NFC West re-Shuffle

There is no way the Raiders move to the NFC. The AFC is the successor to the AFL and the AFL was basically founded by Al Davis. The Raiders were its premier team. Plus, their rivalries with K.C., San Diego, and Denver are 50 years old. So even if they move to L.A., they won't move to the NFC.

St. Louis is the most logical team to relocate - they were based in L.A. for many years and if you want to discuss fairness with travel, St. Louis has to travel from Missouri to the west coast 6 times a year.

Geographically, unless either St. Louis or Jacksonville relocates to California, it makes more sense for Dallas to move to the NFC West and St. Louis to move to the NFC East. But that won't happen given the NFC East divisional rivalries.

Ideally, Jacksonville would move to L.A. and join the NFC West and St. Louis should move to the AFC South. Indy and Tennessee are really close to St. Louis.

WHAT THE HELL! FOR A MNF GAME!? ?????

Buddy lives in STL. He said NO ONE goes to Rams games. Also, does the baseball game fall on the same day?

no it does not

Rams --> LA

Chargers --> LA

Raiders --> San Antonio

Jags ---> Arizona

Cardinals --> St Louis

Seahawks --> CFL

/thread

having the raiders out of the bay also means better options of NFL games on TV (when it's not the Niners game)

how is it 6 times a year? maybe this year with playing the afc west but thats once every 4 years. every year they have to make 3 trips out west for their divisional road games, thats the only year in year out guarentee

Evidently, he's calling Phoenix the West Coast.

Seriously though, the western division doesn't have to include the midwest. Teams in the North West, Northern Cal, Southern Cal and the Southwest makes sense for something called the Western division.

yeah some of the placements dont make sense. dallas in theory could be an nfc west team but their rivalry with the other nfc east teams is too much to pull them away. also find it funny the southern most team in the nfl doesnt even play in the south division (miami)

move the niners to LA. nobody goes to the games at Levis

It's time for Dallas to move on - if any team should be in a different division, it's them. The NFC South should be Dallas, New Orleans, Tampa Bay and Atlanta. The east should be Giants, Eagles, Native-American-Kill-Bounties and Carolina.

$7 here.

...and their fans moan and groan because Stan wants to move the team.

Niners, Seahawks, LA Rams and Cardinals makes the most sense - every team is in the West. You'd have Northwest, Northern Cal, Southern Cal and Southwest.

Again? They already have made this switch twice.
