I did a little research regarding how teams respond to the bye and here's what I found:
-Teams coming of their bye week have gone 10-8 (55% winning percentage)
-Teams in their second game after their bye have gone 10-4 (71% winning percentage)
-Teams who lost coming off the bye responded by going 4-1 the following week (80% winning percentage)
On paper I think we all thought we'd have a better chance of beating the Dolphins over the Bills. But now that we lost to the Dolphins combined with the Bills coming off a big win, I like our chances to win. We've all witnessed this team get up for all the "big" games, combine that with how angry Kyler was after the game and I think we actually win this one.
