Bye weeks suck... - The Orange Mane

Taco John · 10-31-2005, 10:57 PM

I hate the bye week. I mean, it's good that the players get a break and all. I'm for that. Especially with Bailey, who needs to get healed up. But going a whole week without Broncos football is excrutiating for me.

That said, there will be some interesting stories to watch during week 9:

Oakland vs. Kansas City

Despite hating both of these teams, watching this game is always a treat. Sad as it is, I'll be forced to root for Oakland due to the fact that the Chiefs would only be one game behind us if they should win. Go Oaaaaa... Go Oaaakla... Ah screw it. LOSE CHIEFS!

San Diego @ NY Jets

On a two game losing skid, and with almost no hope of winning their division, the Jets look poised to give the Chargers a step back into the division race. With a win here, the Chargers are one game back from us, with us still travelling to San Diego later this year (December 31st to be exact). While it's unlikely the Jets can/will win this game, it's always fun to root for the underdog.

Philadelphia @ Washington

Both teams are at the bottom of their division at 4-3. That's a tight division. It's worth noting that the Redskins are on a two game losing skid, and still have to face Tampa Bay, Oakland, San Diego, St. Louis, Arizona, Dallas, the Giants, and Philly again. There's plenty of games to lose on that schedule!

Indianapolis @ New England

This, to me, has got to be considered the game of the year. The result of this game will send shockwaves throughout the rest of the AFC. This is one game that I don't plan on missing. It would be great to see New England bring Indy back down to earth!

Bye weeks do suck for fans...I want my Broncos football fix, dammit...

Oh well, the players need to get healthy for the second half of the season...

it's a good time to catch up on ncaa prospects that you can yell at shanahan for passing over in rounds 1-5(no one ever knows the 6th round guys)

you can always watch NASCAR on Sunday to ease the pain.

Being in fantasy leagues helps for the bye weeks but I'd rather not have them.

Actually, the Skins won the week before (49ers) but have lost 3 out of their last 4

You can always root for the Hokies on Saturday Night.

Go Hokies!!!
