Yuk.

At least the Bye week is in the middle of the schedule and the game isn't in November. I'm considering the road trip...

The unis, the lighting bolts and the pass happy offense led by Rivers will give a great show to the Brits. Nothing left but to enjoy seeing the Chargers at the sacred turf of Wembley.By the end of the game there will be new Chargers fans in England.

Hate the whole thing. No one cares about the NFL in the UK. It is all a waste of time. At least Acee can make some jokes about the home field for our team.

Hate they are going to London. Nobody in the US cares about London and im not getting up at 5am to watch the second half. Just one reason why the NFL is losing ratings. FU Goodell!

NFL Games in London are attracting big crowds.Total attendance for LAC was 202,000 (For the year). And Im not trying to argue or defend. Just Showing the facts. In one game they will have one third of the total attendance.

So! That was Spanos choice. It was said they would make money if NOBODY attended the games. For me i dont give a rats ass how many people go to the games there. I hope the ratings keep dropping here.

Just have to get used to the idea of playing internationally for 2018 and 2019. The games start at 6.30 am Pacific, and they will have more in Wembley than 3 games in Stub Hub. I do think that they looked at the home schedule and thought that the Titans might have been the smallest draw, and they haven't yet played in London as well. For 2019, the Chargers are projected to have the Packers and Vikings... I think the Packers will be picked next season, as they haven't been to London as well..

[vinabolt]

Hopefully our London game will mean that we've avoid the Hard Knocks plague. (?)

[Bolt-O]

You're forgetting that the Chargers are being run like a TV show... at least on the business side.

If im the owner id say no everytime too. Why have a west coast team go to London? Why not Mexico if they have to do that shit? I don't see being picked as a positive.

[Bolt-O]

To me, it's not a positive, but a consequence of the move. Teams that are relocating to a new stadium are required to give up one "home" game.
