No Game in London for the Packers in 2015
The NFL released its International Series schedule for the 2015 season on Thursday, and it didn't include the Green Bay Packers.
While the Packers won't play at London's Wembley Stadium next season, a division rival will.
The Detroit Lions will play a defacto road game against the Kansas City Chiefs Week 8 on Nov. 1.
The other games include the Miami Dolphins hosting the New York Jets Week 4 on Oct. 4 and the Jacksonville Jaguars hosting the Buffalo Bills Week 7 on Oct. 25.
If there was ever a game the Packers would play in London it might be in 2016 when they're scheduled to play the Jaguars on the road.
The Packers have maintained they wouldn't want to give up a home game to play in London but would be okay with playing a road game.

Thank god. I know it'll happen sooner than later, but I really hate these London games and dread the Packers playing in one.

yeah, i'm not a huge fan of it either.
The part i still don't like is that teams have to give up home games for it. Why do they have to give up home games? why can't they be both considered away games and just flip a coin to see who the home team is?
I understand teams like the Jaguars and others who don't sell out home games makes it better for the team. But to me it still isn't fair to the teams themselves. Players have to play 9 road games and only 7 home games.
I would be really pissed if they tried to make Green Bay use a home game to play there.

London can keep their football, it sucks. Keep the NFL in the states where it belongs. I tried to watch soccer but my head almost exploded from the boredom.

There is one Packer fan who is born and raised English in all of the UK. he owns a Favre clock. Other than that, packer means a fornicator to other Brits.
