It is a permanent rule in the CBA through 2030 to get gameday active rosters increased. Makes it less of a game of attrition Expand It seems like a no-brainer to give yourself an extra man in case of injury. 1
JaCrispy Posted September 11, 2021 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? Edited September 11, 2021 by JaCrispy
Pokebball Posted September 11, 2021 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

Expand 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

It'll be pretty thick at times.

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? Expand 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.

Not positive though. Expand 46 if you only have 7. 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

It makes no sense. I'm pretty sure you can dress 47 even if you only dress 7 o-linemen.
