"So, while the narrative tells you that a late bye week gets you ready for the playoffs and that an early bye week gives you the best chance to put up a gaudy record, my suspicion is that one has absolutely nothing to do with the other."

My own opinion is that the bye week can be lucky for a team. Dependent on the timing of injuries, not on how late the bye is.
