Can adding a second bye week solve the issue?

The flexing issue isn't adding any additional televised games. They're talking about moving a scheduled Thursday game late in the season to Sunday and replacing it with a previously scheduled Sunday game. Players and coaches don't like it, but it really screws us fans over bigtime. When you have a trip planned for a Sunday noon game that gets flexed to Thursday it would be extremely difficult to make the game. You'd have to take off work, reschedule hotels and/or flights. If you couldn't do that not only would you be forced to miss the game, but you'd have to try to sell the tickets. Thursday night tickets are not as desirable as a Sunday noon game for the same reasons as above.
