Bye Week Coming Up

[12thMan]

I know I'm jumping the gun a little, especially with all of us so antsy waiting for 9:00 to get here. However, after tonight's game the Redskins go into a bye week, which at first and still do think is way too early to have.

But with Jansen, Noble, Jacobs (still on the mend), Ryan Clark, and of course Hall all still injured this may be just the thing we need to get these guys near if not 100%. My only concern is that there are sure to be more nagging injuries to mount as the season wears on and we'll have to just play through them. Not to mention if we beat Dallas tonight the bye could be somewhat of a momentum killer.

I would have like to seen the bye come somewhere around the seventh or eighth game of the season. Do you guys think we have put too much stock in the bye weeks since they've started having them or could this impact our team later down the road? During the 80's and the 90's the Redskins and other teams would just roll right through the season injuries and all.

I just think it's a horrible time to have one. The only positive for us, as I said earlier, is that the other guys get to recoup some.
