League screwing over Bucs, let's all laugh

#1 Safety is the main issue here not that teams have to play 16 straight weeks. 

#2 Sure they could have moved it to a neutral site and then had the Dolphins with another none home game taking them down to just 6 during the season since they play a so called home game in London as well. That is not fair to them or there fans. 

#3 Many of the players on Miami have family there and to take them away from their families when a category 5 hurricane is coming through is not a good thing. 

 

Sure for the GAME it makes it tough for the players to play 16 games in a row, but for those old members here like myself what did they do before they had bye weeks. They played 16 straight weeks and you didn't here complaining about it.

Why couldn't they just play it in Atlanta or Charlotte those stadiums aren't in use this Sunday and could have avoided them losing their bye

Because preparing for the storm is more important than preparing for a game.

Facts

Game had to be rescheduled. 

Do I ask the OP,  what other option was there where the home team doesn't lose another home game?

I pray that as many people get out, and stay safe.

Gov McMaster just declared a state of emergency for South Carolina. Depending on what part of the Greek you livein, I'd start making plans to evacuate this weekend. 

Also. go Hawks*!

(Hanahan Hawks, not Seattle!)

On the next week of HARD KNOCKS, the Bucs hear the bad news.......

I would say the league screw us over more than anybody. I bet ur there is no other team that has had to play on the road their first game six years in a row, and 8 out of the last 10. Screw u NFL!!!!!

What exactly do you think the players are doing to prepare? They live the life of 1%ers and most don't reside in Florida, they just play there. There's nothing that they would be doing other than packing their belongings and leaving

Have you ever tried to evacuate Florida with an impending storm coming?

Have you ever boarded up a home, hauled a boat, prepped and packed for family, especially young children?

Some of you guys don't understand what this is.

I would think it was funny if it wasn't related to what could end up being a very devastating Hurricane. Praying for the folks in Tampa, Miami and everywhere else in Florida.

Of course they do. They have families there too. The team and it's employees and coaches and trainers do too. They would all appreciate the chance to worry about their homes and families and get prepared instead of preparing for a football game this moment.

There's a lot more to a football team than 53 rich players.

 

Also pretty much every fan of these teams will either be without power and or in an emergency shelter when this game would have been played.
