Random Commanders Thoughts

Looking forward to catching another game over here, and continuing the indoctrination of my kids

I’ve never been to London. Sounds like the perfect excuse to finally go!

Hopefully we play the Bengals…would be a fun high scoring game

I had never been despite having previously visited 12 European countries. I finally made my way there this past August. Great place, been kicking myself ever since.

Been waiting for them to visit the UK for a long time. I couldn’t get tickets for the last game so hoping this time will be different. Really excited for this.

I hope it’s an October game. My wife and I love London and it will provide another ‘excuse’ to visit.

Pretty sure I read somewhere the games will be played in October (now I can't find where I read it).

No to the Bengals. We were in London for the last game when we tied them because of 2 missed Dustin Hopkins FGs.

That's me - I have been to many places around the world but strangely not London. One of my best friends lives there. Still haven't visited there, we have met up in other European nations though.

Last season all of the London games were played in October. The Ireland game was played on September 28th.

Stop ducking the ten quid you owe him and go to London

I'd like to go to London but apparently we are going to Belgium again this year and that is probably going to be in August so no London for me, unless it's during that time, not the game though.

I'd really hate to travel so far for a game in which the team plays like a dumpster fire, which they did in Spain just a few months ago.

Can’t wait to drive on the wrong side of the road, although I’ll probably be drinking too much for that.

I used the Tube exclusively (other than a taxi from Heathrow to our hotel, big mistake on the taxi, learned my lesson). The most dangerous part for us was crossing streets while walking, traffic coming from the opposite direction of what we are used to.

I second this. I still have nightmares about that game. Glad it's at Spurs though, done Wembley twice but the Spurs stadium is supposed to be incredible.

Ok, I failed (but didn't pull out all the stops) to get to madrid. This time, it's a must for me to be there.

Saw Jags/Dolphins at Spurs a few years ago in hospitality seats. The stadium was very nice but the seats were so close together. I’m not exactly a big guy and even I felt a little claustrophobic.

Still, will be there if I can get tickets, at least they sell decent beer at Spurs.

Only one if these things is still true!

Ok, you can still get bad food, but it's sooo much better than it used to be.

I always look Left/Right at least twice. Especially after a few pints.

 

[Command The Best]

Has badly as the NFL always finds ways to ram the American fan you can best bet this game will be us and the Bengals… 2 highly touted QB’s from the same college and both Heisman winners… another way for the paying customer here not to see a elite QB like Burrow here at Northwest. Don’t know about you but all these foreign games can go bye bye imho

Me, too. But not sure of that on one way streets.
