Take the bye anyday. We may play lousy after a bye, but we will be playing in the jungle. That would make a huge difference.

agreed.

If it keeps us from going to Gillette in January Im all for it. The top two seeds are going to be interesting in the AFC, it may just come down to when the Broncos play the Cheaters.
I'd take the bye in a heartbeat. Even if we were to lose in the divisional round, at least we got an extra week of excitement to enjoy the fact that our team is in the postseason.

If we had a bye a year ago, AJ Green is most likely back as well as a few others.
I will take the bye every time to heal.
I also think we beat a very good team in a playoff atmosphere yesterday and that was on the road.
