Safety is an issue but at the same time does the NFL screw over one team or both. If it would've been moved to a neutral sight that removes any home field opening day advantage the dolphins would've had, not to mention they are already losing one home game by playing in London. That scenario would've had them losing 2 home games giving the advantage to the Bucs.

With this decisions both teams get equally screwed but the playing field is even. This was a Lose-Lose situation and looks like the NFL picked the option that would mess with both teams and not just one. 

Not having a bye week still screws the players. It's the simplest solution but is certainly has a bad side effect for the players.

Good points.  Can't argue with that.  It's tough all around.  My main issue was these guys having to play straight through unlike anyone else but I guess this week will essentially function as a bye.

Hope everyone stays as safe as possible.

Sounds interesting but at the same time I would hate to be the guy who has to build the schedules for every team including 2 bye weeks.

2 weeks without football unless a hurricane.  week 7 would be a bye and week 14 would be a bye for every team.

Yeah you are right about that and the players didn't want it but any decision they made would've had backlash of some sort

No. KC is week 10 and NE is week 9. Although we weirdly have the same bye week as the 49ers.

Haha. After finding out that Miami and Tampa had the same bye, I searched the niners and saw it was the same as ours and decided that was enough to draw a conclusion

The NFL should have moved the game to Thursday night. Why not 2 games on Thursday? Monday night football plays 2 games.

Evacuations are already taking place in Miami. Playing the game in Miami was not really an option. 

They could have moved the game to a neutral site.  Carolina, Atlanta, Jacksonville, and New Orleans are all on the road week one.
