This game won’t be played and we will have a back to back against the Panthers in week 18

If It's postponed then maybe we can watch in person at Tiger Stadium

Grass field with two days between games. Oh no.

 

[GeneHansen]

Can’t they just meet at a high school or a local park and get some practice reps in?

This is a problem. If the league is tacking on games at the end of the year due to COVID outbreaks now, and has already moved games around due to the flexibility of a bye which at this stage of the schedule generally lies ahead for most teams, the league is going to run out of wriggle room as the season progresses and the margin for error becomes narrower. My feeling is, come week 10, they are going to have to push the whole season back to buy more time to get all these games in.

Or as someone said in another thread before what was the point of expanding the practice squad players if all they're going to do is postpone or push games back? I mean wasn't the reason for expanding was so they can fill in when needed??

Hopefully the game gets played and their absence from the regular grind works to our favor. Bridgewater’s familiarity with our defense is already a concern.

I wouldn't say Teddy is familiar with "this" defense! Lol

Yes. To be fair, some of our own players aren’t familiar with our defense yet.

right? TB will know what they're supposed to do, but what they actually do will be a surprise for all of us

So they will get a day to practice and then fly on Saturday. That should help us.

I don’t know about that . Tennessee seemed to better with the ZOOM practices.
