Should the NFL disband preseason?

Early bye stinks. Unless you've got a lot of late camp/early season injuries, you need that time more later in the season to heal up and watch film on the upcoming teams. By midseason, every game your opponents have played so far (and yours, too) has been taken apart by either coaching staff or the half dozen all-sports cable channels. Having a later season bye is much better. I think the off after 8 would work out better for all teams.
