I get they're trying to grow the game but this is just getting stupid now. 

Moving some teams overseas or making it flag football. Which comes first?!?

If you have to do an international game, this seems to be the best way. Get it out of the way early, given 2 travel days afterwards. It does suck to open up the season in front of neutral fans but that is the only downside I see.

I’ve been in a stadium full of Brazilians. I don’t think I’d call it neutral, it will be loud for both teams. Hope it’s a fun game.

What’s the weather there at that time? Still super humid? Should be end of “winter” there.

"The average temperatures in the north are around 80-85°F, and the weather is warm and pleasant in cities such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, with the former being slightly warmer. It tends to get colder in the evenings as temperatures drop to approximately 60-65°F, and it is generally dry overall."

It probably will tip off late local as they are two hours ahead of the east coast. Maybe 9:30pm local.

If they want to grow the sport worldwide, it's getting to the point where they need to create a new international league.  Keep the NFL in the US, and have an "IFL", or International Football League that serves all these other countries.  If the don't do this, they are going to degrade the quality of the product in the US.

They've already done that with all the rule changes.

The outrage over this is hilarious. Oh no, these guys have to fly for an extra 4 hours on a private plane. I'll all for more football.

The outrage is taking away the homefield advantage parity we're supposed to have with the rest of the NFC.  And it's way more than 4 hours friend. It's roughly 11 hours of flying opposed to zero, and that's IF you can get a direct flight.

The Schedule makers always shaft the eagles by giving us less rest than our opponents and we hardly ever start or finish the season at home.
