Bye-Bye, Bye Weeks…

[Steeler Nation]

By(e): G.Stryker So it’s the bye week for Pittsburgh, and Green Bay, and Oakland, and Seattle. *That’s 4 teams not playing football this week, and there’s nothing wrong with that. *Those 4 teams get to rest and recharge during the seventh week of the season, 6 games played and 10 more to go. *Still too […]

During the 2 bye weeks, the NFL and NFLPA sponsor player lead football clinics and community outreach programs. Heavily advertised and covered.

Ditch preaseason and allow more contact in preseason practices.

It has to do with TV methinks. Personally enjoying a Sunday without a house full of my Steeler friends screaming, cussing, yelling etc., at the TVs. Today is stress free, last Sunday took years off my life

This makes too much sense. It will never work.

No byes. Just football.

If they want buys, NFC has a week off. AFC has next week . or, both have the same week and not have games for 1 week.
