I know they're necessary and lord knows our bye week couldn't have come at a better time, but man I really hate having to wait 2 entire weeks to see my team play again. Sitting beack and wondering and analyzing and worrying about everything for that long really stinks!! Not only that, it screws up my fantasy football! LOL!

So with that said, since the 'Boys aren't playing, what game are you most excited about this week?? For me, I'm stoked to see the Giants get their butts whooped by the Saints!! (hopefully!!!)

And LETS GO HORNS!!!! Oklahoma is going down!!!

Even worse for me. I have to sit through Chiefs-Commanders, and since the Skins are playing at home, that means the local Fox affiliate can't show the Giants-New Orleans game, which kicks off at the same time. :mad:

I agree. This Atlanta game could be a key game as far as how the next several games go for us IMO. Stinks having to wait two weeks for it, even as much as we know the players need the rest.

I don't if you get the NFL redzone but it is a great way to see the other games

One bye week is ok. I recall in the '93 season there were TWO bye weeks (of course they started that year before labor day).

Giants/Saints, Ravens/Vikes.

I don't care for the bye week either but my fantasy league will keep me occupied from now on. I'm 3-1 in our standings (tied for 3rd) so I gotta stay on my toes!

This year is the first year I didn't mind it. I love the Cowboys and still have faith in them but man as a fan I think we even needed a breather after these past couple of weeks. And plus with fantasy football it gives you a reason to watch other games. This is my first year playing so I got something to occupy me this year. But yea it does suck to have to wait two weeks to see them play but i'm in no rush sadly to see them play.

I agree. I was looking forward to getting to this bye week. Coaching staff is going to use the time to work on the 2 min defense as well as working on redzone offense. Coming out of the bye we have some tough games and knowing we will have some players back and some much needed work it could not have come at a better time for this team

I kinda like the bye week.

I can sit and enjoy other games without worrying about what the Cowboys are going to be doing in their game.

This team needs to bye week in the worst way. They need to get healthy and get back mentally focused. A week without the media hounding us is also good.

I agree. I Didn't know how tough this schedule was. We're lucky to have the Raiders but outside of that? This schedule is brutal. Contender every week. I just hope they work during this bye week. I'm happy to hear they're working on 2 minute drill defenses.

For what it's worth... Wade is working them Wednesday and Thursday. Galloway thought they should practice Friday and Saturday, too, but Mosley was pointing out that that's more than any other NFC East team is practicing during the bye week. He said Reid gives his players the entire week off no matter their record.

And he said Reid picked that up from Mike Holmgren. In fact, Mosley said if we get Holmgren, everyone will be happy to have this bad-a coach, but Mike tells the players and even the coaches to get lost and not even come back to the office until next Tuesday.

Oh wow. I don't like that approach from Holgrem at all. You should let them rest but you should be out there to work on any negatives you may have and EVERYONE has negatives including teams 5-0.
