I never liked the idea of having regular season games in London. Why can't they just do it in preseason like when Paul Tagliabue was the commissioner?

Part of the family considerations equation is geography. It's difficult for family members to be away from the United States for long periods of time.  Even more so than for players,  coaches,  and trainers.  All of which have long days of preparation during most of the week.   

The reason for regular season games in London is it's a much greater money making opportunity for the NFL. Being that the NFL has 4 games this season in London,  compared to 3 in recent seasons,  it's evident that the NFL likes the numbers that these games are producing.
