Does the math work with the beginning of the season creating a weird situation where a team will play its first game four days after all the others? And no one will be happy with a team having a bye at the end of the season just before the playoffs get underway.

Rodgers was asked about a second bye week yesterday for this express purpose and he didn't like it. He thought a second bye week just made the season longer. Not the same as seven days off.

He also mentioned that the ultimate goal of a second by week would be to usher in an 18 game season.
