FishFreak Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Forgive me fellas if I'm the last one to notice but check out these nasty bye weeks: Week 6- Cleveland, GB, Indy, Jacksonville, Minnesota and New England Week 7- Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco, St. Louis, Tennessee I don't ever recall six teams being on any given bye week. I thought it's always been four teams. It looks like the NFL eliminated having a bye week 10 and put two more teams on bye for weeks 6 & 7. That means potentially a heck of a lot of players from rosters not being available. Roster depth could be severly tested those weeks and make for painful starting line-ups. This sucks for FF and I'm surprised the NFL elected to give so many teams off weeks 6 & 7. On another note, it also means one less game to watch.

I have learned this in my recent mocks.... they did this to screw fantasy owners and laugh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I don't ever recall six teams being on any given bye week. I thought it's always been four teams. Was 1-3 from 1999-2001 then there were 31 teams. In 1993, the NFL experimented with a 18-week schedule with each team getting 2 bye weeks, so the bye weeks contained 8 teams. Experiment failed.

Can you imagine getting thru a bye week with eight teams out? That's just disgusting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
