Why are there no teams with a bye on Week 10?
I noticed on the NFL schedule that teams have byes up until Week 9, then there's a week with no byes scheduled on Week 10, then the last 4 teams to get a bye have it on Week 11. Just wondering why they skipped that week.

It has to do with the precautions the NFL took this year in case of a lockout. One other anomaly in the schedule that very few people seem to notice is that usually byes start during week 4, but this year byes start week 5. This gave the NFL a few extra weeks to work with in case they missed any time because of the lockout. This way, if they lost the first two or three weeks, they could still start off the regular season with every team playing instead of having teams with byes during the very first week of play. Due to scheduling conflicts, they could only work it out that there would be byes week 11 and not during week 10.

11 Weeks into the NFL season. What grade from A to F would you give the head coach of your favorite NFL team?
Be fair and take in consideration the following.
Their current overall talent
Team injuries
2007 Drafting
Toughness of their schedule
Amount of dumb penalties. ( Team discipline. )
Beating rivals
Play calling
You get where I'm going with this.

Cowboys
Wade Philips
He inherited a talented young team. No major injuries(crossing my fingers) Ferguson is the only major one but Tank has helped Ratliff solidify that position. There has been a lot of stupid a penalties but since they owned up to them now, we shall see if there are less.
They have taken it to the eagles, redskins and Giants this season so far are undefeated in their division.
Play calling has been great.
I will give Wade a B+. Only because he has kept the team together. And they seem to be responding to his demands. T.O. Is not the T.O. Of old in the locker room. That alone should tell you that Wade is doing a great job with the team.
Michael asks…
Game of the Week for Week 11?
Obviously, when the NFL and the tv people set the schedule for this year, they were thinking that the Colts vs Chargers game would be huge this week. It still is a compelling game to watch, anytime those two teams play it's fireworks. Probably 80 points will be scored between the two.
But the Pack vs the Falcons...what a great game! And next week's MNF game is the Patriots vs the Jets. The winners of these two games could possibly meet again in Jerry Jones' monstrosity.
What's your "Game of the Week"?

First Off this is Week 12
Second Game Of The Week? Simple: Green Bay @ Atlanta
The 2 best teams in the NFC Head to Head in the hardest place to play in the NFL The Georgia Dome. I go with my Falcons to win this one
Ruth asks…
Weird NFL scheduling quirk...?
Can anyone figure out why NFL teams have bye weeks in weeks 5 through 9 as well as week 11, but not week 10? There's got to be some sort of reason right? I can't seem to find any explanation.
admin answers:
Mainly its just a quirk in the schedule i think week 12 is the thanksgiving week where some teams play on Thursday and needs to give them time off
