heres another wrench in a carry over. what if the game was made up three weeks from now. then in 2 weeks A.JOHNSON goes down and does not play in the game against ravens. if it not played this week it is a tough situation.

Besides, doesn't STATS have a Wed. cutoff?
Banana peels everywhere on this one.
HMan83 Bad idea.

The game will be played before the start of Week 3. Whenever that is.

Way to early for all to be pushing the panic button.

I would hope there is already a contigency plan already in place to play at a different site, but until you hear anything.... WHO KNOWS???

This game will be played before Week 3, and I can't see it any later than Tuesday night.

As for an individual game, I want to say the Dolphins moved a game years ago BACK (I know they played a few EARLY) to a Monday night due to inclement weather (if memory serves, they were playing the Bears???).

Other than that, I can't recall another INDIVIDUAL game getting moved back.

They could play as late as Thursday...and in another location if needed...

His odds for playing in any specific game are 1 in 400,000, hurricane or not.

If these offensive juggernauts were to miss a game they could make your team plummet from 12th in the league to 14th.

You could always drop Stover for a kicker whose team has scored a TD is the last 6 or 7 years.
