Looks like we will play the Chiefs in London in 2015
 
home or away game? I have no idea why these teams agree to play a home game over seas unless they are getting a boat load of money to do it.

In 2011, KC was at Detroit...so it would have to be an away game for Det.
 
Just a guess, but since this year was an "Away" game, 2015 would be a "Home" game. Seems like that would be a fair way to balance the impact of going overseas. Still, best solution would be to stop this nonsense of playing overseas.
 
It will be in week 8 and its an away game for us. Not sure on start time.
 
Away game. Not playing in Arrowhead is pretty big.

Week 9 bye again too then.
 
Its pretty crap that a team has to go to London 2 years in a row. At least we aren't losing a home game though. Maybe they'll remember to use the longer spikes right away this time so they don't screw the first half up again.

At least this gives the Lions to vie for the title of "The United Kingdom's Team..."...at least of American football, eh, mate?

Yeah, until the Lions are relocated there. Then EVERY home game will be at 9:00AM EST!!!!!

I thought I read or heard that they took a poll in London and the Lions were the LEAST liked team in the NFL to fans over there.

Well, maybe that's why the NFL keeps sending them...to raise the Lions' "British likeability quotient..."
 
Dallas game in London is a normal noon game, I don't get why the Detroit game was so early
 
I know this is two years in a row we'd have played Arizona at their place. So it's not always 1 game at home, 1 away, 1 home etc.
 
This is a good thing. Playing a road game vs KC in London. Beautiful. We don't have to worry about Arrowhead Stadium. Advantage - Detroit.

Carry on.
 
When asked why they wanted to see the lions again in London head officials pointed at pot sales skyrocketing being up over 400% that week. Nice job Caldwell.
 
thank you Atlanta and NO! Caldwell tried to run the clock out on himself lmao...what an idiot....

Wow....it really really burns you up inside seeing this team succeed. lol. That's fucking pathetic, man. You can't wait for this team to fail so you stand on your soapbox. Tell me i'm wrong.
