I don't want to speak for the person you were replying to, but I've always understood the logic behind having two weeks to prepare as more of a coaching/gameplan/scheme advantage.
You have an entre extra week to be able to break down film, and to design and install a gameplan. It allows you to really focus in on your oppenent.
Remember, in a typical week, a staff has to do this in a manner of days, and have it somewhat ready by the middle of week for practice, and then finalized by Friday's walkthrough. Adding 7 days to this process should, theoretically, give you a competitive advantage from an X's and O's standpoint.
