do you think a week 11 bye is good or bad personally i think that its alittle late in the season for a bye i think a late bye can hurt a teams momentum i prefer a week 5 or 6 bye to check out things make personel changes etc. so lets hear what you guy and gals think

Um..a week 11 bye is obviously terrible. Or obviously awesome.

We really won't know until the time comes and we know the circumstances.

I think a later bye is probably better most of the time. However, last year's bye week certainly came at an opportune time.

We'll be breaking down the bye and the entire schedule on an upcoming podcast. I'm excited to have a late bye. It's the perfect time to get healthy just before the playoffs. That's assuming that you're healthy for the first 10 games and even in contention..LOL

+1

if you consider the superbowl and playoff/wildcard games, that bye comes dead square in the middle of the season. maybe its a good time to give Old Man Polamalu a break, might keep him fresh enough to finish unlike last year.
