(AP) - The NFL has repaid its promise to Cleveland by awarding it an expansion franchise to start play in 1999. Now it has to deal with the fallout - a league with 31 teams, an odd number that will force at least one team to be off each week, including the fust and last weeks of the season. " I'd love to have a bye week then," Pittsburgh owner Dan Rooney said of the final weekend. "It would allow us to rest up for the playoffs. But I certainly wouldn't want it if we already had a playoff bye. Two weeks off at that time of the year is too much." For now, Rooney's te.am is probably too good to get the last week off. The NFL is expected to give the probable contenders bye weeks in the first half of the season. That would leave the bye weeks late in the season for teams that finished last or close to it the previous season - the least likely teams to be out of the races. But that is not a perfect system in an era when a team can go from bad to good or good co bad very quickly. Examples: The Dallas Cowboys went from 106 to 6-10 last season and the Oakland Raiders, a presumed Super Bowl contender at the start of the year, finished 4-12. On the other hand, the New York Giants and Jets and Tampa Bay all suddenly became contenders, the Giants going from last to first in the NFC East. Jn fact the Jets, 1-15 in 1996, might have had the last week off in 1997 in a 31-team league. In a 30-team league, they played one of the more dramatic fin al games in recent yeaTs, a 13-10 loss to Detroit that knocked them out of the playoffs and put the Lions in. "It's a mixed bag," said Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy, who guided the Bucs into the playoffs last season for the first time in 15 years. "U you're already in and you know you'll play the next week it's great to rest players up. On the other hand, maybe it's your opponent that gets that week off and your first playoff game is against a te.am that's healthier and more rested than you are." It's not only the regular season schedule that wiJJ be difficult. " The bigger problem is actually with the exhibition season," said Joe Ellis, the league's vice president for club administration. ''The teams largely make their own matches and we have to make sure everything meshes." It's also unlikely to be a one-year thing - it will probably be at least two more years until the NFL gets a second expansion team, most likely in Los Angeles or Houston. So someone will still be off the final week. "There's a thin line with momentum," said John Beake, general manager of the Denver Broncos, who lost their first playoff game two years ago when they got a bye, but won the Super Bowl last season as a wild-card team. |
