It is such a disadvantage for any team to have to travel there during the season and especially not fair for the team that loses the home game.  If they want to expose the fans there to the NFL and their favorite players, why not play pre season games there.

I don't like that we have to play in London, but after a couple years of schedule brutality, it seems we're getting a little break this year. 10 of 17 games not in the other team's house is a good thing.

I'd rather play the Saints in London than NOLA...

I was kinda glad to see the NFL rob them of a truer home game.

The other repercussion of this though is a really early by week:
The announcement means the Vikings will likely have a Week 5 bye in 2022, since the league gives teams the option to take its bye the week before or the week after an international game.

if we’re playing on odd number of games why do we not have 8 home, 8 away and a neutral site?  I thought that was the point of the 17 game season?

not every team has to play abroad,  so they have to set a home /away for all 17 games so this time the aints were the scheduled home team so thats how it plays out.

This is my argument. 
Every team should have 8 home - 8 away - 1 neutral.  Home field advantage is a big advantage and
no team should have 9 home games when other teams only have 8.


There’s no need that neutral means the game has to be played
in outside the country, although this offers a big opportunity to let the NFL
expand into latin America or south America, but the league could also do
neutral site games into parts of the country that don’t get teams regularly or
where those teams don’t come very often (like 2 east coast teams could play in
a west coast market, or AFC teams could play in an NFC market, or any teams
could play in some place like Mississippi/Oregon/Alaska/Hawaii/etc).

This is what I call the Mimosa game.....hitting that sweet, early Sunday brunch vibe spot. I'm in.

Well that sound better than a "Bloody Sunday"

I might have a mint julep instead.  Nothing like watching NFL football sipping a julep
