Will this week's game be postponed or moved due to Ike? [Yes]

So that's where ESPN comes in. They had to consent for another game to butt into their protected time slot (obviously any competition, no matter how minor, pulls a percentage of viewers from the game they're showing thus diminishing the value of the ads they are selling).

So I guess that means you'll get the Texans if you have Sunday Ticket or if you are in the local markets for Houston and Baltimore.

Reliant Stadium has been damaged. There will be no game on Monday. More to come once teams discuss with the league.

It would be really cool to see the game moved next door to the Astrodome but I'm guessing that the Dome is not in playable shape anymore.

So, what's Kyle Field doing this week?

Is there any reason why this game isn't being moved to another stadium?

The bye week idea is AWFUL.

I have no idea why they can't play the game Monday in San Antonio. Or New Orleans. Or who cares where. You're right, the Texans having their bye at week two is horrible.

Per McClain:

Texans have moved their game with the Bengals for that week to their scheduled bye week (Oct. 26th) so both teams will have Nov. 9th free to play the game.

I hate it.

We have to sacrifice our bye week? Damn.
