, random political history thought.

All of the NFL teams are supposed to take turns playing in the UK.The Dolphins and the Giants have met their obligations.

The Dolphins were lucky that the game didnt affect their playoff aspirations and they got a lot of brownie points from the league because they lost a home game .

Yeah Soccer and Football field grass are two different worlds. They need to really work on laying grass just for the event. You could not even see the players shoes in some areas of the field.

If the NFL wants to try to get teams around the world for a true championship...then good for them. But it sucks for the fans that do not have the $$$ to travel overseas to see the game. When any team goes there to play, fans are shafted here and the teams are shafted a home game.

Maybe they could consult with Pittsbu..... oh wait baaaaad idea, sorry.

Anyway, I think the Packers, Pats, Cowboys, Indy, San Diego would be some good choices.

After the crapfest that was NYG vs MIA they will be looking for 2 higher power offensive teams to generate some excitement im sure.

Anything to keep griping.

What makes you think there's any chance of that?
The NFL said specifically that EVERY team will play a game overseas in the upcoming years. There's no chance of it at all.

If there is a London game then that means there will be more than 1 game played out of the USA.

Last year they were saying that China, Germany and Canada would be at the top of the list

Canada did not get a game last year because the Grey Cup was in Toronto and the NFL did not want to go to Toronto the same year(probably a Buffalo game)

They will not go to China this year due to the Olympics

I beleive either Canada or Germany get a game so if London gets one then that's at least 2

On a different note I hope we will go to a 17 game season with the 17th game being at a nuetral site around the world and even in Los Angeles

I dont know. we all know IT IS ALL ABOUT CASH and The fins are the second most favored team in london behind the steelers (According to a London journalist guest speaker on Sirius before the London game this year). If the NFL thinks Miami will be the highest revenued team in London, you can bet they're going t o be on the top of the list of teams that have to go. Now, thats not saying that if we are chosen to go, it will once again be our home game that we have to give up, but because of the Dolphin fan base being so large in London, that isnt too far fetched to happen again in 08 as well.

I heard the Chiefs were 'interested' in playing one of their home games overseas.
