What To Do During The Buffalo Bills Bye Week

This might be one of the saddest weeks of the football season. It's the Bills' bye week. So what should you do to fill the time?

It's the one week of the season that Bills fans dread. It's bye week. The Bills will not be playing this weekend. Instead, they'll (hopefully) be laying low and resting their bodies for what will undoubtedly be a long season. They get to spend some time with their families and just prepare themselves for what's to come.

But, what do we do? We plan out every weekend depending on the Bills' schedule. Can we go shopping this Sunday? Not if the Bills are playing at 1. Can you drop the kids off at practice on Monday night? Nope, not when they're playing a Monday Night Football game.

However, this weekend, we don't have to worry about any of that. We are free to do whatever needs to get done. So here is a list of things you might want to check off before next weekend when the Bills are back home.

1. Put that patio set away - I know, it's not very fun, but it's a good thing to get out of the way so that next week, you don't have it hanging over your head as the weather just gets colder and colder. Get all those outdoor chores done.

2. Up your snack game - You've got a snack that you've been hoping to try out for the next game, but you don't want to just TRY it out on someone. This is the weekend to cook it and work out any kinks before guests come over.

3. Watch the other AFC East games - Sure, the Bills are off, but that doesn't mean that you can't watch football. The Patriots play the Thursday night game, so they won't be playing on Sunday either. But you can check out the competition at the lower end of the division as the Jets take on the Dolphins.

4. Take that trip you've been wanting to take - You keep putting it off because you want to be home for the game, but this weekend, you've got nothing holding you back. It's a perfect weekend for a fall trip.

5. Do something with your kids - What a great weekend to take the kids fall camping! You don't even have to get up and rush out on Sunday because there's no game to rush home for. It's perfect!
