2041 Realignmnet

[James-Eagles]

As long as Jerry and I can have our annual battle, you can put me in any division you want. Ha!

We could reunion the division from hell but instead of William have Justin. lol

[Steve-LA Chargers]

I hope everyone understands that I am going to go with the most simple approach.
I have no intention of getting too frisky here.

Steve, pretty sure the game is hard coded to have 4 teams in the East and 5 in the West.
There is no way that I know to change that.

I won't decide this till after we cut down.

With the realignment utility, you can simply rename the 5 team divisions as the East divisions and move the 5 east coast teams there. That would be the only way.

[Steve-LA Chargers]

I will resign if we go with this model.

Why? If you don't like something actually give reason. Just saying you will resign adds nothing to the discussion. If there is something you feel that strongly about say it. I would like it to be taken into account.

If this is about me calling out yours. Then point out what is wrong with what I said.

Simple it wasn't balanced. It looked way too forced to look like the NFL. We haven't looked like the NFL since the 2007 season.

At this point we are getting no where. I say it is simple really two options here.

1. Just flip me and Dean
2. Do Jerry's idea.

I believe it was the AFC teams that were complaining about how AFC was too hard. Ask Mitch how fun is it to have Jerry and me in your division. I have no problem building my team and then showing the AFC West it wasn't really that hard to begin with.

Why would I ever resign? I haven't won a title yet. Damn Jets keep getting in my way. It was tongue in cheek. The bear (or Lion) was clearly poked

[Steve-LA Chargers]

I like my rivals and things. There is no reason in my opinion to worry about a full reorg and balance is an illusion I think. I like the KISS principle. We have two open teams and Dean wants back in the NFC. That is all that matters I think. Why not leave the rest as static as possible?

Agreed. But Indy wants to be in the AFC. Should be swapping Indy and Atlanta and leaving the rest as is.

[Matt-Jacksonville]

While we’re throwing off the wall ideas out there…

Why don’t we let the owners whose teams had the four worst records “draft” their division foes for the following season?

I wouldn't have a problem with this. Do a snake draft and let the team last picked make the pick.

I am actually curious how it would turn out. Let do it just for funny.

Indy is on the clock

We could do this a fun "what if" thing with no implications on what Rich ultimately decides to do. Someone want to start a new thread?

[Matt-Jacksonville]

Swap Atlanta and Green Bay
Swap Indy and Cincinnatti

?

[Matt-Jacksonville]

Rename Green Bay to Denver in that scenario and you maintain a bit of competative balance and help a little bit with Geography.

[Steve-LA Chargers]

My previous ideas were based on the assumption that Dan was still coaching Cincy.

With Cincy now open, I'm in favor of moving an active coach in Indy to the AFC East (so the Jets don't get the bonus of playing an open team), moving Cincy (renamed to KC or Denver) to the AFC West, and moving Atlanta to the NFC East.

That works and if Rich wants to follow the "KISS" rule on realignment, that would be the way to do it.

[Mitch-Oilers]

If you move an open team to Denver, plus use the old Orange Crush uniforms.
