Michael Beller: Fitz, I’m not complaining. I’m really not. This is merely an honest question that takes on a somewhat-annoyed tone. Is there any logical reason we can’t have evenly distributed bye weeks? There are 32 teams in the NFL. Is there something wrong with four teams on bye for eight weeks? From Week 4 through Week 11, four teams could go on bye. What’s wrong with that? There’s no logistical reason I’m missing that makes that impractical, right? Seems like it would be a whole lot better, for both fantasy and real-life purposes.
Alas, we do not have even bye weeks, so Week 8 marks our first dance with six teams taking a seat.
