The NFL has changed its schedule due to covid-19 postponements. Jets play Dolphins next week, in week 6. The bye is now in week 10 and then we play the Chargers in week 11.
I think this is BS. The schedule should remain as it was. If a team winds up not being able to play because of a number of Covid cases, they should have to forfeit.
What I don't like about this is Dolphins are playing a West Coast game now. And looks like they are invested heavily going toe to toe against 49ers. We will play a Dolphins team that is tired and emotionally drained. I want Jets to lose so for me this isn't good news.
Yeah once the byes start happening and they start losing that option what the f are they going to do.
They will extend the season a week or two and play the postponed games then is what I think. But if COVID gets out of control, all bets are off.
The NFL screwed this entire thing up from the jump. But what they're doing now is the best damage control they can do. They will not miss games or force forfeitures. They'd rather extend the season into March than see that happen. Which is honestly fine with me beyond screwing up fantasy football pretty badly.
If you’ve seen any of the Dolphins dismantling the 49ers this week your mind should be at ease. They’ll only have to play a half this week and next.
At least the NFL has an opportunity to do just that, apparently they have a first refusal to hotels for three weeks after the Super Bowl, so they obviously have plans to add weeks to the regular season if need be.
So wait we fly to LA play the Chargers, come home play Miami and Vegas, then fly to Seattle and then LA for the Rams lolol amazing
