rdelaney89 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Your proposal isn't bad at all. It will never happen because of Ravens/Steelers and Jets/Dolphins. There are so many NY fans that go to that division rivalry in Florida, lots of retired Jets fans in Florida. I don't think they'd make up the revenue from Jags/Dolphins.

tom cody Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I agree, there should be some tweaks to the divisions. Still, given the history I doubt you see any large type realignment in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I mean if we're looking at glaring geographical fallacies, then look at the Cowboys in the NFC "East" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be okay with the Dolphins bowing out of the AFCE with an overall winning record against the Pats and Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 I wholeheartedly agree here. And move the Chargers to Mexico City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigInBoys Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 We all know why the league will never move Dallas out of the nfc east, to preserve their ratings cash cow. The rest of the nfc is pretty perfect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockice_8 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I mean geographically it makes sense but I mean it's been like this for so long it won't change. Too many rivalry games between Jets/MIA and BAL/PIT to change now. Everything is done by private jets now a days and NE to MIA is like 2.5 hours or something so it's not too bad of a flight. It's not cross country flight or anything so I doubt anything changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 So we're moving Andrew Luck out of the AFC South? Yes, this is a good idea and the AFC should immediately realign based on division. Though I do think we'd be better off also swapping out the Texans with the Browns for the natural Browns-Titans and Cleveland-Jacksonville rivalries.

scar988 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If I were to do overall re-alignment, it'd be something like this: AFC East - Baltimore, New England, NJ Jets, Buffalo North - Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Cleveland South - Houston, Miami, Jacksonville, Tennessee West - Kansas City, Denver, LA Chargers, Oakland NFC East - Carolina, Washington, Philadelphia, NJ Giants North - Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago, Minnesota South - Dallas, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, New Orleans West - Arizona, Seattle, LA Rams, San Fran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigInBoys Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 One reason I like this idea is because it pairs two big markets in Miami and Houston in the AFC South. I feel like there's too much coverage of the Northeastern teams because they are in big markets, and this would help spread it a little better.

ET80 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 4 hours ago, scar988 said: I wholeheartedly agree here. And move the Chargers to Mexico City. I'm actually thinking - San Antonio was getting really excited over the thought of the Raiders in San Antonio. They'd probably get equally geeked over the Chargers, too. They're a passionate fanbase - they live and die for the Spurs, and they're really rallying behind their college programs such as UTSA. TV market is small, but no smaller than San Diego. Could still call them a "West" team, hypothetically. Would create a fun dynamic with the Cowboys and Texans. The Alamodome would be an ideal venue, better than StubHubTub. Thoughts?
