I wasnt comparing the 2... I just said the bye weeks are important, not in the fact that the players are fatigued from cardio aspect, but rather... many players are playing w injuries, that are caused from the physical part of the game, something that does not apply to soccer nearly as much...
take Beanie Wells for example... the last 3 wks hes been listed as questionable or probable, cuz he has nagging injuries hes playing threw
the bye week will give him a extra wk to rest and heal up some
its 2 diff, things, football is sprinting... even 300lbs lineman are running sub 5 sec 40yrd times in the NFL... then crash into a 200+ lb man... its the culumative effects of that that cause sprains, strains, etc...
... injuries that can only fully heal by resting
plus the NFL players are so roided up and bigger than any rugby player... if steven jackson collided w any footballer, he would kill them instantly
