Thanks, I think I will be ok. I purchased a London Pass w/travel card, got tickets to the London eye, and I know where the team is greeting fans on Saturday.

My parents are going and taking a few extra days to see the city. I, however, will be listening on the radio.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

London is a home game, right? I hope we score more than 11 points at our "home" game....

I really hope Gus takes his D to the woodshed and lights a fire under them. We all know the issues on Offense, but the D has been a nice spot for us, need them to show up in London, please.
And, that $115 will save Jacksonville from financial ruin. - Mayor John Peyton

If the Jags score a TD in London, does it count as a TD at home?

I hope so, so this irritating "no TDs at home" meme will stop.

Another way to stop it would be for the Jags to, you know, score a touchdown at Everbank :D

Everbank Field is the Jags home, regardless of London being deemed a home game. So no and I expect Henne to put up garbage yardage after the game is well out of reach and score some late TDs. San Fran 48 -17. Still excited to be going though.

Dallas is officially our opponent next year for our home game in London.

Shaka Kahn sure likes giving away the most attractive games to London.

I'm from Jax, but I've lived in London for the past 10 years. Very much looking forward to the game on Sunday, even though the outcome is pretty much a foregone conclusion. If anyone has any questions or needs any pointers about London, feel free to message me.

Couple things here.  First, let's be clear, this isn't Khan's show.  This is the NFL's, and they'll take the game they want.  Second, I think they'll want to keep the inter-conference games for the Jags, so next year it was either the cowboys, or the Giants.  Both big losses for home games in Jax.

If you think that losing the Cowboy game stinks, wait till we lose the Packers game in 2016.  The way I see it, we will lose Carolina or Atlanta 2015, which isn't that bad.

Course, that could change if we suddenly got good and they wanted to showcase a big game or team.  I could see them taking one of the Indy games 2015 to showcase Luck. 
So I said to him: Arthur, Artie come on, why does the salesman have to die? Change the title; The life of a salesman. That's what people want to see.

What's the general vibe/buzz in London about hosting the Jaguars for four seasons?

UK Daily Mail has had some pretty good coverage of Sunday's game.

Much more complimentary of the Jaguars than what we typically see in the US:
