The 49ers have injuries piling up, left, right and really at center, so of course this is a great time for the bye week. Naturally the team leaves out the part about having momentum built up having been on a winning streak and boasting one of the best records in the NFL. That part is unsurprisingly omitted because in that respect, the bye week did not come at the right time.

Let’s face it, when teams start winning, they don’t want to stop. They most certainly don’t want to start when they are just gaining confidence, but heck the injuries were piling up, so the bye week did indeed come at just the right time.

Had the team’s bye week come in week one, they would have also said that it came at just the right time. It would give the team an extra week to evaluate their first opponent, who would have the disadvantage of having no film from the new season to study from two weeks in row. Then too would the bye week have come at just the right time.
