I kind of like the idea of the geographically based Divisions, based on the fact as a panthers fan, the skins, ravens, and eagles dont worry me too much. I think we'd destroy a division with those teams and us.

This is all theoretical by the way

I believe it makes more sense. The Chargers, Raiders, San Fran , and Seahawks make a lot more since than including the Rams.

The (LA) Rams and the 49ers were big rivals during the 1980s. The NFL wants to keep rivalries in the same division. It's why the NFCE will always have Cowboys-Giants-Eagles-Skins

That completely blows, we would basically play the entire state of Florida. Anything that doesn't include us and the Saints is invalid.

Death toll in New York and San Fransisco Bay? 300 dead four times a year.

Any map that has us playing Maryland and Pennsylvania teams instead of teams from the south is a faulty map. Regional rivalries trump national geography. If you discount rivalries, my ideal realignment would be:

Great Lakes Division - GB, MIN, CHI, DET

Mid-Atlantic Division - BAL, PIT, PHI, WAS

Mid-West Division - STL, IND, CIN, CLE

Northeast Division - BUF, NYG, NYJ, NE

Southeast Division - ATL, CAR, TEN, JAX

Southwest Division - ARI, DEN, KC, DAL

Sun Belt Division - HOU, NO, TB, MI

West Coast Division - OAK, SF, SD, SEA

I think this would more accurately portray regional and/or cultural geography, which would lead to shorter travel and better rivalries. All Northeast teams would be together, as would the mid-atlantic. The toughest thing to get around is the huge swath of mountain west land the NFL doesn't touch, but linking them to Texas and Missouri makes sense - in contrast, you can basically divide the midwest however you want. Additionally, the NC/GA/TN cultural region would be linked with Jacksonville, a conservative city. The Sun Belt is the biggest stretch but linking all the Gulf-area teams seems fair.

As long as we somehow get bunched in with the jaguars, I'm good.

Saints & Falcons would have it made

The Falcons would play the entire state of Florida according to that map.
