If they do have their bye weeks this week it's kind of unfair to both teams as it screws up their normal bye week routine. During bye weeks players get extra rest but this week both teams have been preparing to play all week so they really didn't get the rest they would normally get.Someone in another thread mentioned this might end up being a case of switching Cinci's bye week (to week 10 I think) So these teams can play each other then. Not that anyone cares, but in a wierd way this solved my bye week QB problem.
Very true, but IF they can't get the game in by Monday night, what other options does the NFL have?If they do have their bye weeks this week it's kind of unfair to both teams as it screws up their normal bye week routine.

There is a great quote about life that I heard that fits life perfectly...."Life is not fair"That said, in a situation like this, there may not be any other choice (unless they want to play two games in one week) so that is the way it is if they can't find another venue to play in on Monday.If they do have their bye weeks this week it's kind of unfair to both teams as it screws up their normal bye week routine.

They're stupid for not moving it in the first place. They should have played the game at a neutral site on Monday night like they did a couple of years ago when there were wildfires and the game had to be moved. They gave away tickets and raised money for wildfire victims, it was a win-win for everyone. This time they botched it big time! I'm sure they could have found a stadium somewhere to accomodate the game.Very true, but IF they can't get the game in by Monday night, what other options does the NFL have?If they do have their bye weeks this week it's kind of unfair to both teams as it screws up their normal bye week routine.

Link?Looks like Atlanta is being mentioned as a neutral site for a Monday night game.

Someone in one of the other two threads about this same exact topic mentioned Atlanta, maybe that's his source?Link?Looks like Atlanta is being mentioned as a neutral site for a Monday night game.
The Houston Chronicle is reporting that the Texans' Reliant Stadium is in no condition to host an NFL game Monday night.The stadium may have even sustained enough damage from hurricane Ike that it won't be usable for several weeks. It's not clear yet whether the game will be moved to another site or postponed to a later date. The NFL will likely make a determination Saturday. The Texans bye week (Oct. 26) is a possibility.

I don't think the NFL would make teams play twice in one week.I am shocked no one has mentioned this yet. But I am guessing this means we cannot start any Houston or Ravens player/D this week right? No way yahoo or anyone adjusts the scoring later right?And then when they do play the game, will that team play 2 games in one week? What will we do then? Start Andre Johnson 2 times in one week?![]()
Currently in progress I believe.So when is this ''conference call'' i been hearing about since this am supposed happen?
Where exactly are you getting "the bye week shuffle is on" from an empty page link that simply contains the header "Texans-Ravens game rescheduled again"? The game is obviously being rescheduled. We already know that.Word in Baltimore is that the Bye week shuffle is on.
Ravens to play Texans on what had been Baltimore's bye. Texans-Bengals game gets moved to the week that had been the bye for both of them.

Feel sorry for Balt. they have to play three away games in a row and the last one on Nov 16 is against the NYG.No doubt NYG will win that one Balt. be too tired.Per Mort - Bal-Hou game moved to Nov. 9. Cin-Hou game moved from Nov 9 to Oct. 26.
Glad it's settled. As with the Charger players and the fire a few years back and the Saints and Katrina, I can't imagine playing a game while you were wondering about home, friends and family in the area.It sucks, but I think it's the right thing to do.
The Houston owner wants to cash a check...I don't understand why they don't just play it in the Superdome. It's close. And you'd think Benson would understand the Texans' needs.
Not a picnic for Houston as they now open the year with 3 road games with the most winnable game moved. Also, not sure if they are going to have to play at an alternate site versus their real home stadium.Feel sorry for Balt. they have to play three away games in a row and the last one on Nov 16 is against the NYG.No doubt NYG will win that one Balt. be too tired.Per Mort - Bal-Hou game moved to Nov. 9.
