Internet decries extra rest for 49ers in divisional round against Bucs or Cowboys

The NFL announced Sunday night the San Francisco 49ers will face the winner of tonight's Buccaneers-Cowboys game in the NFC divisional round in next Sunday afternoon's 3:30 p.m. window.

And the internet is already mad about it.

Notorious reply guys, NFL pundits and former players took to Twitter over the weekend to decry a competitive advantage for the Niners, who will get a little more than two days' extra rest by virtue of playing in the Saturday morning window while their opponent plays Monday evening of wild card weekend.
