Or we just shorten the season by one game.  

Also, Lamar Miller is much better than he gets credit for.

I mean we could but 13 games a year sounds very unlucky.

He's no Peyton Barber.

The issue with adding a bye week is that right now each division has a completely balanced schedule as in every team in your division plays the exact same teams throughout the season. Eliminating a week would throw a wrench into that

You could have a 12 weeks regular season with 6 div games, 4 games against 1 div, and 2 games from the similarly ranked teams of other divisions. Pretty much like conference schedule in the NFL. That way you can get rid of week 17 and thanksgiving

This works but this also brings up the question(s) of how do we deal with injuries(If someone plays the week you're not playing but doesn't play the next week etc.) and should we cut games from the BDL schedule. 

Though it does make a lot of sense with November and December months always seeming to be the worst for activity.

Like it.

We've got divisions already laid out, so removing a single or more conf. games wouldn't be a big deal.  Would give us a nice break during the holidays and shorten the season, which is currently two too many imo.

We can always just move the writeup deadline for one week to Monday and it should solve the problem for the most part 

It's really that entire week that creates the problem.  This time of year, you've got family coming in from out of town, shopping, cleaning, entertaining, watching kids as they are out of school.

It just makes it so difficult for everyone to put the effort into BDL, especially during a time when these late season games hendge on if you make the playoffs, or a division rival getting a pass due to their opponent not providing a plan that week.

Several teams this week, myself included either weren't able to get their plan in on time, or simply posted a quick line or two.

Also, providing a bye week, gives everyone a much needed break.

I don't think the injury thing would be an issue.
