To make it the most fair they should find a way to have the bye weeks happen in like a three week span starting in week 8. Weeks 8, 9 & 10. That way no team is at a big disadvantage late in the season because they've played 8 to 10 games in a row and they're going against a team that's coming off a bye or have only played a couple games in a row after the bye.

Just shut the fucking league down on bye weeks, and let every team rest at the same time. [Reply]

The good thing is they are playing their hated rivals Baltimore on the road. That's gonna be a very physical game indeed. The last time they played the Ravens they lost their next game vs the Browns. [Reply]

I get that. My concern is more with rehabbing a hurt ankle traveling on the road for a 4 day turnaround. It’s tough enough for bodies to recover, let alone injured parts. [Reply]

They will get plenty of time to recover after they lock up the #1 seed against the Steelers. [Reply]

Not gonna lie, I kind of wanted to see the board’s reaction if Wentz had gone out and thrown for 4 touchdowns and connected with Worthy deep a couple times.
Would’ve been some entertaining discourse. [Reply]

I doubt Pat will accept that, though. If he can play, he's going to want to be out there.
I think that's how I would've handled it. Dress Patrick, but start Wentz. If we get down 14+ or the offense is completely stagnant bring in Pat. That shit is his bread and butter anyhow. [Reply]
