LeGOATski Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 7 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: It was that way last year as well. It is a permanent rule in the CBA through 2030 to get gameday active rosters increased. Makes it less of a game of attrition It seems like a no-brainer to give yourself an extra man in case of injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 (edited) Weather not looking great for Sunday...calling for thunderstorms all day...has a game ever been rescheduled because of thunderstorms?

Pokebball Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 What happened to the Covid thread re Bills and their opponent? Anyways, perhaps this question should be posted someplace else. Are we past the day and time that Covid can impact our rosters? Or is there yet a test tomorrow (vaxed or unvaxed)? Thanks and sorry if I'm in the wrong thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've definitely seen games delayed a few times. Wasn't there a recent Super Bowl that had issues? 49ers/Ravens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I believe it was delayed due to power outage, if memory serves...it will be interesting to see how tomorrow’s game is handled...does not appear to be any breaks in the weather...

NWS currently says scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, so it will all depend on where the cells are. Sounds like we're in jeopardy of those annoying small delays of 30 min - hour at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some thunder, but personally I'd be shocked if they had thunder for 3-4 hrs straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be pretty thick at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delays for sure. The Miami bills game last year. I can't think at the top of my head in terms of rescheduled though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 3 hours ago, LeGOATski said: This seems weird or maybe I'm not understanding correctly. If you have 8 active OL, you can have 2 extra actives. If you have 7 active OL, you lose those 2 extra actives. What's the reason? That's actually a great question. I'm not sure of the reason. I can speculate, that there may have been games where coaches chose to activate more skill players to have more options available, and perhaps in-game injuries put pressure on injured OLmen to finish the game, since they're so critical to it. Assuming they're counting the LS as an OLman, 8 OLmen means you have 2 reserves (probably a swing tackle and an interior OL) That's actually kind of minimalist.

I think teams were getting into trouble by not having enough OL for games. 3 injuries is a lot but not impossible so the league decided to incentivize keeping an 8th iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
