I call BS on that call to postpone it.
There's so many ways they could have gotten around it; play the game tomorrow or friday, move the game to a neutral site for a monday night tripleheader, move the game to New Orleans, Pittsburgh, or Philly.
So now, both the Dolphins and Bucs lose their bye week, even more so for Miami since they have to also travel to London this season.
**** this league quite honestly.
Thank you for the voice of reason.If they move to a neutral site, Miami would only have 6 home games this year, screw that.
It's pretty likely the team employees have to evacuate their families. They need to postpone so they can make sure their families are safe.
Why should they have to deal with this if people with 'regular jobs' don't?
they done gone and pissed off the wrong dude.
So play the game while hurricane Irma is in the process of hitting their community, family/friends and houses? Do you think you'd want to play or work a thousand miles away while a major hurricane devistates your city? Players health could be at risk if they had to play this weekend with their minds elsewhere. There is no perfect solution but you can't control mother nature or expect the players to act like emotionless robots.
If you actually care about the players health you should ask the NFL to get rid of the stupid Thursday night games.
Rivers has 8 kids?!?
Why would anyone do that? Regardless of means.
How is that any different than what the Houston Texan players are going through? Theyre still playing this weekend. The players are still going to have a lot on their minds in Week 2.

Sure seems like Myles Garrett could miss weeks with an ankle injury...

I'm looking forward to the day that the Pats don't have an absolute cakewalk in the AFC East
Not sure it will ever come
man Eli Manning is old now. Here's a classic.
I only see one way: Garoppolo leaves for another team (Will the Pats really franchise him for 2018 if Brady is still intent on playing and he is still a high end starter?) and then Brady retires 1-2 years afterwards. And then Belichick retires (he'll be 66 in April, is he really coaching into his 70's?).
If they manage to keep Jimmy G happy, and considering the staggering lol fest that is the other 3 AFC East teams, they may very well put in another 5-10 years of dominance. And that is assuming Belichick retires at some point.
