I'm sure they would have liked having extra time to prepare for GB with Rodgers at QB, Not sure if it helps them having more time to study a QB with less than 200 game snaps of film to look at.

In its quest for equity, NFL Inc should limit the number of times a team faces someone coming off a bye.
They already try to limit road games after a SNF or MNF road game.

I'm also against when two teams (division rivals) have it scheduled to meet two times in a single month (especially if they're only 3 games apart)... I know sometimes it happens with the playoffs, but it shouldn't be scheduled that way, like I remember the 49ers and Seahawks had it one year... with a bye in between, they were playing each other two times in a three game period.
