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 .

Dude, Tampa Bay Bucs have the No. 12 television Market in the country!

New Orleans is only 50th, and overall the smallest...

Green Bay's market is smaller than New Orleans, but Milwaukee-Green Bay, their actual TV market, is No. 20...

But I do like the idea of moving Miami to the AFC South, moving the Colts to the AFC North, and the Ravens to the AFC East; only rivalry affected is the Steelers-Ravens, but there's still Steelers-Browns, so no biggie...

Always thought Dallas should've been moved the the NFC South with Carolina taking its spot in the NFC East, but NFL didn't want to lose the Cowboys-Redskins rivalry, but that is practically dead now...

Speaking of, The Best Rivalries in the NFL:

Chicago Bears vs Green Bay Packers
New Orleans Saints vs Atlanta Falcons
San Francisco 49ers vs Los Angeles Rams
Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants
New England Patriots vs New York Jets
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns

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.

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.
