Not really though. First it ensures rest, which is a big part of the bye week.This means absolutely nothing.
This, on the other hand, sort of takes away from the importance of the bye week.
Lucky for us we're playing the Steelers in week 8 then.Teams coming off the Bye Week are 1 and 5 this year.

Seondly, if there were a game they would have a walk through on Friday (unnecessary if there is no game) Saturday pretty much off, play Sunday and Monday off. (I'm not exactly certain of the schedule so that may not be 100% correct) So 4 days off in a row incuding bye game day doesn't really take much away.
Philidelphia @ Washington (PHI)
St. Louis @ Greenbay (GB)
Houston @ Baltimore (BAL)
Cleveland @ Oakland (OAK)
Dallas @ New England (NE)
Those are the teams that came off bye's.
Its still 2 weeks to prepare. All you are losing is walkthrough for a game that doesnt exist, game day and 2 normal days off.I'm not trying to take away from the importance of the rest, but they lose the advantage of extra time to prepare (can they go to the facility and film study? Not sure about these rules.), although I'm sure Bill will still be game planning.

Its 2 pretty much full 'workweeks'
And if they are back on Monday (the 5th day) instead of Tuesday, as in a normal week, they gain an extra practice as well.Ahh, you're right. I just saw this weeks schedule. They will practice on Tuesday and Wednesday and start their "break" on Thursday. So, they're basically only missing one practice.
