I personally dont like bye weeks either. the league went from 14-16 games in 1978. Bye weeks started in 1990.

In 1998 bye weeks became neccesary when the league had 31 teams. In 2002 the league was back to an even amount of teams and all was well.

A while back, I did a comparison of all professional sports of their percentages for pre-season vs regular season. Football blew everyone else away with a 25% rate of playing games that don't mean squat.

My personal opinion....cut the bye week, cut 2 pre-season games and add 2 weeks of mandatory practice time in the off season what would be available at each team's discretion.

Oh yeah and cut the damn week before the SB, too !!

All excellent suggestions. I didn't realize the damn bye week had been around for 16 years already....man did I hate it when they instituted it.
I still hate it...it isn't needed, teams have 50+ man rosters...if you have depth you don't need it.

Maybe that's why so many here are in favor of it....

Green is likely to play vs. Miami and practiced today.

Blackmon is practicing and may see some action as well.

Woodson is still banged up.

Thanks for the update. I wonder if Ahman is somebody to sell if you have him or try to buy low if you don't.
