nelms Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Obviously because of Hurricane Jeanne. No make-up date has been determined. Adjust those fantasy football lineups. I have Plaxico Burress and Duce Staley. Not a big loss with Burress in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBkilla56 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 What is with all the hurricanes? This is really getting out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsBry Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 They should move it to a Monday night. I remember several years back (1997 I think) a Sunday game was cancelled and moved to Monday night. I went to a sports bar and was able to watch both games.

First, they would have to make that decision today for logistical reasons. They're not going to know how bad the damage is going to be in Miami until the hurricane actually hits. Second, I think the NFL wants to avoid the negative image of playing a game just after a hurricane has blown through. Last but not least, they're not going to want to conflict with the Redskins-Cowboys game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenF Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Their are reports that the game will be rescheduled to Sunday night, Monday night, or Tuesday night. I wonder, will fantasy lineups reflect the points for the game if it is played on Tuesday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelms Posted September 25, 2004 Author Share Posted September 25, 2004 ESPN.com just reported that the game will be played Sunday night at 8:30pm. I don't think is a smart move by the NFL in my opinion, especially if Miami ends up getting slammed hard by the hurricane. Well, gotta go change my fantasy lineup again. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskns21 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Yeah, Sunday @ 8:30 is correct. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1888519 Saturday, September 25, 2004 ESPN.com news services MIAMI -- Hurricane Jeanne forced the postponement of Sunday's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Miami Dolphins -- but only by several hours. ESPN's Hank Goldberg reports that teams now are scheduled to play at 8:30 p.m. Sunday rather than at 1. The decision to postpone the game was made after the Dolphins discussed the matter with the NFL, Dolphins president Eddie Jones said Saturday. Team and league officials were monitoring the hurricane. "The Commissioner's office has asked the two teams to consider the larger public safety issues to determine when the game can best be played," Jones said in a statement. The Steelers flew in to South Florida on Friday, a day early, because of the hurricane. Hurricane Jeanne is the latest in a string of weather problems that have plagued the Dolphins this season. Miami's opening game against Tennessee was moved up one day and played on a Saturday because of Hurricane Ivan. One week before that, the NFL forced the Dolphins to travel to New Orleans for an exhibition game after players balked at leaving their families while in the path of Hurricane Frances.

Brave Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I wonder how will this work when they make the game up? I've got Hines Ward on one of my teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about a total brain fart. Nobody interferes with our beloved 'Skins. Any other Monday night would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 979guy Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I don't undertand how a few hours may matter to "public safety"., and they'd know it already today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECU-ALUM Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Is this going to be like the last time with Tennessee and Miami in that no one is going to see it outside of Miami & Pittsburgh? :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
