Will either play at a neutral site on Sundray, or postponed. The teams share a bye week in November.

What are the chances they play in the Dome on Sunday?

Moved to Nov. 19th. LINK

Options for game site: New Orleans, Philadelphia, per source. A lot of people in Davie uneasy about idea of rescheduling on Week 11 bye


75% chance. They just did it with lsu, will give them another chance to do it again

If it's played on Sunday, it will have to either be at FSU or New Orleans at this point.

The only alternative is playing it in Tampa on Thursday or if they are really brave, Miami on Thursday

It likely will be postponed until week 11, though.

Agreed. This is the most probable outcome, IMO.


If the game is indeed played in the Dome though, would any of you go? I think I would. Would probably be able to get tix on the cheap.

They could also play it in Jacksonville or Charlotte.

I think it would be really foolish to move the game to week 11 personally.

You really think they gonna take a bye week away, and make 2 teams play 16 games straight?

I would bet Miami would prefer this to having to give up a home game.

There is precedent for the 16 straight games with no bye week...

For the 1999, 2000, and 2001 seasons, there was an odd number of teams and instead of making the season an 18 week season like they did in 1993, a team had to have a week 1 bye and another team had to have a week 17 bye.

In 1999, the Chargers had a week 1 bye and the Browns had a week 17 bye.

In 2000, the Bengals had a week 1 bye and the Browns had a week 17 bye.

In 2001, the Cardinals had a week 1 bye and Chargers had a week 17 bye.

The NFL was speaking with the folks at the dome earlier today.

I would probably go if they played in the Dome.

I know a lot of Bucs and Dolphins players and coaches really want to play at a neutral site on Sunday

I saw someone on Reddit say they should definitely move it to Nola because we can definitely fill the dome up and boo the bucs facts

I hope it doesn't happen and the Buccaneers are one game short of a playoff spot. Would be great.

Wait, feels like I said those words before.

How do the Dolphins not have their bye after our game with them in London, like we do? I thought that was one of the stipulations of playing in London.

And to comment, it would be a very anti-Bucs crowd. Possibly more so than in Miami and the turnout would be ok with us not playing till Monday.
