I hate the bye week

[GimmeTheBall!]

Yes, lads, 17 grueling games is a lot for NFL players to get through in a season.

But if you athletes are paid CEO salaries, play the entire schedule without the break.
And if the players absolutely need a break, give the entire league a bye week at the same time.
None of this "we are tied with so-and-so in the East but gotta wait till team X gets back from the bye."
Many complain about Daylight Saving Time, the Electoral College and the Bye Week, but no one does a thing about them.

Blimey, get rid of the bye week!

They especially hate the bye week in Farmers Branch.

Don't worry you'll be back to watching the Cowboys getting their arses whipped on a weekly basis in no time at all.

If they did a league wide bye. I would like that league wide bye be the week of the trade deadline. Then players could get to new teams and all that fun stuff. I doubt it will happen because a league wide bye week would cost millions to the league.

Just wait until there is two bye weeks…..it is coming.

Such a delicious thought.

I've been there a few times. I think it gave Gimme 5 bucks when he was pan handling in front of the Gas Monkey

Yup...I remember needing to take a couple of breaks.....especially after a night on sixth street

Lol, these modern day gladiators need the bye. Are you nuts?

Already had that in the 90s. Scrapped in 93 if I recall correctly. Fans hated it, and would still hate it so it is for sure coming to the Goodell NFL. Might as well make it 4 bye weeks while they are at it, and make every game an 80 dollar ppv.

LOL

Modern day NFL players are babied and coddled. They couldn't survive the 70s and 80s NFL. Those were some tough guys.

Excellent idea.

Nuts for football year-round.
17 games in a row is rough. But a league-wide break would benefit all.
Again, 17 games in a row is rough, but their pay is spectacularly high enough that the money assuages the pain.

I am reporting you to @Rockport
You don't seem to be all in.

YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THIS!!!!!!! For the last several years I've said this loudly, let's make it fair for everyone and let everyone have a bye at the same time. The league will miss out on money, they'll be fine I'm sure. Hell make an NFL event like a championship flag football game or something!

Someone also mentioned with all the games, give each team two bye weeks, I don't know how I feel about that

Didn't they also mention pushing the trade deadline back?? That's good too make it around this time at the halfway point or whatever

Same gladiators that are out 6 weeks for a hangnail!!
