Oh how I'd love the Panthers to come to the U.K.; I think only four teams haven't been now so it's overdue.

That said, I wouldn't like to see you guys lose a home game for the benefit of folk like me. The Panthers aren't very well supported over here, with only 34 of us on the Panthers UK Facebook group. However, that would change after a game at Wembley; lots of newbies go to these games and adopt one of the teams on show.

 

I'm from Birmingham and went to NC for a game this year, that being said if panthers came to London next year it would save me a lot of money!

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?

There's criteria that has to be met for teams to go there, and we haven't met it, which is good, because it's usually like teams that haven't been to the playoffs in the last 2 years and some other random things

I would definitely be down if I can pull it off financially (the flight will be the tough part) and with the time off work.  Would probably go out on Wed or Thur so I could see the sights.  Could stay in a hostel to keep costs down.

When they announce the teams do they also announce dates?

And my prediction is we do go next year and it's our AT Eagles game that's moved to  London. 

I hope it’s not one of our two Pennsylvania games next year. My Dad still lives in State College right smack in the center of the state. We have plans to go to both Philly and Pittsburgh for games. I’m probably in the minority here and I’m okay with that, but I’d rather lose a home game than have to give up going with my old man to a couple games

Not going to lie... I am quite proud of that.

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. 

Well that depends. I know some of the Huddle are rolling in dough but I'm certainly not. Speaking as an Englishman married to a girl from Spartanburg I have made the trip several times. If you go with a major airline on a direct flight-the obvious choice being ATL-LON it likely will cost around that much. I usually fly with Iceland air. Connecting through Boston then Reyjavik it is undoubtably a longer flight. You won't get an in-flight meal or a movie. But you will make significant savings. The other thing is going via Iceland air you have the option to stop over in Iceland for a few days before taking the connecting flight. It is a magical place and well worth the visit for a couple of days. But of course it brings the cost up it not being a cheap place. Definitely a good option though if you're making a one -off trans-Atlantic trip. There's no getting away from the fact that London is expensive. Car hire is relatively cheap so from a value point of view, I would recommend staying outside of London and travelling in if you want to save some deniros. But i understand that many people will want to be in the city (especially for a once in a lifetime visit.)

Don't be spreading fake news. That graphic isn't real

Of all the away teams on the schedule I would least like to play Pittsburgh in London. I've been looking forward to a Pittsburgh road game for what... seven years? Pittsburgh is a great town.

      Let's trade Moton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      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.

      Let's trade Moton

      By scratched · Posted

      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!.
