    What about me, the guy who goes on a couple road trips every year, who traveled to San Antonio to eventually drive to Houston to see the game. I wasted thousands of dollars. WTF...what do I get from the NFL's lack of judgment? It should have been set up at an alternate location.

    Yes we do lose an important bye week int the middle of the season, but having this week off does have an advantage. We have numerous players with naggin injuries to start the regular season. This early bye week should put us in a better position moving forward.

    No way.

    1) We don't get a true bye. The players get 3 days off. Ooooooo.

    2) We now have to play 15 weeks in a row.

    3) 5 of 6 games, 3 in a row, on the road. IN NOVEMBER!


    The fact that EVERYONE knew this storm was coming DAYS in advance, should have given the NFL plenty of time to set the plan. Send Texas to us, change our Oakland game to away, change Texas @ Oakland to a home game.

    How is it fans can figure that out, but the NFL can't?

    Yes we did practice for the week, but what I was referring to is as a team we would not pound each other in practice, and then play a physically demanding game. My remark for the week off meant for the game basically.

    Now, I totally agree that we got screwed by the NFL and would have preferred other considerations in light of Ike. I do try to present an optimistic view though...

    I hope to (insert divine deity here) we can manage to play well on the 15+ game marathon...

    I also hope all the folks in the area hit by the storm are OK... or as OK as possible at least.

    Re: Ravens Game Rescheduled

    It seems to me there was no way to make everyone happy. I think if we were hit by the storm and our stadium was damaged like that we wouldn't be very happy if the NFL just decided that it would be just as well to have the game played at an alternate location. How would that work? How would it be worked out as far as tickets go? How would fans feel if they had to leave their water-logged homes to see their team play three hours away or just flush that hard-earned money down the toilet and maybe not even be able to watch on TV because you have no power. If they just moved the game to another stadium then all the Houston fans would be saying they were screwed and the NFL didn't care about them.

    I know this is a bit late, but I wanted to add that originally I thought the switching Oakland games would be great...but in reality we would have had to play four road games in a row if we made that switch. I really think the NFL could have done something better with the situation. We did get screwed without lube. I hope Goodell liked it.
