DigInBoys Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 There's several teams that appear very out of place geographically speaking. I think these teams need to be moved: Miami, Indianapolis, and Baltimore. It should be: AFC East: Buffalo New England Baltimore NY Jets AFC North: Pittsburgh Cleveland Cincinnatti Indianapolis AFC South: Houston Tennessee Miami Jacksonville AFC West: No Changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 what are the chances the league would ever even consider a realignment? they seem to like the current alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmad Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 As a ravens fan I'd be kinda upset with that. Losing to the patriots twice a year would suuuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinderFournette Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 The league wont realign. League probably doesn't wanna lose the ravens-steelers matchup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biletnikoff Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 the teams are divided for other reasons that have nothing to do with region. They want certain teams to not cancel out other teams for playoff spots. its why they made 4 divisions. Indi and Pitt will never be in the same division although I would like to see them schedule games regardless of division or what ever, every year..like in State rivalries or regions or historic Steelers v Eagles Ravens v Redskins Miami-Tampa- Jaguars Dallas v Chiefs-Texans Redskins v Chiefs lol Rams vs Browns.Rams started in Ohio Cardinals vs Bears.. Cards started in Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footbull3196 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 This idea actually makes a ton of sense geographically, but highly doubtful it ever happens. I've always thought that having Indianapolis in the AFC South sounded stupid, but let's be honest here, where else is there realistically room for them to go or switch with another team?

Hunter2_1 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I think it could work. Lose Ravens/Steelers but a Patriots/Ravens rivalry is already kind of a thing. We've knocked each other out of the playoffs. You'd have the battle of Florida in Jags/Dolphins. I'm sure we could find some farming or steel work analogy for the Indianapolis/Pitts/Cleveland alignment. I like it @DigInBoys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danand Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If it should be sorted geographically, we should realign all divisions, and it would look something like this imo: Div 1 – Patriots, Jets, Giants, Bills Div 2 – Eagles, Ravens, Redskins, Stoolers Div 3 – Bungels, Browns, Colts, Lions Div 4 – Packers, Vikings, Bears, Chiefs Div 5 – Panthers, Falcons, Titans, Rams Div 6 – Dolphins, Jaguars, Bucs, Saints Div 7 – Cardinals, Broncos, Cowboys, Texans Div 8 – Hawks, 49’ers, Raiders, Chargers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 No thanks, I like the divisions as they are now. Too much fun rivalries with fellow AFC East fans. Would be pretty annoyed if they did that. Besides, it's hard to argue against Miami from being in the AFC East. Just because the other three are north-east, doesn't mean we're not East. Besides if you want to complain about divisions making no sense, the NFC East is far worse. Dallas is by no means "East". Could be easily swapped with Atlanta or Tampa Bay to make those divisions make more sense, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse326 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 We get posts like this at least twice a year. When will people realize geography is only part of the equation. Historical rivalries matter. Natural rivalries from some shared history matter. Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXsteeler Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 There is no real reason for something like this to happen. I am however interested in where the other 2 games would come from in an 18 game season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
