Postponement

keithday123 · 12-26-2021, 06:16 PM

I have been against the league postponing games due to covid related issues and I agreed with the league when they came out prior to opening week and said that no games would be postponed. However, by moving a couple of last weeks games to Tuesday did the NFL just open itself up for ridicule,AGAIN, and why has there been no outcry to move tomorrow nights game. Maybe I missed an explanation. Can anyone elaborate if you’ve heard something.

I think they were more inclined to do it for Sunday afternoon games. A Monday night game, no matter how justified, would be a blow to ESPN (the NFL partner).

The Saints don't get freebies from the league, its officials, or any representative of the league. Lol

There are several viqueen fans that would disagree!

Sean didn't leave the competition committee because he was too busy...

Just sayin...

Watch them decide to postpone the game AFTER we drive five hours down to NOLA.

I am kind of shocked this game hasn't been postponed. Not sure how the NFL can justify playing this game tonight with over 20 players out. I guess on the flip side of things it wouldn't be fair for the Dolphins if this game does get pushed back, who knows.

I know all these remaining games are must win, but since we already know the Panthers and Falcons games are more important, there is a good chance this may turn out to be an insignificant game anyway. At least we can hope it is.

Well, good luck to the Saints preseason look tonight, hopefully the debut of Book will go well and hopefully we can avoid the debut of Blake Bortles. Bortles can battle it out with Siemian at a later time for a backup roll.

On the flip side though do we want to play our last 3 games in 13 days or less?

Uh yes, yes we do. Would be much better than playing without half our team. Either way it won’t be easy.
