The NFL is making realignment changes for the arrival of Houston in 2002. Out of the seven realignment plans under consideration, option A1 is the plan the committee decided on. Here are your thoughts on the option A1 plan:
Good job NFL Cut down on travel time I like it. I think the owners did the best they could. In most cases, geographically it makes a lot of sense. Most of the main rivalries are still there. Good Job!! Jerry Withers Minneapolis, Minn. Really, plan is to save money Why is Miami in the East and not in the South? Why did the Colts go to the South and not the North, and why is Dallas, not going to the West? I thought this was a move based on money saving for the teams and the organization. If you ask me Miami should be in the South not the Colts, the Colts should be in the North not Baltimore. The new plan seems to only favor a couple of teams as far as money saving goes. Scott Keesee Knoxville, Tenn. Road trippin' Great! Finally the league has come to its senses and realigned teams according to geographic location. Fans will be able to make the drive to road games within their division more often, providing the league with an increase in gate receipts. Also, they've managed to keep almost all of the division rivalries intact. The teams that moved should benefit, especially Arizona. If they can make headway against their new division opponents in the standings and qualify for the postseason, maybe they'll get that new stadium after all! The NFL should look forward to a very successful 2002 season. Ronald Rankin Rexburg, Idaho Buffalo-Miami rivalry continues I think the realignment is good because it prevents having too many teams in one division and not enough in another. When it comes down to it, I really don't care as long as Buffalo still plays Miami I have no problems with the "New NFL." Matt Smith Vancover, Wash. Round 1 excitement: Texas/Titans matchup I love the new alignment! Especially because now the team I grew up with in Houston, the Oilers (Titans) will come and play my new team, the Texans. How great is it to see the old franchise you love play the new franchise you root for in the city you all called home? I can't wait for the first Texans/Titans game. Len Driskell Austin, Texas Tough brake for Colts This affects the Colts tremendously! They stated that the move was made based on geographic location. If that were true then Miami should be in the AFC South, Indianapolis should be in the AFC North and Baltimore should be in the AFC East where the original Colts were located. I may be complaining because the Colts will be in the toughest division in football but it still makes more sense using this plan. Can you name a better creation of a rivalry than Miami-Jacksonville? John Collins Troy, NY.
Something doesn't work Bucs dominate No. 1 spot Are you kidding me? The Bucs look to get at least five wins a year by moving in with the Saints, Panthers and Falcons ... This virtually guarantees Tampa a winning team for years to come! No other team even comes close to getting this much good fortune from the realignment. And new rivalries will form as quickly as old ones are forgotten ... Jim Gainesville, Fla. One league understands In a world of sporting travesties (A-Rod) and neverending doldrums (NBA season), it is wonderfully refreshing to see the NFL step up and make something so good, so much better!
