Early bye week will make it difficult to go on a Super Bowl run

[InDakEyeBack]

Our bye is after Week 6 and it's a 17 game season. That means unless we're the #1 seed we would have to play 11 weeks in a row in the regular season then 3 week more weeks in a row in the playoffs to make the Super Bowl, that's 14 weeks in a row we'll have a game. The Eagles on the other hand get their bye after Week 9. That is a huge advantage to the Eagles.

Wow! You can’t make this stuff up!

 

[mrmojo]

Well we played like we had a Bye against the Cardinals, so maybe were not that bad off.....

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Season is over. Better pack it up.

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

The team might have earned another bye week had they not choked against the Cardinals.

 

[fredp22]

add this excuse to "the sun was in their eyes, the crowd was to loud, the refs were against us"

 

[Bagman]

We should make an effort to beat the Eagles when we play them. That would be more beneficial than the date of their bye week.

Silly you still thinking Super Bowl

More negativity. It never ends. No matter what.

It's not negativity, it's a fact. You think our o-line is going to survive 14 weeks in a row? Good luck with that.

I think it's completely unfair that one team has to play the last 11 weeks while another team gets their bye week after week 9, that's a 9-8 split for them and a 6-11 split for us. Completely unbalanced.

Eagles bye Last year: week 7. Enough with the weak excuses already

Bye weeks begin in week 6 and end in week 13. It is what it is, and every team knows their schedule months before the season. They plan accordingly.

NFL 2023 bye weeks:
Begin Week 5 (Buccaneers, Browns, Chargers, Seahawks)
End Week 14 (Cardinals, Commanders)

What about the "mini-bye" after the two Thursday games? They play the Eagles with a little extra rest.

 

[LonnieElam]

I think our QB, OL, and run defense will make it harder than when our bye week is.

More negativity. It never ends. No matter what.

More of you crying about what strangers on a message board say. It never ends. No matter what.

We have been so banged up on the OL that maybe an early bye will be beneficial, we could have used a week 3 bye.

 

[Jarntt]

Yes. THAT’S why we won’t be winning the Super Bowl, the dreaded early bye

Last season the Cowboys had a week 9 bye while the Eagles had their bye after Week 6.
How'd that turn out?
