Yeah, it was the first time we went.
It was my first year back in coaching, 2018.
We weren't a very good team.
We played Seattle.
And I told people, I said, I don't want to go to London until I absolutely have to.
They said, nah, you should go a week before and get acclimated.
I said, I don't need all that shit.
I said, I don't want to go.
we went over there and got our brains beat in.
Now, the next time I went early and I gave ourselves time to get acclimated and we beat the Bears, one of our best performances.
That was a good Bears defense.
We went out and played very well.
But it's a different deal.
The flight home, before you go, there's a lot of arrangements that need to take place.
I don't like it personally.
I don't know any coaches in the league that like it.
But I don't think anybody cares about coaches anymore.
It's all about making money.
And believe me, there's a lot of money to be made by playing these games.
That's why they're doing it.
