What if Dolphins get moved to AFC South
28 replies
wpgfishfanNew MemberOPA couple of big if's. But if London does get a NFL team it looks like that team might be the Jaguars. Adam Beasley brought up on Twitter today that the London team would be put in the AFC East or NFC East which makes sense. So either the Dolphins or Cowboys change divisions. Based on the owners both teams have and the fact we are in the AFC already with the Jaguars. It's a real possibility we move divisions
So we lose our rivalries but get back the Indy rivalry. We also don't have to worry do much sbout travelling to the cold cities in December.
It would suck moving but based on that info and our owner don't be surprised in 5 years of we are playing in the AFC South
Well after 15 years Bettman lets hockey come back to Winnipeg. Thanks for wasting 15 years
byroanadminJacksonville has spent a lot of money on their stadium, I'd be surprised if they moved.
wpgfishfanNew MemberSay it's not Jacksonville. Whoever does move will get put in the AFC or NFC East. So unless the team that moves is already in that division I believe that we will be the team to move

Fameforum_veteranI know I'm in the minority on this issue, but I'm totally in favor of it and I think it makes sense for the NFL to do some division/conference reshuffling. When you consider the cost of actually attending games these days, people are trending more toward watching Sunday Ticket on a 60 inch screen or pounding dollar drafts at a bar instead of actually going to games. If the NFL shuffled the divisions to allow for more localized rivalries, fans would have further incentive to attend away games which would boost all revenue, create better rivalries, and improve the atmosphere for all games.
Galantforum_veteranWhat if it's the Dolphins that move? :D
"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)
RoninFin4subscriberI feel like this is WAY down the road. The NFL wants one, or even two, teams in LA before they'll have a team in London. There was a segment on NFLN last week about it, and which two of the three - Chargers, Raiders or Rams - would be moved there since all of them have prior ties to LA.

in principal, yes. but from practicality standpoint, I wouldn't expect much of an improvement. the reasons you mentioned are ones used to keep people away from home games, not away games.

That said, I wouldn't mind playing the NFC South every year.

I don't think AFC or NFC even matters. Realignment would be great, as long as the Dolphins stay in the states.
Brian Flores when asked about tanking: “Again, no we’re not (tanking). We’re going to try to win every game. I think that’s disrespectful to even say that.”

ToddPhinluxury_boxPersonally, I wanna keep on hatin' the Jets twice a year. Besides, I'd soooo much rather be IN the AFCE when the Pooptriots struggle to reach .500 in the post-Brady era. We've waited too long for that moment just to have the rug yanked out from under. Speaking of from under, where is that ballsack?
Alex44New MemberLuck/Tannehill wouls be interesting year in and out. In the end I like being in the AFC East but wherever we play...doesn't really matter. I just want to win.
On the draft Quentin Rollins bandwagon.
Cassforum_veteranDoubt the Jags move, in my opinion it's more likely to be San Diego.
As long as the Dolphins stay in Miami..if they move out of state it would really suck since I have been with them since 66..No way I root for L.A. Dolphins!!! I would have to become a Jaguar fan.....argh!!!! or Bucs fan but I love the AFC.
Vertical Limitforum_veteranI think there's a better chance of expansion than any team moving.

That's why it makes sense. We get our asses kicked by the Patriots for over a decade and just as we are poised to return the favor, boom, we change divisions. That's Miami Dolphins luck.
Just remember everyone.....we kicked the Patriots a$$ for the most part for over 20 years but I am with y'all that we need to start sweeping them again every year starting with this year.
ASOTNew MemberWell you can thank Ross for us not being there already, he turned down an offer to move a few years ago because he wanted to keep the "Eastern Rivalries", now the idiot gives away one of the games to London.
God I hate this clown. Ross please sell the team !!!
ASOTNew MemberOh the proposal was a three team move.....Miami to the AFC South, Indy to the AFC North, and Baltimore to the AFC East.
cdz12250subscriberRoss is not moving the Fins to London.
Los Angeles Rams sounds right somehow. Kind of like Oakland Raiders.

LA struggled and/or refused to support the Raiders & Rams so we're to believe a different team will get better support? Owners "need" this market to be vacant.
