I thought about doing one of my usual half-assed breakdowns for this game but the Jags don’t matter (okay, here’s one thing I learned-they’re the only team that doesn’t have a running TD after six weeks) and it would most likely result in a breakdown on my part. I checked Weather Underground, a site that provides weather updates for games all ’round your fair nation. London forecast? N/A. Someone, or a series of someones at the site wasn’t able to go to one of the major weather sites and punch in “London, United Kingdom”. I’m SMGDH over here. By the by, it’ll be overcast for the game. It’s not often that one gets to “pre-game” during an actual game, whether it takes the form of cooking yourself some eggs, going to the gym/church or waiting for the beer store to open so have at it. Me? I’ve got my polar bear jammy bottoms on, gonna fold me some laundry, hit the treadmill and make the gang some breakfast once they drag their pathetic carcasses out of bed. What are you up to?
It’s like EJ Manuel isn’t very good or something.
The Jags are going to refuse to board a plane to leave London if this keeps up…
Rex Ryan may seek asylum at this rate.
You have feet in London, right?
Wow. I have no words.
So when the Jags move…they are changing the name right? Any suggestions?
I like the London Fancy Lads!
I would say “London Knights”, but I don’t want to waste such a cool name on such a bad team.
The OHL London Knights might have an issue with that.
(One Year From Now)
Redshirt: “I don’t want to vote for Hillary or Trump! Could you take America back?”
Mother England: “No. You subjected us to crappy NFL games. You deserve whatever Hell you get.”
Team Hilly-bob!! Resistance is futile!!
I’m slowly coming to that realization.
Jaguars defensive TD? That’s unpossible?
Jags playing hard for the hometown fans!
You’re gonna like it in my cittttyyyyy
/warm tea with milk and boiled meat WOO
Oh, Bills. Bills, Bills, Bills.
We’ve swapped the Bills with the Jaguars. Let’s see if anyone notices!
Yahoo froze on Khan’s “O face” tonight’s nightmare fuel is set.
Bills vs. Jaguars? Normally I stream something else that sucks.
(rimshot)
Bro Hymn? Celebrating a goal in football? Sure!
I tried to make it to teh half, but…
/vicuprofen bottle flies open
Khan was LITERALLY twirling his mustache.
This game would be so much better with actual werewolves in it
Holy shit I just read one of the most silliest things ever by the NFL. Per the BBC article about the Jags possible move to London…
“But becoming the NFL’s “international team” has increased revenues (the London game is worth 15% of their annual ticket income) and boosted the team’s profile.”
There are only fucking 8 home games. So your average ticket revenue for games, assuming they are all equal is 12.5%. That isn’t that big of an increase for a struggling team.
And if the NFL believes that Brits support struggling teams, they need to check out the fucking attendance for the Premier League.
If they hit 12.7%, financing has already begun the parade. Bean counters are strange, strange people.
Following comments via blackberry (I’m old and crotchety, shut up) and closing my DFO laptop window helped quality appreciably.
Stupid Yahoo!
They managed to lose $42M with their Yahoo Screen programming, despite clearly devoting zero resources to tech support, so we shouldn’t be surprised.
I’m assuming they survive by laundering drug money.
Maybe the reason Mexico doesn’t get a game is becoming clearer…
You know, drug use in Mexico is pretty low…
Its not even the end of the 1st quarter…and I am already feeling like apologizing to the British for this game…the Revolutionary War…War of 1812…and asking if they would take us back…
If she’s receiving, I’m all for it.

The Alta-Vista feed is way better you guys,
Jags Jag. Rinse. Repeat.
Hail Bleerg
How the fuck can the feed be this shitty?
Seriously…there are what…six of us commenting here. There could only possibly be maybe ten more people world wide who are equally this bad with controlling their gambling addiction that they are subjecting themselves to this shitfuckfest.
Because Yahoo. This shouldn’t wouldn’t happen on AskJeeves.
I was just thinking that Yahoo loves to toss money down the drain. This cannot be good for them.
Yahoo is one of those companies like Twitter…that for the life of me, I cannot figure out how they are even “suppose” to make money. Like Eron was a shitty company, but I could at least see what their business model was suppose to be…but what the fuck is Yahoo’s?
I honestly think they believe the ad-based revenue stream is the way to make money on the Internet.
I think “the world” must have logged off because my resolution just got a metric fuckton better
Now Bills fans get to wonder why the gameplan isn’t “Handoff to McCoy the first 2 downs and then throw it to him on the third.” I remember those days.
My FF team is wondering the same thing.
It’s like they’re using British players who have no familiarity with the sport whatsoever.
Aphex Twin with the field goal attempt…and its GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!
WTF?!? Jet Lag???
Bills almost Jaguar’d that play
Another dogshit Jags game for London. Only a matter of time before they start dumping pink hats into the London harbour.
Blake throws like an English soccer player…
For the English fans, they should have replace the penalty flags with the scraps of paper from soccer.
And for more shits and giggles, hold over the two fouls=ejection rule. See if the Bills could get to the fucking second half and still field 11 men on a side.
Are there actual commercials for this game? All I see is a slate that says NFL on Yahoo Buffalo @ Jacksonville (London)
So…this is pretty clearly just a CBS broadcast with the logos removed, huh?
Yuuuuuuup
You considering that both countries dominated world affairs for the past 300 or so years, the national anthems for the UK and USA are somewhat lame.
I like that Russia went back to their old Rocky IV anthem.
At least ours uses music to a drinking song.
I nominate Arcade Fire’s “Intervention” as a proper substitute.
Pip pip cheerio and all that shit!
The goddamn sun isn’t even up yet.
Where’s the coffee?
Someone please fucking explain to me WHY this is happening in London and NOT Mexico City.
Fucking move the Jags to Mexico City, rename the mascot “Tezcatlipoca” and just bask in the fucking awesomeness of crazy Mexico fans.
No long ass trans-Atlantic flight. No fucking weird ass start times. Games are played in the 14th largest economy on the globe (better than playing in Detroit). Its a no fucking brainer.
Less kidnap-y?
I think Mexico is regarded as a broken country-corruption and drug money are everywhere. If you haven’t, read Murder City.
That’s border country…and let’s be honest…most of the problems involving violence, kidnapping, etc. are directly related to the MASSIVE amount of illegal drugs the US imports and the illegal guns US exports.
My ex-wife went on a business trip to Mexico City, and said it was the most terrifying and heartbreaking place she has ever been. Never allowed to leave hotel without security.
And she had backpacked throughout Europe and slept in tents in South Africa.
I’ve worked in India, Pakistan, China, Japan, Russia, Poland, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and the US. Most in shipping ports, steel mills, and port facilities doing motor installation, drive commissioning, and automation.
By far…the single worst, most dangerous place I have ever worked has been inside the US. Its a toss up between Detroit and Ecorse Michigan, Gary Indiana, and Memphis Tenn.
I don’t think most Americans realize how fucking out of control the poverty in the US can be and how out of wack some communities are.
The strangest place she ever went, easily, was Jackson, Mississippi. Most of her travels were related to clinical research sites. So usually not “industrial” cities in the US, only real shitty underbelly of America she got to see was in Philly.
Yeah, I could see that. If she was blonde and didn’t speak Spanish, I wouldn’t have let her out unescorted. If, however, she spoke the language, had dark hair, and covered up, I could see her enjoying herself.
The trick is to look like you have no money.
Mexico City has significant corruption problems and I certainly agree that some of the country’s issues are due to being next to the U.S. The infrastructure of the nation is in rough shape.
The real problem is that the NFL can’t get that many season ticket buyers in Mexico. Those that have that kind of money don’t like to flash it around. Normal NFL ticket prices are not sustainable in Mexico.
I think it could.
I think it would make more sense to try in Mexico, which has a good number of local NFL fans that already exist there, then to keep doing this stupid shit of trying to introduce NFL to Europe.
I agree. On fan do alone, the Azteca would sell out every weekend. The NFL owners are greedy fuckers, though. They think 20,000 $100 tickets is better than 100,000 $10 tickets.
I’m always disappoint when “and her fascist regime” isn’t the 2nd line
I do like how we are performing our national anthem when it’s based on an event in which we were at war with the country it is being performed in.
I prefer Eddie Izzard’s version better.
Wow, this Brit is doing a much better job on our (seditious to her) anthem then any of our natives have this season. Jeebus.
BOOOO!!! I wanted British announcers…like this…

TOTALLY AGREED, would make things much more interesting.

Oy…wot’s dis?!? A googally has broken out in da scrum!
I can’t believe Yahoo has a pre-game show of sorts, but they does.
Actually, it’s a stand-alone link. Here it be, works fine on Chrome. Had to refresh once:
https://nflstream.yahoo.com/
Trying it out on my ipad, actually looks pretty good.
Dear god we all need to get help don’t we?!?
Umm, this site *is* the help. Godspeed, buddy.
Time to remember if Yahoo Screen worked on IE or Chrome! Community Season 6, it was a long time ago in my pill-addled old man brain…
I’m getting on a train to head down to San Diego to see the Raiders-Chargers game live and in person. I am curious – is there really anybody who cares about this London tilt other than for fantasy football purposes?
MANDATORY 14-hour day….
Works on firefox.
Good quality as long as I’m not trying to do any other shit. Like type.
This is not where I put this.
Who moved my reply????
Come, watch a mercurial Bills team without its starting QB and best WRs play an moribund Jags team in Year 5 of a 12-year rebuilding agenda.
The only reason I’m conscious at all is my time zones are still all fucked up. I’m still on Tennessee time and my niece is getting married today.
Did I tell you we broke the record for the largest bar tab of all time at the hotel I’m staying at?
I’m going to hit the fitness center, grab the healthiest breakfast I can find after last night’s barbecue meat massacre and stay reasonably sober until 4 today.
After the wedding all bets are off.
That’s good bar tabbin’

My company is sending this game to Sweden and Denmark. I’m eyeing the “disconnect” button on those feeds to spare them this shitshow.
