Bucs/Dolphins

[Mike A. S.]

Any word on what's happening with changing this game? I've heard most likely it's being moved to their week 11 bye week. But that's not really fair to the teams to play 16 straight weeks. Isn't it better to simply move the game up to Friday or something?

I can't imagine they move it to the bye week but anything is possible. 16 straight games though? Yuck

I've heard there is a chance this game gets moved up to THURS or FRI...that makes more sense than playing it on their bye week...Unless there were no other options, I don't think they would cancel this week and and play 16 straight weeks.

That really sucks for the teams.

Losing a week-11 bye week is brutal.

Awful. As I said on another thread there are 3 teams close enough with stadiums to use. The Falcons, Saints, and Panthers are all away from home.

Both the Bucs and Dolphins wanted to play week 1 on a neutral site. They made this abundantly clear to the NFL.

The NFL made the decision to move it to week 11.

Just a terrible decision. They took the easy way out. What would they have done if both teams did not share a bye week? Find a way to make it work this week? Correct

League saying it's for safety and for players to be with their families.. Since when does the league care about safety?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

This decision was fucking mental

And I am not saying that from a standpoint of it completely screwing my fantasy team

No bye week now?

We've got morons making key decisions

If there was a darling franchise involved, you know this game would be played as scheduled in a diff venue.

 

[WayfaringStranger]

Anyone know when Yahoo is going to update their pickem leagues? It's still showing the TB/MIA game as part of week 1 picks.

What are the chances that these two teams have the same bye week?

Buccaneers vs. Dolphins moved to Week 11 because of Irma

 

[tducey]

16 straight weeks of football will be bad for both teams especially as both look to be playoff contenders this year. They could have played the game before Sunday IMO.

....ummm....wuh? I agree with the Bucs, but the Dolphins are playoff contenders? With Jay Cutler as QB?!?! Whatchu smokin' dude because I need some of it haha.

Ya think so? 32 NFL teams, 7 weeks with by teams. Doesn't seem pretty high to me. Some weeks only have 2 bye teams, some have 6.

Well "high odds" is relative. It's obviously less than 50%, but higher than 10%.
