The NFL has postponed the Bucs-Dolphins game until Week 11 due to Hurricane Irma.
The teams share(d) a Week 11 bye week and will play the game then. The players now have to play 16-straight games with no off week, which is a big concern for player safety, but Roger Goodell apparently wasn't comfortable moving the game to a neutral site like Pittsburgh of Philadelphia. Fantasy owners need to get their Bucs and Dolphins out of lineups. Tampa will open at home against Chicago next week, with the Dolphins traveling to face the Chargers. Sep 6 - 9:14 AM

16 straight weeks for them, and their fans have to wait even longer for their first game. Hahahaha

The Bucs and Dolphins are both getting screwed and it increases the injury risk to players.  I think it's a horrible decision by the NFL and puts both teams at a disadvantage.  This is almost like a punishment for a potentially devastating hurricane hitting FL.

Do all teams that play in the first week share a bye week? Or did they just get lucky on that? 

Edit: just looked up the niners and their bye is the same as ours. Interesting

All teams play week one, so no just luck. Bye weeks are 5 through 11.

What's your solution to the predicament?

Safety is an issue but at the same time does the NFL screw over one team or both. If it would've been moved to a neutral sight that removes any home field opening day advantage the dolphins would've had, not to mention they are already losing one home game by playing in London. That scenario would've had them losing 2 home games giving the advantage to the Bucs.

With this decisions both teams get equally screwed but the playing field is even. This was a Lose-Lose situation and looks like the NFL picked the option that would mess with both teams and not just one.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
