Guessing but the two reasons I see for bringing it up now are:1) Playing the Jets this week, second time they are coming off a long break (bye week last week, Thurs. game the week before the first meeting)
2) In spite of other notes on this board suggesting there is no statistical advantage to the long break, Bills are 1-3 in these games. 2-2 leaves us in the playoff hunt.
Solution to playing teams off bye weeks seems simple enough, entire division gets a bye week, then plays division game the following week.
Bit more complicated for the Thursday nite thing but maybe coming off the bye week the division game is a Thursday nite game, then play the same team the following week, home and home scenario. I'm sure this has some flaws but it seems more fair.
