my 2 cents - i know its unpopular but i actually like the playoffs going in weeks 15-17. everyone knows teams rest guys, build your team accordingly. i also think that byes for the top 2 in a 6 team playoffs suffices but i'm not going to complain if we throw a few bucks to the points total regular season winner. again, i think it adds a little complexity when you have to build your roster to do well in the late weeks of the season either by trades or the waiver wire, once you think you're going to be there in the end. if stuff like rodgers being shut out by the bears fucks up your team, then its bad luck. i know its not the case in this situation but i thought the packers were going to kill the bears, score early and then run the rest of the way anyways. this happens sometimes, brees had some real clunkers against shitty teams this year, it happens. the playoffs are somewhat of a crapshoot but i think that if we minimize it to 6 teams (especially if we go 12 team league next year) and give the top 2 a round 1 bye, we're doing enough for the top 2 teams. luck always plays some part in fantasy but for the most part, done like this instead of how we're doing it this year which is pretty dumb, whoever builds the best team for the playoffs will win the league, and maybe they'll get a little luck to do so, but they guessed right when putting in that line up as to who was going to get that luck.
Life is a bitch, but she's totally doable.
