What the?  Is this the first sign of the appocalypse?  After all these years of trying to get NFL Europe to work you'd think that someone would have figured out that Europeans don't really care that much for American football.  All this is is a bad publicity stunt that will leave Roger Goodell with a bad taste in his mouth.

If it were an exhibition, then I'd say, "Hey, great!  Just like the time they played in Mexico City and Japan!"  However, this is the regular season, and it's not at all fair to the players to have to go across the pond to play when they have such a busy, hectic schedule as it is.

Thankfully, my Giants are looking pretty good in the last few games and should put on a show, but the Dolphins?  C'mon, that's no way to promote football.  Pick a couple teams that might interest a few people over there.  I would actually rather see the Superbowl played in England than a regular season game.  At least there's a 2 week period for the players to adjust and would make for a much better game than we're going to see this afternoon.

Call me cynical, but this is just a really dumb idea...

I wouldn't say that.  The game sold out in 40 minutes ... 90,000+ people

And as far as the flight goes, I don't think it's all that much different then flying from the east coast to the west coast.  Where it is unfair is one team loses a home game.  That is HUGE.

I must say it is a bit odd though.

I thought it strange and didn't like it.

this is regular season play.  There should be a home team playing in front of their home town fans.

I have no problem with exposing Europeans to American football, but why not exhibition games? or even an all pro game.

The only time American football players can be treated like celebs or gods. Why not make it into a world event?

Hello, NFL Europe done failed!!!! Why still push it?

Do you think the season ticket holders got a refund for only having 9 games this season?   Most cities have stadium bond elections.    By moving the games to other areas, the biggest effect is on the local economy, which in most cases, the business owners whos taxes are raised, along with taxpayers, are promised that the games will increase revenue, so how can a city benefit when you lost the potential revenue for a game.

I don't see how its fair to the season ticket holders who paid for that game.

Also, most dollars that Owners garner from the NFL are American dollars, I don't think its fair to Americans to take games from us.

The Giants made the playoffs because they got the Extra game at home due to New Orleans Dome being repaired. Giants was 6-2, and 2-6 to finish the season at 8-8 and a playoff spot due to 9 home games.

I would also agree if Europe really wanted our football, NFL Europe wouldn't have gotten canned.
