Absolutely sucks. And games played one week after the championship round are usual close, except for last year of course.
I understand the benefit from the players perspective because the experience is so overwhelming and making arrangements for family and friends takes a lot of time.
But two weeks off means one entire week of analyzing last weeks games, no football this weekend, yet we will still have to deal with the hyperbole of "superbowl week" before the game even starts.
