Bye weeks? Are they good or bad?

[JerseyCityHawki]

I think coming off a defeat it’s the worst ever but coming off a win is ok… do you think they’re good or bad and for what reason besides to heal up from injuries? I would rather play and not have the byes but it can be beneficial to the players with rest but kills the fans waiting to erase a loss and moving forward…

As a fan, I hate bye weeks, but less painful after a victory than a defeat. As a former player (only high school), you always are dinged a bit, be it simply jammed fingers, or worse thumbs (I wish I would have had a push button start car in high school!), or a thigh bruise from taking a helmet hit, the time to heal and get more of the full team on the field is a positive. Besides injuries, at this point in the season after a couple of games, you have real tape and now time to truly work on things and maybe input a bit more to the playbook.
