Every year before the season schedules are announced for my NFC Packers and AFC Raiders, I hope for the perfect
BYE Week position. You know. A
BYE In week 8 or 9. The half way point is about perfect for an opportunity to heal some injuries and start the second half of the season off at full throttle.
Every good team needs a well placed loss in the same way they need a well placed Bye Week.
A well placed
loss is as important as a well placed
bye week.
A bye week will allow your team to heal some body injuries, and give them a two week rest.
A well placed
loss during the season will allow your team to heal some mental injuries, like being too smug or have an uncritical satisfaction about being undefeated.... Thus... they re-focus on the basics.
6-1 is better for The Packers than 7-0
It is a check up from the neck up.
