The problem is that the other 31 teams are also independently competing against each other. Although one team may feel stung by "misfortune" at the time, the 30 remaining teams are busy working on their next opponent. They are too busy to worry about what just happened to a division rival who is also competing for limited playoff spots. Hence, it is very difficult to get critical mass for any type of action. The NFL, always protecting the shield, is also reticent to look too hard because they never want to hurt the bottom line. A loss to the Patriots is one thing. A loss financially is on a completely different level.
