NFL 2017-2018

I don't know how I feel about the Bucs and Dolphins having to play 16 straight games. Seems something could have been worked out better to me. Sucks for all of the players.

The only other thing would be to move the game. I'd guess that the lost revenue of the home city was not desirable. Didn't they already lose a game by it being played across the pond?

I think losing some money could be better than your players having to play 16 games and not getting rest, surely since I think the bye week they lose(and that the bucs lose) is right aftet the Dolphins come back from London.

I don't know, the players didn't seem to like this idea, that bye week is important to them so they don't get hurt.

I hear what you are saying but this is the NFL..... Money talks.

The game could easily be moved. They chose not to do it. I think that speaks volumes. That was the only option to avoid what is going to take place.

Was moving the game up a few days not a choice? I mean getting it in say Thursday(have it start after the Patriots game starts so they get kickoff) or early Friday sometime? I don't know. I just hope the players are able to handle it. Lucky for them its not like it's teams that have playoff hopes so they probably won't have to worry about more playing after those 16 haha.

This also happened to the Dolphins in 1992 when Andrew hit. They had to move their season opener against the Patriots (can't remember why they couldn't just swap dates) to Week 7, when they both had a bye. They also had to move their 2004 season opener against the Titans to Saturday because of an impending hurricane.

That moment when you realized you had Hunt on your bench:

My coworker had him starting only because of the Dolphins game being rescheduled and when he fumbled the first carry was so mad...I'm sure hes good now
 
I only got 14.30 points tonight in the league I'm in. I got Gronk and Gostkowski from the Patriots, shocked that Gronk didn't pick me up more than he did tbh.

This was my first time doing one of these drafts and xD well I got the worst draft grade of my whole league lol.

its still quite a beating for the champs
 
Good: Love the Pats losing. :)
Bad: Chiefs are in the AFC West with the Raiders. :(

so much for the 19-0 that the "experts" were saying the Pats had a real shot at doing.

A lot of the same experts are predicting the Jets to go 0-16 this year too. It'd be funny if they beat Buffalo on Sunday, which would actually make them 1st place in the division.

In the 37 seasons that have had a 16 game schedule, there has been only one 16-0 team and one 0-16 team. But it seems like these talking heads predict it every year.

What makes those two season funny is that in the Lions 0-16 season, they went 4-0 in preseason and the Pats
16-0 season, they went 0-4 in preseason. I know preseason doesn't matter but that's still funny.
 
Some possibly big injuries for the Eagles with Darby carted off and Jason Peters
