I actually think this deserves its own thread.
Raiders in talks to play all their home games in London.
Raiders in talks to play all their home games in London.
Glazer reported last week that other owners were the ones that brought up the idea of the Raiders playing overseas, making it easy to believe the league, which has long been obsessed with putting a team in London, believes this could be a test balloon for that idea.
But there seem to be so many more questions over how it would work than answers at this point.
Let’s say the league is able to split the Raiders’ schedule into quarters, with four straight home games, four straight road games, and then repeat. They’ll still only get one bye.
What happens if the fourth home game leads to a road game in Los Angeles against the Chargers? What happens if a fourth road game is in Denver and the Raiders play seven days later in London?
Are we totally abandoning the notion of players getting proper rest and recovery between games?
