Bears Willing To Accomadate the Redskins

by Adam T on Nov 29, 2007 3:48 PM CST in News

On December 6th the Chicago will play the Redskins at the Skins stadium. This game is a Thursday night game. With the recent death of safety Sean Taylor there is some question of whether the team could be ready for the game.

The Redskins will host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and then plan to fly the entire organization to Miami early Monday for Taylor's funeral. That will leave the Redskins limited practice time before hosting the Bears next Thursday.

Coach Smith stated that if the Redskins petitioned the league to allow the game to be moved, the Bears would be willing to play them on December 8th, 9th or 10th. The Bears with the Thursday game and their next game being the Monday-nighter against the Vikings already have more then enough time to get proper preparation in.

Typically, the league is very strict in the way the run the show. Anything that messes with the system is seen as bad. This move also would bring issues with the station that would be carrying the game as well as fans who already have tickets and may already have accommodations in place.

Network

It is a Thursday night game, so it would be on the NFL Network. If the NFL wanted to move it, I am pretty sure that their own network would be able to accommodate it, especially considering the NFLN runs the same programming over and over and over and over again.

MJD?

You're better off drinking an MGD. Gore is the guy.

I see the colts getting a big lead early and making the running game a non factor.

NFL has no problem rearranging ...

Sunday night games if Destiny's Team (tm) is still undefeated, just so we can watch that team win 56-10. In this case, however, it would just accommodate a team grieving over a tragedy. I'm sure the former is much more important. Glad the NFL has its priorities straight. [/snark]
