Bye week. For many fans, it's the worst 2 words in sports because it means that their team doesn't have a game. And for the Black and Red faithful, it was a weekend without watching our team take the pitch against another. In fact, there were 4 teams who were idle this past weekend: D.C. United, Montreal Impact, the New York Red Bulls, and the Colorado Rapids. For the rest, it was a weekend where some favorites stumbled and a couple teams used the opportunity to make an early statement. Blas Perez put on the show of the weekend, but it's still the LA Galaxy and the Seattle Sounders at the top. Which teams made a statement to you? Which teams should have considered having a bye week along with United? Hit the comments to give your take!

Losing to San Jose gives them the bump down, but still one of the better teams.

Got rocked by a good Dallas team. Will the real SKC show up to play?

I still think they're better, but until they can prove it, they drop out of the top 10.

It seems each game for them is going to be a struggle this season.

You can't move out of the cellar if you don't play.
