Much faster than last year for sure. I think the problem is The whole end of the season leading into the offseason, draft, and then preseason. during the 3 main weeks, we go through 4 games per team, with 4 matchups in the NSFL and 3 matchups in the DSFL, for a total of 28 games a week. then the last week it is cut down to 2 games per team, which is 14 games a week, which isnt bad. Then the playoffs, which is 3 games NSFL and 3 games DSFL. then we wait a couple days for the draft, then we have a week of preseason.
week 1 - 28 games (preseason)
week 2- 28 games
week 3 - 28 games
week 4 - 28 games
week 5 - 14 games
week 6 - 6 games
week 7 - 2 drafts
we can see how it progressively gets less busy as we go along the season. we have 3 weeks of awesome activity and 3 weeks where we have barely any games, only to be greeted by meaningless games for another week. It is necessary though because HO needs some sort of break and we need to get ready for the drafts. Maybe combine weeks 13-14 with the Playoffs? That might help eliminate a week, but also be really hectic during that period and all of the season for GMs and HO.
