All those scenarios SUCK. And the only reason for them is because we have teams that don't put up 100% each and every week. It makes me sick.

-Shorter season, but not # of games. More teams get in playoffs, so two more teams would have a longer season, BTW.
-It is for 1 week and should be against non-divisional opponents. Yet it does not disrupt competitive balance like a Toilet Bowl does.
- Week 17 playoffs can be avoided, with 1 week of double headers.
- So what makes teams not trying each every single week? If until Joel's admitted tanking is the only thing you guys want to fix then... Jake's suggestion of league wide vote is the best solution. If it is improving competitiveness as a whole... playoff expansion + lottery is the best way
- I don't have a problem with improving competitiveness (beyond starting your best line up).... that is why I have brought forth the playoff expansion + lottery. However, I do have a problem with sacrificing bad teams from getting good picks like a Toilet Bowl or extra balls does. We're on the same page as far as improving league wide... and that's what you are threatning of leaving the league for... teams not trying. Playoffs expand + lottery will make teams try.
