Yet another "bye" team

[irish]

I think the NFL is out to screw the skins.

...and Dallas Sucks...
Sorry, I lost my head there for a minute.

It is a little crazy, but the skins do have 3 consecutive home games so that kind of makes up for it.

can't do anything about it. coming off a bye isn't always a good thing though.

Here it is. I made this up and it took about an hour. I used NFL.com's schedule page
But because they don't show who was home or away for past games this season, I had to also use Fox sports schedule page aswell. The format is as follows, Team initials followed by what week that team had to play a game with the opponent coming off a bye followed up with the team they played and if the game was played at home or away and finally if the team won or lost. Week 8 is the only time that 2 teams play each other while both are coming of the bye. Just to clarify. if you look at Baltimore on line 1 you see BAL=Baltimore W4=Week4 SDG=Against San Diego H=Baltimore plays at home W=Baltimore Wins.

Dallas and the Skins are the only teams with 3 games they play against a team coming off the bye. The Skins are the only team that has multiple games being played against teams coming off the bye that these games are all played away.

thanks schedule gods for giving us all these teams coming off a bye.

[Brute44]

Not to take anything away from Dallas and the 3 teams that they have to play off of the bye but come on, Houston, US, and Arizona. I think Arizona will give Dallas a run for their money though.

Bye or no bye, you have to execute. The Skins have not played well this year, so I don't give a lot of thought to the whole Bye thing. The only thing it helps is to get some guy's well. I loved the fact that the Skins were going to have a Week 8 Bye this year, but they have not played well enough to do anything yet. so it hasn't mattered.
