Sorry, I know this is more personal, but I am pissed that when the NFL realigned more than a decade ago that the Bills stayed in the East. Ralphie (Owner) wanted to maintain his rivalries with NY, Miami and NE, but I think that is overrated and it is not really a rivalry when you a) can't compete, and b0 no other team gives a s*** about you. I think the natural fit would have been for the Bills with Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Cincy and the Ravens in the East with the Jets, Phins and Pats. The longest distance travel time for the Bills would be Cincy, which would still be the shortest distance traveling time in comparison with any team in the East. Well, to turn this into a question thread (given also what the NHL is thinking for 2012-2013): do any of you wish your sports teams were in another division?  |

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. I love the Bills in the East. The Dolphins/Bills had quite the rivalry for a long time. I don't understand why the Bills have lost the ability to compete. 4 super bowls in a row has never been done. I also like the Steelers/Ravens rivalry. If you switched with anyone it would have to be Cincy for me to allow it.  |

I agree with your concept Buck. But I would hate to give up Pittsburgh v Baltimore twice a year. That is some of the hardest hitting football you will get to watch.

I say put 4 of the worst overall teams in the same division...then at least one could make the playoffs. Like the NFC West with a 7-9 team making the cut with Home Field. So let's make a division with Cleveland, Buffalo, Cincy, and maybe Miami.
OK, I am kidding. But imagine what that division would look like after 16 games...?

If you switched with anyone it would have to be Cincy for me to allow it. Our owner is 92 years old. I hate to be an ageist with respect to this but a 92 year old should not be running anything, let alone a billion dollar corporation. Mud...your idea intrigues me...  Oh Seth don't worry I know you are kidding about that, b/c the Bills were 2-2 against your division last year and the Steelers and Ravens were so dominant against the Bills that they both needed overtime to beat them. ...but yes, we are not a very good football team at all. Someday...please. |

What do you mean old people shouldn't run football teams. Al Davis has been running the Raid...... Wait. Nevermind.

I still remember the Seahawks going with that crazy record and the Saints BLOWING it. Sad panda. |

LOL @ Al Davis. He is the worst.
I know a lot of Bills fans share your disgust of that owner as well. I'm not a huge fan of the Panthers owner either. He has cut payroll for 3 years preparing for the lockout. I can't stand him.

It seemed like he was cutting expenses to make the team more attractive. ...such BS and horrible thing to do to the Carolina fans. |
