Default AFC Divisions

I always thought it was really stupid that Baltimore is in the AFC North and Indy is in the AFC South. If anything, it should be the other way around. Better yet, put Baltimore in the AFC East, ship Miami to the AFC South, and put Indy in the AFC North.

Thoughts? I'm just tired of talking about the normal stuff today.

Indy is in the AFC South because Polian wanted it that way. Instead of facing Pittsburgh and Baltimore, Defensive powerhouses with Sb aspirations, or the Dolphins, Pats and Jets every year, in what was at the time the toughest division in football, he wanted his pass happy team in a division with 3 warm weather clubs, 2 bumbling expansion clubs and one small market renegade in Tennessee.

I hope when LA and another city gets a franchise, they'll look at the way the divisions are set up and change them around. Bye-Bye Miami. Hope you like the AFC South. Hello Baltimore.

Here's to hoping.

Everything there is factual. If you don't like reality, try narcotics.

Isn't Pats/Fins kind of a big tradition? Same reason why the Cowboys are in the NFC East. Carolina should be in the east and the Cowboys in the South.

Usually Miami beats us once a year, in Miami.

I'd like to rekindle the rivalry we had with Pittsburgh again. I know we've played alot (5 games in 4 years and one next year) but it'd be nice to see that slugfest twice a year.

That ain't gonna happen, cuz the Stains and Pitt have a huge rivalry, and the Stains and Bungles have a huge rivalry. The Ravens should play the Colt's twice a year......hehe. Sunday, Bloody Sunday.

The AFC South would be cool as: Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, Colts, Ravens.
