NFL Regular Season Games Overseas: Good or Bad Idea?

NFL owners approve games abroad during regular season - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

I can honestly say I think this is a very bad idea. Not only would teams lose out on a home game in terms of having a fair and balanced schedule, but the fans of the teams will also lose a chance to see their team at home. I wouldn't be suprised if the Skins get sent to Europe for a game because of the whole East Coast thing, and that would piss me off (even if it counts as an away game).
It's bad enough when a team has to fly across the country for a game but now they're thinking of making them fly all the way to Germany?!?! That's crazy. The loser of the game would have a built in reason to bitch.

This whole idea seems to be about making money at the expense of the actual game. So the NFL isn't all that popular overseas, is it not making enough money here in the US? Keep having preseason games all over the world, but don't F with the regular season. That's just my opinion, what do you guys think?
