Bye weeks are an important part of football. Every team awaits their bye week. The main reason for this is injuries. Every team has them, some are more severe than others. In some cases a team has good depth, so they don't have to worry about their injury or injuries.
Another reason for these bye weeks is rest. If you don't rest your players, then they could get injured or just break down and their play drops off. Rest is an essential part of any sport. Why do you think a team will rest a player if they are blowing out a team or have locked up the playoffs.
Lastly, another reason for bye weeks are to gear for the second part of the reason. What do I mean by this? It's quite simple. If a team is say 6-1 when they go on their bye, after their bye, they are more likely to not take as many risks as early in the year. Example, Green Bay's fake field goal against the Bears, going for of on 4th and 2 at your own 20.
So, now that you understand bye weeks and what the point of them are, don't complain because they're are good thing for all teams and their fans.
