As cliche as it is, coming out of this bye week is going to be a huge test. Time off, needing to make a statement that we can play at home, etc.

Going 4-3 in all the 7 game segments isn't enough to get you to the playoffs as it puts you at 88 points with 5 games remaining. So you are right that if you are going into the final 5 games where you lost two of 7 game segments puts you at best around 84 points going into the final 5 games. You no longer control your destiny at that point.
The key is banking those points in the 7 game segments so you can recoup from a lost segment, if needed, or more importantly push that 88 points higher prior to the final 5 games.
