In reply to: What evidence is that that byes help posted by sprack
I actually think byes are more helpful after big games than before them. You’re often physically beat up, and mentally (no matter whether it’s a win or a loss, but for different reasons) it can take a few days for you to get back into fully-prepared mode in the days following a big game. But most people talk about the benefit of a bye before the game rather than afterwards.
