Yeah I got screwed!
A few ideas for next season:
1) Ending the regular season week 13, and having the Final moved to week 16.
2) To compensate for the lost week, eliminate one non-division game. Furthermore, have each team's 5 non-divisional games be played entirely against one other division. The divisional pairings rotate every three seasons.
3) Keep teams in the same division, year after year. The only exception being newly promoted teams replacing recently relegated managers. This further stokes rivalries and bolsters the importance of divisional matchups.
Finally,
4) I propose the potentially vacated week 17 slot be used for a Pro Bowl! This could be a good way to get everyone involved at the end of the season and serve as a fun capstone. The basic gist would be, each division submits a roster compromised of any players on their teams. The four divisions either play head to head to head to head, or we could have two games (perhaps pairing the divisions that played each other during the regular season). Ultimately, the division winner would be in charge of submitting the finalized lineup. Week 17 still presents its challenges with resting players and wacky team motivations, but it should be lessened with the deep benches. Scoring would have to be done manually, but that's easy.
Edit: we could even make it a two week thing. Week 16 features the individual final and the Divisional Pro Bowl semifinal...with Week 17 being the Pro Bowl final.
