I was talking to a few friends the other day and I brought up this subject of the Saturday teams getting an extra day of rest over the Sunday teams. So the question is should they play both Divisional round games from one conference on Saturday, and then both games from the other conference on Sunday. This way in the Championship games the teams playing against each other will have had the same days of rest. To me this seems like the best way to do it, doubt it will ever happen though.

its not like its unprecedented, teams that play Monday night games have to play on short weeks all throughout the season, and generally every team that's in the playoffs has usually been featured in MNF at least once during the season

the only thing that is F'd up is having the Pro Bowl before the SB! why in the hell would you do that? you honestly think that some of the starters will play if they are going to have to play in the SB?


completely ridiculous.

I believe that they said it's to increase the relevancy of the Pro Bowl with the average fan, but any player chosen from the two Super Bowl teams WILL NOT play for fear of injury before the Super Bowl.

I have not watched a Pro Bowl in many many years. What is the point, you can barely do anything on defense and offense is limited too. Pro Bowl is almost a completely different set of rules all together. I think they should just do away with the probowl game, and do like college does with their All American teams. Just name people to the pro bowl team as an honor but not actually play a game.

im with you Amendial on watching the Pro Bowl, but i have to say the weeks coverage by the NFL network is wonderful. its all inclusive coverage and great interviews. its great tv for the week, but the game is lack luster.

agreed, the problem is don't they usually wait 2-3 weeks AFTER the Superbowl? people tend to be done with football by then


also do we really need the bye week between the conf championships and the Superbowl? that's BS as well, I say do away with that, and put the Pro Bowl in the date the Superbowl is usually played, that way it's still well before Spring Training really kicks off and there's still interest

I think the bye week was added there for the sake of sanity. Otherwise the teams would have to leave from the game they just played to the site of the Super Bowl.

the bye week is FILLED with infor. for the fans, interviews, and preparation for the largest game in NORTH AMERICA!

so i would be in favor of keeping the bye week, like to soak up as much football, before the season is over..

well I for one can't stand it, its the Superbowl, do we REALLY need 2 weeks of hype?
