cddolphin Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 So because of replay technology the game must be played in an NFL stadium. New Orleans, Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville being looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I wish those people well in the Caribbean and in Florida that they can get out safely and be alright. I hope these football teams can manage to play 16 games in a row. That'd be tough for anybody to deal with. It might impact their playoff chances this year. But safety first!

New Orleans, Atlanta, Charlotte, Jacksonville being looked at. cancelling the game and moving it to week 11 also is a possibility gona suck for both of our teams to play 16 games straight if that happens the NFL greed is too real. like in a perfect world, the NFL would of refunded the Miami fans money and move the game already to another NFL stadium location already. that's the only thing that is making this decision hard for them......calculating how much money they will lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cddolphin Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Just now, Calibucsfan said: that's the only thing that is making this decision hard for them......calculating how much money they will lose It's being reported both teams are pushing the NFL hard for a neutral site this weekend.. but there is little financial incentive for the owners to do so. This is going to boil down to player safety vs. profit margins. I refuse to accept an NFL explanation that claims it's not feasible to prepare Jax/NO/etc for a game 5 days out.

With the money the NFL has, they can do it in 36 hours if they had to. The problem is they need to do it NOW. The more they wait around, the higher the chances are that we are going to play a very rainy game or get a bye week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriminalMind Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 TB would love a neutral site. MIA is likely ok with neutral site as along as in EST. Put it in Jax or ATL and get it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
