The NFL will never move Dallas out of the NFC East.

Meh, compared to old insanity of having the Phoenix Cardinals in the NFC East and the Falcons in the NFC West, today is nothing.

I like it. Should’ve happened years ago. Would’ve made the AFC East more competitive and the NFC south would be a more talked about div adding the Cowboys.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to throw Tampa in the AFC and Jacksonville in the NFC south? Tampa and Miami could be the in state rivals.
**** Florida has too many teams anyway. Just eliminate Tampa altogether and use the stadium as a garbage dump.
I do like the idea but it makes too much sense .

They need to make the teams per division larger...why does the league with the most teams play in only 4 team divisions? For example, NHL has 1 less team than NFL, but only has 4 divisions (and will probably stay at 4 when Seattle enters in a couple years).

I get how the #'s balance out perfectly which is probably the reason..but I'd rather four, 5 team divisions and a couple 6 teamers to keep the division champion calibre a little more respectable.

I debated this on yahoo recently and they need to go back to 3 division conferences.

The problem why the division realignment never worked back in 01 was they wanted to keep some teams together due to being big rivals, one of the biggest was the NFC East, hence Dallas being more South or West than East geographically. They did the same with the AFC East 3 of the 4 teams is driving distance from each other, Miami sets far south, maybe east coast, but far south and far away Patriots, Bills, and Jets.

I think this mess is more the reason why the Rams went back to L.A. to, they were way out halfway across the country from all other NFC West rivals, not just trying to boost the L.A. market which they were part of before.

You could shuffle teams from the AFC to the NFC and vice versa, but 4 teams in each division is perfect.

The Dude

I agree. Like the 4 game system. Don’t want to see us play the same teams any more than I see them now. Just realign the whole NFL and break it up based on location. Do whatever you can to keep the NFC and AFC separated as they are now but with a little tweaking.

SmashMouth

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.
