Unlike Rest of NFL, Green Bay Packers Usually Win After Bye Week
 

You'd think coming off their bye weeks NFL teams would be refreshed and well-rested, and easily cruise to wins over their tired and battered opponents. Well, you'd be wrong, unless you are thinking of the Green Bay Packers. The Packers (coming <a href="http://www.ralphlaurenpolo100.com/ralph-lauren-womens-polo-shirts-c-4.html"><strong>polo ralph lauren shirts</strong></a> off their bye week or we wouldn't write this story!) are 5-1 after their week off since the Mike McCarthy Era began and 13-9 overall since the bye week was invented&nbsp;according to the&nbsp;Hudson <a href="http://www.ralphlaurenpolo100.com/ralph-lauren-mens-sweaters-c-6.html"><strong>ralph lauren men</strong></a> Star-Observer&nbsp;in Hudson, Wisconsin.&nbsp;The overall league winning percentage in the first game back is just .526. This season the league record is 8-10.&nbsp;Teams often come out flat after their bye week; perhaps their routines are thrown off by having a relaxing time away from football thrown into the usual weekly grind. McCarthy said the only players who really benefit from the bye week are the injured ones -- they can get healthy and get back on the field. So will the Packers come out flat against the Chargers on Sunday? McCarthy is stressing fundamentals during practices <a href="http://inbookmark.com/mybookmark.php"><strong>cheap ralph lauren</strong></a> this week and scheduled an extra practice with pads, so he appears to be going to great lengths to avoid such a performance.
