The Irrelevant Off Week

Hello. Why does the NFL have an off-week between the championship games and the Super Bowl? It's something I cannot figure out.
Some people may say the players have a chance to heal. Too bad. They already had that chance by getting a bye week if they were in the top 2 in their conference. Why keep us all waiting while a few guys get rested? For each of those guys needing the rest, there are a least as many who will suffer from getting rusty.
Some may also say the coaches have a chance to better prepare. Again, too bad. They prepare in one week for almost all their other games. And if I'm a good executive, I have scouts watching the other conference games to get prepared for the eventual opponent.
What other reasons are there for an extra week? Media Day? It's irrelevant if a media outlet sends a person to it, because they won't get close enough to the players people want to hear from anyway. It will all be said by everyone else in their broadcasts too, so who cares?
The Super Bowls I've enjoyed the most have been the ones with only a week in between. I hope the NFL reviews this policy. The Super Bowl usually cannot match the hype. Nothing could. It's time to reduce the hype by having only one week of it.
