Tuggle'2 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I would write angry letters everyday, unless they made it so that we play the Saints every year regardless of schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdbrain24 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Our current division looked good too back when we changed from the West and away from the 49'ers : But 13 years later , Saints and Bucs have the rings too show!!!and O yeah the Panthers have 4 South titles and 1 Super Bowl apperance in there shorter history of a franchise. We can keep moving but you still have to win the games on the field. Edited June 14, 2015 by birdbrain24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lornoth Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I would write angry letters everyday, unless they made it so that we play the Saints every year regardless of schedule.Amen, any schedule that doesn't let us beat up the Ain'ts each and every year, preferably twice, is no good with me.

Tuggle'2 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Amen, any schedule that doesn't let us beat up the Ain'ts each and every year, preferably twice, is no good with me.Yeah man, like 90% of my 30+ years watching this team I only had the Saints games to look forward to. If they took those way I would flip out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperbh Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I've got this.Get out of the 60's and scrap the conferences. Division opponents play each other twice per year. Regional opponents (North, South, West and Central) play each other once per year. Eight division winners + four wildcard teams meet in the playoffs; seeding based on record. Last team standing gets the Lombardi.For those who always wanted to see a Brady/Manning Super Bowl, there ya go.Or, if it's not going to be done right, just leave it alone. The current structure is certainly not broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I know they say you can't move the Cowboys out of the NFC East because they've played there since they began play in 1960 (which never made sense in the first place since they were in the west at the time when compared to other teams) but screw that. The Cowboys need to be in a southern division. The regions idea isn't bad. I'll take a page out of the NHL's recent realignment and go to fewer divisions instead of more.SOUTHAtlanta FalconsCarolina PanthersJacksonville JaguarsMiami DolphinsNew Orleans SaintsTampa Bay BuccaneersTennessee TitansEASTBaltimore RavensNew England PatriotsNew York GiantsNew York JetsPhiladelphia EaglesPittsburgh SteelersWashington RedskinsWESTArizona CardinalsDenver BroncosOakland RaidersSan Diego ChargersSan Francisco 49ersSeattle SeahawksMIDWESTDallas CowboysGreen Bay PackersHouston TexansKansas City ChiefsMinnesota VikingsSt. Louis RamsNORTHBuffalo BillsChicago BearsCincinnati BengalsCleveland BrownsDetroit LionsIndianapolis ColtsI came up with 5 divisions, 3 with 6 teams and 2 with 7 teams. Play each team twice in your division and then fill in the rest of the schedule with randomly selected teams.12 teams with the best record make the playoffs. First tiebreaker is head-to-head, next tiebreaker is points differential.PLAYOFF MATCHUPS1. First Round Bye2. First Round Bye3. vs. 10.4. vs. 9.5. vs. 86. vs. 7.Seeds 1-6 are home teams.I don't think it's perfect but I actually like it and think it would spice things up and give us a better Super Bowl and a more perfect champion.

texasfalconfan Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Crazy realignment does not make sense. I could see a swap of Indy to the afc east and Miami to the afc south. That would make sense. Obviously if the raiders and chargers end up in la one team would have to go to the nfc. I could see one swap with the st Louis Rams o Arizona Cardinals to fix that. That would be about all I could see happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Miami was kept in the East for the same reason the Cowboys were kept in the East. They said that those rivalries were too important to lose and as a result we ended up with the silliness of having the Colts in the South and the Chiefs and Rams in the West.

Ghosts of Glanville Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'd like to see:1). Swap Tampa and Tennessee;2). Swap Indy and MiamiThat puts the colts in the AFC East, and creates these two south divisions:Atlanta New Orleans TennesseeCarolinaMiamiTampa bayJaxHoustonOne Florida-based division and one that kinda mirrors southern college rivalries.
