At least it's an away game

Players want their contracts to keep increasing and this what they gotta do. 5 or 6 days away from home isnt going to hurt them. The new early start times helps the teams too as they can travel home much quicker. Could fly home Sunday evening (British time and arrive back in New Orleans late Sunday evening/early monday morning over there

Eggs bacon pancakes and saints. what a great way to start a Sunday morning.

9am start is trap bait for sure. flashbacks to peewee days may have a huge effect

This is not new news.

Btw did we not request not to have a bye week 5 to Katz? The colts asked not to have one last year and Miami has asked not to have one as well.

Re: Saints to Play Dolphins in London
 

And last time Miami played in London..........well. It's a neutral field and they're not gonna have no extra advantage.

The reason they have to play early according to friends of mine that live there is due to public transportation that shuts down around 9:00. Majority of the folks across the pond rely on trains not cars like us.

Rubbish
The underground runs till the early hours and most trains here around London run on reduced Sunday service till 11pm.

The major northern links do stop early for some lines.

The West End is only a few miles away from Wembley and the theatres dont finish till after 10pm.

Well, I think you answered some of it with your response. 100,000 people with reduced transportation service after drinking all day. My friends may not have been 100% correct but they did make a valid point. By the way we will be coming over for the game, maybe we can have a beer.

If im off work ill happily meet up with anyone. Not sure if i am yet.

This is the last year of early games anyway from what ive read. US TV not happy with the times and the NFL apparently loosing millions from each game
