The Giants got the short stick when it comes to playing teams coming off a bye with no advantage themselves. The game it really hurts is @Denver which just became a very difficult game. I don't think the league did this to punish the Giants, but it is just he way it panned out.
As for a solution . . . Why not give the four teams in each division a bye week together and have them play each other coming out of the bye? Or at very least have the teams coming off bye weeks play each other. It eliminates a competitive disadvantage.
So you want 2 teams to be off every week, including weeks 1 and 2? I'm sure teams will love that.

They should really just incorporate those into the bye week. Instead of a week off, they get two week and a half breaks. The Bye should always be the sunday before the thursday game.

One bye week is enough IMO. And I understand about having all the teams from a division off on the same weekend....so just make it that the 4 teams off...play each other coming out of the bye. I do like the idea of divisional rivals playing each other after bye weeks. No excuses.
Schedules are never going to be equal...and I like the overall setup of the Giants schedule this year. But catching 4 teams off their bye weeks is a little much.
It's fair and ensures 8 games both weeks.

Who said anything about more than one bye week? And did you read the post I was responding to?
2nd bye is coming as soon as they agree to an 18 game schedule!
