Finally Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I imagine it is a cool experience but at the same time it would be hard on the team. I am glad they are not going this year.Do teams have a say or are they just picked?Who do you like to win that one this year? Niners are allergic to road wins outside their division but this might actually work in their favor. If not, Singletary may be fired on the plane.

ConnFalcon Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I love that we have international fans, but if it ment losing a home game, then no.This team plays way to good at home to give one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it is a big distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnasty Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 The only reason I say yes would be to spread the word of the Falcons to fans across the pond. We have a great team and I want people to know that. I am absolutely sick of hearing about the friggin cowgirls or Favre and the Vikes or some random NFC east team and most importantly I have had my lifetime fill on hearing about the taints. So, I say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring It Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Answer : H.ELL NO !!!!!!!!!The NFL knows no limit to their GREED. As if North America isn't a big enough market for their money grubbing ways, they now insist they shove American football down the throats of Europeans who couldn't care less about us or our national sports.So few Americans spend time away from our borders they are clueless how little Europe wants anything to do with us...............except $$$$ handouts from our corrupt gov't. officials.KEEP the NFL here where it belongs and thrives. For once in the history of America BE SATISFIED and quit the pursuit of pure gluttony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finally Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 i vote no i think its just to far to travel and i pick the Niners to winI pick Denver. The niners are just no good on the road outside their division. Under Singletary I think they have only won one and that was against the Bills in 08.

Fargo75 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Only if was a home game for the other team. I'd rather have them play in Kansas City or Minneapolis so that I can actually see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Atl fan Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Yes, yes and more yes.The Saints and Giants both went on to win the Superbowl either that same year playing over here, or the year after.Something in the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I see no value in it whatsover.I know what the NFL is trying to do, make the NFL the world's game.I don't like it. I kind of like the NFL as being America's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja entendu Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 In the next 3 years, definately yes, after that no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threepac Daddy Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 when the nfl goes to the 18 game schedule. every team will have to play a game overseas, i think the extra away game could be that game and the nfl teams still get that 1 extra home game.

Tandy Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I said no for one reason - it would probably be our 'HOME' game. If it is an 'AWAY' game - I'm okay with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkansas Falcon Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Only if it was an "AWAY" game for us. Other than that I'd say no.I think that the Broncos will win in London on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukfalc Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 at having my own response in the poll - although somoene must be pretending to be me, as somebody voted for that option before I did.Of course I'd love to see the Birds in London, and there is definitely no harm in growing our fan base over here.I disagree with Bring It's comment that nobody over here cares about football. It has a decent, and increasing following, although I can't ever see it challenging the traditional british sports in terms of popularity.I love the Wembley games. With a neutral crowd, they don't have the atmosphere of a game stateside, but the are a special occassion for all british NFL fans: an opportunity get togetehr, to proudly represent the teams they loves and to celebrate our shared passion.I'll be there on sunday with my Falcons jersey and my white Falcons flag from the this year's home opener. I think i'm sitting very close the goal posts at one end, so if you see a falcons flag being held up or waved about during and FG and XP's it will be me!I still don't know who to chear for, as I dislike both teams for obvious reasons...

phattywankenobi Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Maybe if they can space it between a Thurs night game and a Bye so they would have enough time to acclimate and prepare and also if the field conditions are suitable. The biggest thing would be if it counts as an away game since I would normally attend the home games. I know there are a lot of UK Falcons fans so I'm sure they would absolutely love it.

Dem Birds Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I see I am not the only one that went with option 3 even though I am not that person.And what's this "Ryan and the Falcons" This is "Roddy and the Falcons" right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
