Expected, considering the Glazer's ownership of Manchester United.

I'm gonna try and go.. Perfect excuse to finally visit the U.K., see the Pats and then go drop by and see Ireland in one massive long weekend.

What a shock that the league would give the Patriots a road game at a neutral site.

/conspiracy theory

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

London does have the most CCTV cameras per capita in the world, so you know... jokes!

The Patriots are returning to England? John Hancock and Samuel Adams must be rolling over in their graves.

Seriously though, I wonder if the Pats will bring those silly men cheerleaders posing as militia from the Revolutionary War.

When I saw the title of this thread I figured there was roughly a 1 in 1092340 chance the Pats would lose the home game.

Shouldn't you have known thanks to the predictable schedule that there was a 0 chance it would be the Pats?I'm not trying to give the league a pass on this because I find their choices for these games to be odd (Giants "road" game just a couple seasons after giving the Giants an "away" game in their own stadium against the Saints?), but if they had to have Bucs-Pats, it did have to be this way.

As opposed to NY in which case the league would have given them a ninth home game to boot.

That will be of great comfort to the teams that lose the first few of these games if the league actually does keep this up 32 years and finally takes a game from the Giants or Pats.

Man U fans just love the Glazers, I'm certain that they'll readily cheer on the Bucs and won't instead hurl invectives at the Glazers' other team.

Assuming the NFL stays with the same rotation (and stays at 32 teams), it will be 20 years between Patriot regular season visits to Tampa Bay to face the Bucs (their last trip came in '97 before the present rotating schedule was implemented).

I'm sure Bucs fans won't mind waiting until 2017 to see Tom Brady in action.
