NFL Divisions Need Realignment

SmashMouth · 12-07-2019, 09:21 AM

If you're going to realign, just have two groupings, AFC and NFC.

Best records win out, including head to head matchups. Rivalries remain and new ones develop. And the schedule could be more interesting since it all likelihood, the teams don't play each other twice... unless they meet in the playoffs.

I think that would take the fun out of it.

Someone somewhere will spend more time on the road and God forbid it's Dallas!

Just change the name of the divisions if everyone is hung up on geography.
Does the distance in the Dallas-Wash and Dallas-Phil rivalries hurt the rivalry? No.
Are Dallas and Houston big rivals for us? Does Atl care about the four teams closer to them than us?
It ain't broke, so...

Like everyone has mostly stated, the NFC east rivals are too big. Especially since that the division is the only one in which all teams have at least 1 SB.

Three teams will be moving making locale division reassignment premature:

Raiders are already scheduled to move to Las Vegas
Chargers are in an untenable stadium situation in Los Angeles
Jaguars are rumoured as the London relocation candidate

I really hope they don’t put a team overseas.

If they do they need to do 4 to form an own division, so 6 games become shorter to travel.

I can understand Mexico or Canada but not all the way in England. I wouldn’t even advocate for a team in Hawaii.
