When the San Francisco 49ers schedule came out earlier this year there was something I and many of you were left scratching our heads on. A bye week in Week 4.
Huh?
Seemed a little early, didn’t it? It’s not like it was a new change. The Carolina Panthers and Washington were on bye in 2018 for Week 4. The 49ers just happened to get it this year. While it seems early, and we may have wondered if a bye in Week 4 is really necessary, it turns out this was the time to have it.
