Bucs Game Moving Due to Irma
163 replies
Galantforum_veteranOP"A person familiar with the discussions says the NFL is considering moving the Miami Dolphins' season opener against Tampa Bay to another site or earlier this week because of Hurricane Irma.
The person confirmed the discussions to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the league and teams aren't talking publicly about the options.
Switching the game to Thursday or Friday is being considered, the person said, because Irma could threaten South Florida over the weekend. The game is scheduled for 1 p.m. EDT Sunday in Miami.
Playing the game at another site Sunday is also being discussed, the person said.
The teams share the same bye week in November, but would prefer to avoid moving the game to that weekend.
During a Monday media session, Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said he's preparing his team to play and will leave the decisions to other team officials.
"It's out of our hands, they'll tell us when to play and we'll show up.""

KeyFinforum_veteranThey should play Wednesday so they're the season opener...screw those Pats.
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

Dolphins1Beatlesforum_veteranAlready lost one home game to London for the Super Bowl. Playing the game in Tampa would be awful. Orlando a little better.
But it would be best to play it Friday night in Miami and nationally televise it. Friday Night Football!

Vertical Limitforum_veteranMan i asked for this friday off two months ago just to have a 3 day work week. If they move the game to friday o man! And i wont miss the other games on sunday? So much win. Lets go irma!
National Hurricane Center saying 20% chance of tropical storm-force wind speeds (>39 mph on a per-minute average) by Saturday (and should be worse Sunday). They better play this game early and give us some extra rest for game 2. As Dolphins1Beatles said we already lost a home game. And it would really suck if we can't pass the ball because of some stupid storm (just imagine our run defense)!
Dolphins1Beatlesforum_veteranWell aside from Orlando on Sunday, another of the rumored options would be moving it to the Bye week since they both have it at the same time. That would be terrible also to not have that week of rest with the playoff chase happening. AND Miami plays at New England the week after the bye. We need all the help we can get in NE. I don't think the Dolphins & Bucs would agree to that though?
Friday Night makes the most sense and put it nationally on CBS/NFL Network.
Bucs Coach on NFL: "They've just told us that they've started their preparations and they're working on multiple contingency plans, too numerous to mention. Again, it's premature. It is a possibility and they're working on it."
Apparently they have to decide by tomorrow night.

Deus ex dolphinforum_veteranFriday works for me.
A terrible play call, terribly executed.

DolPhinPhan7forum_veteranI remember a Friday night game against the Chefs years back because of a Hurricane. They lost.
I hope they move it to earlier this week and don't move the game to Jacksonville or something. The Phins already lose a home date getting sent to London again.
SamphinNew MemberAt this point, they have to move the game to a different venue, or a different week. People need to be focused on preparing/evacuating. Not football.

If you're not prepared by Thursday, you're probably screwed.

What do your tweets read, Galant?
SamphinNew MemberSo we open the season with a bye week, most likely.
Gonna be a LONG 16 games, boys and girls.
Also...fantasy teams about to be SCREWED.
DolPhinPhan7forum_veteranWhy would a Bye Week be more preferable to a Thursday game? The team has had plenty of time to prepare for Tampa.
