PromoTheRobot Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Ralph Wilson felt the Miami rivalry was too valuable to give up. No disrespect to Ralph but that rivalry is long dead. I think the Bills now belong with the Steelers, Bengals and especially the Browns. Pittsburgh and Cleveland is just 3 hours away and Cinci is 6 hours. Fans of all teams could travel easily guaranteeing sellouts for everyone. Send the Ravens to the AFC East.

Manther Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Not saying this is wrong. But, a BUNCH of things need to happen before considering this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodbuster Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The ravens already have a pretty strong rivalry with NE. I could get behind this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans of all teams could travel easily guaranteeing sellouts for everyone. Send the Ravens to the AFC East. I am 100% behind this. I screamed for this to happen in re alignment but like you said Ralph wanted to keep dealing with Miami when NE clearly had become THE rival. All 4 would sell out games and fill each others stadiums. But it makes too much logical sense for the NFL to do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Pittsburgh or Baltimore give up that rivalry...one o, if not the best, in the the NFL over the last 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 My hatred for the Pats is just too overpowering. I want to stay in the division and smoke Brady before he retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Good idea , I'am in , closer means more sellouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KollegeStudnet Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) The league won't break up the Steelers-Ravens rivalry. I want to say, yes....but, based on results the NFL of today does things without fan approval. To PTR, Cleveland is an interesting fan base. Diehards just like us. Now, time is a major factor. Some Browns fans love the Baltimore rivalry....Some still feel the pain and just would like to move on. It would be interesting to send a question to Vic Carucci on this to see the Browns point of view. Edited May 10, 2014 by KollegeStudnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLEN1QB Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 no way I want to see the bills kick the crap out of New England for the next 20 years after Brady is going we deserve that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I haven't watched the Bills get their asses handed to them for a decade by Brady and Co. only to change divisions when Brady is about to retire. I want to have a decade of kicking the crap out of the Pats as payback. They'll soon find out it's not so easy once your HoF QB retires... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurmal34 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Geographically and demographically it makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 For real, I want to get back to those days where the Bills were schooling the likes of Bledsoe, Tony Eason, Steve Grogan, Scott Zolak, Hugh Millen, and other guys that practically no current Patriots fan could even name. I want Patriot blood. None of this re-zoning business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddenboy Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) I dont care. I just want to win the SuperBowl. I dont care who we have to go through. I will always hate Miami with every fiber of my being. That wont change no matter what division we're in. In fact, that wont change even if (shussh-yo-mouth) the Bills are no longer in the league. Hate runs deep. Edited May 10, 2014 by maddenboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The league won't break up the Steelers-Ravens rivalry. Indeed. And they shouldn't. They are highly entertaining games that pull big ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUffalo Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 There could be a lot of logical reshuffling of divisions if the NFL really wanted to. Just a quick and drastic restructure without much thought: AFC North: Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Baltimore AFC East: New England, New York, Miami, Jacksonville AFC West: Kansas City, Denver, Arizona, Houston AFC South: St. Louis, Cininnati, Indianapolis, Tampa Bay NFC North: Minnesota, Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago NFC East: New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Dallas NFC West: Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego NFC South: Atlanta, New Orleans, Carolina, Tennessee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The ravens already have a pretty strong rivalry with NE. I could get behind this. The Ravens biggest rivalry is the Steelers. The two teams hate each other....I just don't see that happening. The Roonies will block it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brasky Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 This is based on fear. No way the tables are turning even when Brady retires. Sorry folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookie Man Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Or... There could be a lot of logical reshuffling of divisions if the NFL really wanted to.
