Why bye ?

Hate the bye. Why is it in existence? For a long time I thought it was to give teams a rest. But makes no sense. Some teams had their byes early and some have it late. I guess it's some convoluted way to make the schedules work out evenly..or something like that.
Well, if we have to have a bye at least it comes after the London trip. We have some tough games coming up so it gives the Pats longer to prepare for them I guess. I remember a couple of years ago the bye was something like the 2nd or 3rd week. Talk about a screeching halt.

Not being a betting person, I'm will to "bet" that bye = marketing. Does the bye allow the season to go longer hence more commercial time available?

I also dislike the bye week BUT I am hoping my sadness about missing the Pats will be lifted by witnessing a Miami win.

Anyone watching K.C and Matt?

No Patriot's this week. But we'll always have the Titans.

The Chiefs have been awful for several years, but watching the struggles of Matt Cassel and others after they leave the Pats, the brilliance of Belichick is becoming more and more evident.

And that was no more evident than last year when Brady went down.

I wonder if the Chiefs fortunes will change after Scott Pioli has had more time to build the the team. I guess he has his work cut out for him. Cassel looked so good and promising last year. He saved the day. Or was it all Belichick smoke and mirrors ?

admitting openly, I've touted matt since day one on the field here during a pre-season game. I do think he has what it takes. We will be going out for an early Sunday dinner in order to be on the couch to root for a jets LOSS. It's funny how I just can't root for a Miami win.

Rooting for either of these teams is like rooting for the plague.
But what can you do? They play each other twice a year.
But we'd be better off if Miami wins.
