I know this would never happen, but it would be so much better.

 

The four division thing isn't working.  This year, an, at best, 8-8 (4-2) team will make it with the possibility of an 11-5 team not making it.

 

One problem, is less than half the games are inter-divisional.

 

If i were the NFL, I'd add 4 teams and go back the three divisions per conference.  That would give each team 10 divisional games.  Have the 3 division winners and 3 wild cards make the playoffs

 

Add two teams to LA, one in San Antonio, and one in Las Vegas.

 

AFC West - LA (1), Oakland, San Diego, Denver, San Antonio, Kansas City

AFC Central - Houston, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh

AFC East - Tennessee, NY Jets, Buffalo, Miami, New England, Jacksonville

 

NFC West - LA (2), Seattle,San Francisco, Arizona, St. Louis, Las Vegas

NFC Central - Minnesota, Green Bay, Chicago, Detroit, Tampa Bay, New Orleans

NFC East - Washington, Philadelphia, NY Giants, Dallas, Atlanta, Carolina

Better to put Tennessee in the east and Baltimore in the Central.

 

Can't break up the Bengals / Steelers / Browns / Ravens

 

Same with Dallas - they need to stay in the East, so put St. Louis back in the West, and put Tampa back in the Central where they started

And the Dolphins would still crap the bed in December and fail to make it in.

I don't like this trend:

 

'72 14-0 won the SB

 

'82 7-2 lost the SB

 

'92 11-5 lost in AFC Championship

 

'02 9-7 missed the playoffs

 

'12 7-9 missed the playoffs

Only problem now is what do you do in 3 years when both LA teams want to move?
