I always do. Unless someone important needs rest I hate it.

It's two fold.

For one, I know I can enjoy a day of stress free football and that we are certain the Cowboys will not lose today.

For two, it is not near as exciting as a normal Sunday, especially one with a big win.

Personally, if I had it my way, the Cowboys would play every Sunday at 12:00 or 3:00 at the latest. I have gotten to where I hate Sunday and Monday night games, in spite of our decent amount of success. My favorite games are Sunday at 12:00 at home.

I *HATE* the bye week... so darn boring.

Though there is a decent game on (NYG @ NO). I can cheer for NO.

I prefer 12:00 games too. I don't like the wait until 7:00 or the next day. The only thing I like about Sunday night football is the players introduce themselves. I always thought that was cool.

Hate the bye. But it comes at a good time for the cowboys this year. Several key guys are banged up and it will give them an extra week to recover. Also, hopefully more snaps for austin with the starting offense.

At least we get to watch the giants and saints

I usually dread it but this year I love it. I don't have to worry about the prospect of yet another underwhelming performance by my beloved Boys. My blood pressure is much lower this morning.

You can't pick with your heart. :) I had chance for Romo and passed on him for Rivers.

Its worked out most of the past few yrs for me. Have had Romo for several seasons.

I really thought Romo and our defense would be great though. Thought RW would catch 75-80 passes and 8-10 tds or so (and he still may)

Cowboys defense, ugh.

Wow. That's a last place roster right there...

I'm 4-1 (1st place) in one ESPN league and 0-5 (pulling up the rear KC Chiefs style) in another. Check out some of these picks from my 0-5 team...

Original draft picks are bolded. The rest are WW pickups in an attempt to figure out what the hell is goin on. :D

Drew Brees
Ray Rice
Ahmad Bradshaw

Pierre Thomas
Steve Smith, Car WR
Roddy White
Kellen Winslow
D/ST Steelers
Lawrence Tynes

Bench...
Steven Jackson
Tony Gonzalez

Jay Cutler
Percy Harvin
Miles Austin
Austin Collie
Jeremy Maclin

I have never looked forward to bye more. I'm just waiting for the score ticker to scroll across the bottom of the screen and show the Cowboys down by 10 at halftime.

I hate the bye week. All you can really do is root against the NFC east.

*Interesting tidbit of info I heard today - Atlanta's next 4 opponents will be against teams coming off their bye week; starting with the Cowboys. I'd be really pissed if that was us.

this bye week was great. history was made with all the other NFCE teams losing and I think with the bye week I got my passion back. I'm actually excited to see us play next week.
