Do they share a bye week?

Seems the NFL would relocate the game if not. Even if they do I can't see them playing 16 straight weeks

They were supposed to make a decision by the end of today. Postponing until week 11 when they both have bye weeks means they would play 16 straight games. Friday and Saturday were also possibilities according to Mike and Mike this morning.

Less disruption if you get a rhythm going?

Tampa area is freaking out right now. Water is already pretty much sold out everywhere. I imagine it's even worse in the Miami area. They won't reschedule that game anytime this week or weekend.

There's not much water left at all anywhere between Tampa and Miami.

The eye is predicted to be at the Keys on Sunday at 8 am. This game for certain will be moved or postponed.

Bucs-Dolphins game likely to be rescheduled for Week 11 (Nov. 19), when both teams have a bye, per @JeffDarlington. Not final but likely.

Kind of dumb. Should definitely just be a neutral site game.

anyhoo.

So this means Doug Martin's suspension doesn't end until after week 4 instead of week 3.

I would imagine they want to, the PR hit would be "how can you whine about having to play those games when this storm is about to bring unprecedented devastation???"

when the reality is it likely has more to do with the Phins owner not wanting to lose home game revenue. Goodell is all about player safety though
