Ice bowl 67 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 I think we would struggle against you guys playing you twice a year as proven we have never won in Buffalo. I think we should take the Lions out and replace them with you guys.
Ice bowl 67 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 I seriously hope New England collapses so it opens the door for you guys or Miami. I hate the Patriots like you guys do.
I'm Spartacus Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Rust Belt Division: Buffalo / Cleveland / Pittsburgh / Detroit ????
87168 Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Rust Belt Division: Buffalo / Cleveland / Pittsburgh / Detroit ???? I always secretly wanted that haha
K D Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Ok but can we acquire Matt Stafford as part of the move?
Ice bowl 67 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Posted July 21, 2017 Heck you can have Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb too.
Captain Murica Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Rust Belt Division: Buffalo / Cleveland / Pittsburgh / Detroit ???? Geographically makes sense, also, realignment would be fun. NFC east can stay put, I still remember even though I was young the battle of the bays when Tampa was in the NFC north and the cardinals in the NFC east along with the colts in the AFC east.

billsfan_34 Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I always thought we should be in the AFC North. Doubt it would happen as Baltimore and Pittsburgh have become a nice rivalry. Geographically it makes sense and would be a really fun division.
Captain Murica Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Colts were in Baltimore when the AFC was created. That they were, but, they moved to Indy and still resided in the AFC East. I wasn't born yet when the colts were in Baltimore. Edited July 21, 2017 by Captain Murica
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I'll be honest, the division systems have some weird stuff in them. You get Dallas in the NFC East despite the fact that it's pretty far south and in the midwest. You have Indy in the AFC South when it's in the north half of the country. You get a grouping of the northest in the AFC east (Buffalo, NY, NE) and then the Phins to the south I'd be curious to see the conference redrawn by region, but my quick attempt just didn't work.

If you put Miami in the AFC South where they belong IMO, then who fills the void for the AFC East from the South? Indy should be more of an AFC North team so shifting them back into East makes no sense. Jax to the East is no different than Miami being in the East. Seems to me nothing is going to change anytime soon.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 I think we would struggle against you guys playing you twice a year as proven we have never won in Buffalo. I think we should take the Lions out and replace them with you guys. I am 💯 for this in hindsight on the condition it starts in 2001
JohnBonhamRocks Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Should be... AFCN: Steelers, Bengals, Colts, Browns AFCS: Texans, Jaguars, Dolphins, Titans AFCE: Patriots, Jets, Ravens, Bills AFCW: Broncos, Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders NFCN: Vikings, Packers, Lions, Bears NFCS: Cowboys, Falcons, Saints, Buccaneers NFCE: Giants, Eagles, Redskins, Panthers NFCW: Seahawks, 49ers, Rams, Cardinals Not too different, but more geographically correct, if keeping conferences.

Disagree. Buffalo is more a Great Lakes, rust belt city than it is North East, like Boston, New York and Baltimore. The "Rust Belt" division of Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Detroit, or Cincy is a fun, geographically easy idea that would get killer road trip rivalries. The winner each year could literally win 'the Rust Belt," a "once proud," "looked really cool in the 1960's" championship belt that would be passed along team to team every year. It fits so well on the highways I literally see no reason why the NFL should't do this. Realignment and relegation are sorely needed in this sport.
