This season, our bye week comes in Week 3, as do both the Rams and the Cards, making it a long haul for all 3 teams from now through December. But the Niners get their bye in a more natural place in the season in Week 8.
So my question is this: How are byes determined? With a league that prides themselves in parity in just about everything they do from the draft to scheduling to the salary cap, wouldn't it make sense to give the divisional teams their bye in the same week, or if that's not possible, the following week instead of allowing one team to take it at a more opportune time in the season?
