Oh my God. I don't even know what to say.

You honestly believe that the 7-8-1 Panthers from 2014 were a more deserving playoff team than the 10-6 Eagles (who beat those same Panthers 45-21?)

 

Or the 8-7-1 Packers in 2013 instead of the 10-6 Cardinals? You don't think maybe the 10-6 Jets last year would have been better in the playoffs than that 30-0 stinker Houston put up against KC?

Albuquerque isotopes? That's a deep Simpsons reference there....

 

I was hoping someone would get that one

and you think by realigning the divisions you are going to fix that?

Good point and regarding expansion....there aren't enough good QBs in the league right now......expansion will make this even worse

I don't disagree.... but it is coming. By 2026 there will be more than 32 NFL teams.

After last night and the way the season is inevitably headed, I think it is time for a change. Let's switch with Baltimore and let Miami go with the Southern division. We would then have Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Cincinnati twice a year and be rid of the Patriots!

 

 

Hey, maybe they would even call it the "rust belt" division, or something like that!

 

This is a great idea, Mr. Van Winkle.

 

This thread is so...fresh!

So rather than play NE twice a year, you want to play Baltimore, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh twice a year?? Good logic... We've endured 15+ years of Brady, and just about the time hes out the door, you want to deal with Flacco, Dalton, and Ben

 

yeah, the AFC North is no joke!!

 

We can't cover Decker and Marshall with Fitz throwing it. Going to be something when Ben, AB, L. Bell, etc. roll in here if the D is not fixed fast.

Do it by geography to maximize visiting ticket sales and keep time-zones aligned for tv purposes:

 

EASTERN CONFERENCE
North: Pats, Bills, Jets, Giants

South: Dolphins, Bucs, Jags, Saints

WESTERN CONFERENCE
East: Bengals, Colts, Bears, Lions
