Other sports have a break in their season in the form of a full week off or whatever. Granted they play more games but as physically taxing. I agree 100% with this. Everyone gets the same bye, for the same week. Whether that's week 8 or week 9 or whatever. I believe it's not fair or equal parity, to give different byes all across the league.

No money to be made on an all out bye week. Also, on regards to the thread. There needs to be a way to see if it's statistically significant of what you are saying. You sorta just can't take a straight %. If we are going with rest as a factor, I think it would also be best to compare the net rest time of teams vs opponents and/or travel time. I haven't done math, but those could be significant and are in the same ballpark. Edited May 8, 2020 by Zalixar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I remember in 2015 we had a week 4 (or 5) bye, and BB did pick up on it and mentioned how it affects the overall season (you prefer them later due to injuries later), but we still made playoffs and went to AFCCG. But I thought it interesting that Bill felt the need to bring it up - it shows coaches dislike early byes for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should all be like 7-11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinSting Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Fins get the playoff nod, due to 3 weeks of Gang Green research from Nov 9 to Nov 29. Team they play before the bye week: Jets Team they play after the bye week: Jets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Bills made the playoffs 2 out of the last 3 years with a bye in week 6 both years. They missed in 2018 with a bye in week 11. Their bye this season is week 11. They’re doomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 You have a 37.5 chance of making the playoffs, period. As of this year it's up to 43.75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
