The Raiders did it right; as soon as the Colts game ended, they got on a plane to go to London and had most if not the entire week to acclimate to the new time zone. Bears flew in late week and seemed tired.
So basically a basic JV football trip where the team you play is 30 miles away, and you have no highways and your mom gives you chips and kool-aid... Then you lose by 30, get home late and gotta go to school the next day lol...
@@andrebowling9864 Oh I absolutely agree. But the teams don't really have a choice and they do an amazing job to move an entire team thousands of miles away.
@@andrebowling9864 yeah they do, those games are sold out and the ticket prices are expensive... you have fans all across the world who are Juventus, Milan, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool supporters etc etc and they not even from the countries where those teams come from. this is how the NFL expands its fanbase by creating open minded fans to their respective sport. NFL is a small sport no where near the levels that of RUGBY, Cricket or Football. its called expansion, imagine a World Cup for American Football.
It’s The NFL these are Professional Athletes Whether your playing the Patriots or the Bengals you always prepare and play the same and tbh the video makes it seem like it’s a lot of work which for you and me yes it would but it’s really not a whole lot more than what these guys normally do for a normal road trip out east anyway
Compared to LA I would believe it. Even then I doubt the guy has looked into the laws. The uk is standing on the rubicon between the fascist eu superstate and the communists in labour. The uk has arrested more people for things they said online than russia by at least four hundred to one.
Im from san francisco, live in new york city, almost moved to LA multiple times before i moved here (been there a bunch of times) , went to London this past summer and i can definitely attest to the fact London is amazing. Its a much better "city" than LA, if you like big cities with lots of culture London is amazing. I would totally live there
Vagabond Wastrel I’m English and what you’ve written is absolute bull shit. What is facist about the EU? What labour communists? No one gets arrested for what they say online. However you should be.
To be fair they could've flown coach day of the game completely jet lagged, without half the equipment, eating plane food and drinking champagne on the flight and they still would've beat the Bengals
@@ElR6. for NFL it's the only country that plays the sport national the rest are rugby and NBA to much money and little viewing time for it to be like the world cup
Loved this video. As a Rams fan got to see how the Rams get ready for a road trip, whether to Atlanta or London. There is a lot of planning involved. And by the way the Rams didn't seem to mind as they won 37-10 in Atlanta and beat Cincinnati 24-10.
two replies and both miss the point. The electricity in the uk runs hotter and can fry equipment easier. Bringing a generator you can take with you.. such as a practice field removes some undesirable outcomes with a preemptive solution. Realistically something previously probably went wrong so they put it on the to bring list.
its standard procedure, having backup solution just incase any problem occurs is protocol. Think like Batman, better to be prepare for every solution, the more command of the situation you are the less likely an issue is to arise.
DZsquid formula 1 moves teams all over the world with much more equipment than the NFL week in week out. They can do it. Its just about whether they want the UK market enough.
@@syco50 Formula 1 drivers don't train physically to the levels of NFL players... UK would need its own league entirely, and the elite of the elite face each other in world championship division after each respectable seasons, 1 game every 2 to 3 weeks.
DZsquid it could work easily if they manage the schedule. East coast teams play in London and west coast can play Monday or after a bye. There’s only like 4 teams on the west coast anyway so the super long flight time isn’t the norm.
I think there over doing it. It's like there fragile unchanged things. But it gives the guys a job so they obviously will sat u need to do this/that to help the players.
Twice, but not since 2012 against the Rams. The other was 2009 against the Bucs. Both were blowout victories. They also did the Mexico City game in 2017. The only NFL team that will never have played a London game after Houston plays its first tomorrow is the Packers.
Kraft says that he wants the Patriots to be the first team to play an international game in Germany in a couple of years (if the commissioner allows it)
I used to work for the Ravens flagship station. I had nothing to do with sports but, without going into too much detail, broadcasters have similar logistical considerations.
it kinda is once its out of the EU, seriously what does England make that the whole world uses. I looked all over my house for any appliances or clothing that said made in England or UK, I looked on my computer for any British programs or apps couldn't find any, I found a pint of Guinness on my fridge and I thought "surely this is form England" oh no turns out Ireland. What do the English do or make that is beneficial to the world seriously
One game across the pond with a bye week after won’t be that hard to manage. The only concern would probably come when it’s playoff time. London team definitely has to do 4 away games straight and need a temporary US facility.
Wouldn't it be smarter if the NFL just stored basic supplies like IT and medical for all teams in London all year round? Every team only has a single game in London, but that way it can be used by all teams that play in London. Just ask the teams what they need (it will probably not differ that much) and then split the (much lower) bill.
this whole american football project that are trying here in europe is doomed to fail nobody cares about the sport here soccer is a religion here. I think they should try expanding in the north american market
@@mlewis6892 it's a novelty and it has always been a novelty.Here is what most americans fail to understand soccer is a religion here and all the big leagues here that make the most money are soccer leagues there are no big basketball leagues no big american football leagues etc whereas in america you have the nfl,nba,nhl,mlb that make alot of money so simply put people do not care about the nfl and never will all they care about is the champions league the epl,la liga,ligue 1,serie a,bundesliga
I love how the guy talking about turkey and cheese sandwiches is acting like the ENGLISH hotel employees, are misunderstanding the ENGLISH language. Also I know Americans have their “American English” so there is a slight language and culture difference but as the twitter account @Queen_UK said on the 03/11/2015 “there is no such thing as American English, there is English and there are mistakes.”
@@MisterOwlz given that it appears you don’t live here then you wouldn’t know. Brexit has fucked us but the quality of “produce” is very good. Please tell me you’re not from the US with all your artificial crap?!
@@MisterOwlz What's that based on exactly? The food quality is better than the US in alot of cases with more stringent regulations regarding additives, preservatives etc. Just because something might taste different in the UK, doesn't make it sub par. Ofc, there are always gonna be some things that are more easily sourced fresh on the other side of the world like Avocados, and vice versa. But both the US and UK are wealthy developed nations with plenty of good food to go around.
@@matthowells6382 They're not grown there so it probably wouldn't taste as good which is what the team gets which is what he's saying, and you don't have the amount the team would probably need to feed everyone there. If it's anything like that chicken that was being cooked on that grill it doesn't look to good! lol
The nutrition guys really annoyed me saying that us brits don’t know what to cook and can’t get produce etc. They were staying at pennyhill park, a hotel and spa which is catered for hosting and training sports teams being it’s where the England rugby team stay and train for home games. Plus they have a mitchelin star restaurant in the hotel, so to say that they don’t know to make a sandwich or that the produce isn’t up to standard is disrespectful.
Antdog 678 you can buy medical equipment in the UK. Only the team specific items like helmets, jerseys, or specific practice equipment would need to be sent.
@@heremyjunt Tea fiend. Americans use different medicines. And players use medicines that are American products. Why force players to use foreign medicines they aren’t used to?
