London 2018?

The NFL normally announces the teams that are selected to go to London during December. We’re halfway through and still nothing. 

A report earlier this year said they want to get the remaining six teams that haven’t been over there.

Two questions, do we believe we are going and will the NFL take away a home game from us?

@RoaringRiot or @Jeremy Igo, any insight to this?

Saw somewhere that they pushed this year's announcement to mid January. 

I'm already working on the tailgate spot for this game. It's going to be a banger.

That would be fantastic. I would not go to Philly but I’d definitely do London. 

I would only go to Philly because I lived there for three years and I would just go to the game with my friends up there. I'm not taking a group up there. I'm all set on that....

Panthers at eagles would be a marquee game.  Couldn't see it wasted on London. 

They're two of the five teams (pretty sure it's 5) that haven't gone. But yes, this was my prediction before the season. Could certainly changed based on their 2017 performances. But I'm gonna ride it out ;)

I don't think it's a waste to put any game in London. It's still televised here. One of the four games this year kicked off at 1pm EST, so I don't see why they couldn't put a potential marquee game over there. 

In fact, if they really want the game to be popular in the UK, they need to have meaningful football there, so I'd be supportive of any of our games being played in London. As long as it's not permanently.

Would be a expensive trip. Looking at airfare between $1100 to  $1500 roundtrip. Hotels are around $200 to  $300 a night. If you leave out Friday night arrive Saturday morning and leaving Monday. You are looking at $2000 before even buying a ticket to the game.

      Let's trade Moton

      Players don't take team friendly deals to stay in dumpster fire organizations. At 31 this will be his last shot to get one last payday and possibly his last shot to try to compete for a ring of that's what he wants. He generally fits the description of a guy who would demand a trade more than he fits the description of a guy open to take a team friendly deal with his current team.

      My point was simply, we do not know the extent of his knees.  If they are shot, as Joe Person referenced after the season (referring to the reason he missed week 17) I am not seeing that as an asset or selling low--it is complicated, I know.  But if you consider what we actually know, you are absolutely right.

      I just love getting under everyones feathers. Also, if we aren't going to extend him, and I dont see a reason too, why would we be prolonging the inevitable. If we pick at #8, the chances of this guy being BPA is very high. Nobody can agree on who should be picked at #8, we have made that obvious from the 47000 different posts about what we do with the 8th pick. I am just here to give my opinion, which I think makes sense. We act like Moton can't be replaced. This is different than trading Moore, or McCaffrey, they were young. This guy is coming off a knee injury at 31 years of age. and I'm just suggesting we draft a guy who can come in and start at RT, and could possibly switch with Ekwonu in year 2. Or who knows, the guy can probably play LT this year and we can go ahead and make Ekwonu move to RT. Instead of picking BPA I guess we all are good just picking Walker or Mykel ot Mcmillan, or a Safety at #8?  I'm not... If we can't trade back, which I think is the best option unless somehow Carter, Hunter, or Graham are available, then why would I not consider the most athletic OT in the draft instead of reaching? The people on this board are so divided on who to pick, and the minute someone comes up with a hypothetical, they spill their coffee. I LOVE IT!.
