Isn’t everyone tired of playing NY,Phil and Wash every year twice ? They suk and horrible venues to attend a game.Divisions and conferences are fine. What they need to do is get rid of the Sunday night, Monday night, and Thursday night games. Once everyone plays the same damn day the problems will be fixed.

I wanna travel to some of the cool road venues they’ve built. Where the elements aren’t a factor. I’m too old to deal with weather anymore.
IDK. I’m pretty tired of playing the same teams twice every year. I’d be for playing everyone in NFC and 1 team in AFC for 16 games. Then take the top 6 records into the playoffs.
Not bad. I’m for anything different pretty much.I am not normally one to change tradition just for change.
But I do think the division format now, as 4 divisions in each conference is too much. Go back to 3 divisions.
Then the 3 division winners, then the next 3 best records. Therefore a team that actually has a better record than a 8-8 division winner of a 4th division can get in the playoffs.
So the 3 divisions will eliminate that.
Yes, some division will have 6 teams. But this can allow expansion of 2 NFC and 2 AFC teams. Even though it waters down the product even more.
Maybe your idea would work, may be not, or heck, go 2 divisions, top teams in each division, then the next best 2 as WC. As it can still eliminate the 8-8 teams unless every team sucks. LOL.
I do like the play of AFC vs. NFC though of 4 games. So still rotate that, but play 1 game against 12 NFC teams, eliminate the twice against each other. Then the rotation comes around more often of seeing different teams, plus keeps the once in 4 years of seeing AFC teams.
We get entirely too emotional about our opponents. LolYeah sweeping the Birds last year sucked! So boring!
Hell no would I ever want that to change.
well since life isn't fair and football is a subset of life, it stands to reason it won't be fair either.Sick and tired about hearing how the game isn't "fair" enough. Overtime isn't "fair", schedules aren't "fair", opponents aren't "fair". Pretty soon each team will get half a win for a loss.
The Packers still get to play the Lions, Vikings and Bears 2 times every year. No way to make the schedule fair with divisionsI remember a few year ago, Philadelphia had one game outside of the Eastern time zone (Dallas). We set a record for fewest miles flown in the 32 team era. Always thought that was hilarious nobody noticed.
Edit: here it is

Our furtherest away teams were the Cardinals, Saints, Bucs, Dolphins... got them all as home games. Basically played everyone north of Atlanta and east of Detroit.

They will still find a way to screw Dallas.
they had to spend $100,000 in one drawing to win the money, that is still a big gamble and most ordinary folks dont haveSorry. It was Massachusetts not Wisconsin. There was a guy in Wis or Mich who also figured out this particular lottery in Massachusetts. Saw it on 60 minutes.

no teams get soft schedules , who they play is done very fairly, the only problem is when and where, like a team playing sunday nightI wonder if the stat guys looked into the pats schedule and compared it to other teams? My guess would be the Pats got a softer schedule than their other divisional teams
It actually wasn’t a gamble.they had to spend $100,000 in one drawing to win the money, that is still a big gamble and most ordinary folks dont have
anywhere near that to even try it. and they were just looking to collect on the small payouts, not the winner.
No. Those are our fiercest rivals, without rivals where would this game be.Isn’t everyone tired of playing NY,Phil and Wash every year twice ? They suk and horrible venues to attend a game.
