Via NFL Network, owners will vote Tuesday on a proposal that would increase the minimum number of international games from four to eight. Given that the annual Jaguars home game falls beyond the league’s initiative, that would mean a minimum of nine games every year not on American soil.

 

They should run it all the way to 16, frankly. If the NFL will be sticking with 17 regular-season games, it’s imperative from a competitive-balance standpoint that all teams have eight true home games, eight true road games, and one neutral-site game. Today’s proposal, if successful (and it will be), would get the league more than halfway to the magic number of 16.

 

That’s the best long-term solution for the NFL. Moving a team to England or Germany raises too many issues. Export six games to England, six to Germany, and four elsewhere.

Considering the greedy SOBs won't get rid of the international games, yeah, making the 17th game for each team a neutral site game makes a lot of sense.

 

And then if Jax wants to travel over the pond a 2nd time (and not hang out for an extra week) and they can convince a team that's on their regular home schedule to travel over too then more power to them.  Just don't ever expect the Bills to volunteer to be that patsy again.

Playing outside of the USA is un-American

Still HATE adding yet another international game.  BUT at least the Bills don't play any NFC East teams next year during the RS, so whatevs.  Do the Bungles play on the road vs Filly next year?  If yes, hey, Roger, have we got an idea for you!
