So, the Niners have had FOUR games vs teams coming off byes. That seems ridiculous to me.
Incredibly ridiculous...
This is upsetting. Not only do we travel way more than everyone else but have the least rest advantage. So dumb.
its all good cause we will get the first round bye and then another week off before the super bowl 😎
Agree about the traveling and rest issues, but being on the west coast and just a few teams on the west coast vs many more teams on the east coast kind of makes those issues permanent and a bit unsolvable.
Well I know being on the west coast created an issue but you'd think we wouldn't be scheduled against so many teams coming off a bye. I mean we had to play what, 3 or 4 teams coming off their bye? Did anyone else have that many?
if that's normal, then I stand corrected but I don't think that's normal.
Easiest solution:
- Get rid of one preseason game (only 2 would be played thereafter)
- Give every team two BYE weeks during the season (one in weeks 1-9 and a second BYE in weeks 10-18). More TNF games = players union needs to clamor for an additional BYE week during the next CBA negotiation.
- Do NOT let Seattle-based Amazon AI "help make" the 49ers' schedule 🙄
Yeah, that is the exact suggestion I brought up several weeks back. Add a second bye week by getting rid of the third pre season game. Start the entire off season a week earlier than usually (so training camp around July 20th).
makes sense to me. The season is long af, these guys need more time off to heal their body's - it'll just improve the quality of games.
They won't start a week earlier because they don't want to conflict with college football's kickoff weekend. If they add another bye it'll be extending the season one week into January and pushing the playoffs a full week later, with the Super Bowl being the 3rd Sunday in February,
