South Florida residents are no strangers to the omnipresent risk of inclement weather, but Hurricane Irma's models are not looking promising for those staying on the United States East Coast. , those in the South Florida area should at least be on the alert for the chance of the hurricane disrupting their day-to-day lives, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Here Frank Thomas Jersey are the 5 am AST Sep. 4 Key Me sages for Hurricane : NHC Atlantic Ops (@NHC_Atlantic) Obvious concerns for general safety aside, the is now facing a looming decision under the shadow of Irma. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Miami Dolphins are slated for a Week 1 game at Hard Rock Stadium, and safety i sues may force them to make a move on the game. Whether it's a postponement or moving the game up, the league is going to need to do something if projections continue as they have been.There were conference calls on Tuesday to determine the fate of the showdown, although of the no decisions were ultimately reached. Both teams are trying to figure out Welington Castillo Jersey a fair solution, but conce sions are looking more and more nece sary as time goes on.As for alternatives, both teams have a Week 11 bye. However, the bye week is a valuable a set for any team, and the idea of playing 16 straight games is a daunting one, to put it mildly. Another option could be to move the game up to Thursday, Friday or Saturday, although the logistics of doing so would be extremely difficult.

Although it's a frustrating situation, safety is Michael Jordan Jersey paramount, although Dolphins head coach Adam Gase doesn't seem overly thrilled with the situation (or the hypothetical scenarios it presents). "It doesn't matter what week it is," Gase said during a news conference. "If they tell us they changed the game, we'll just go with it." |
