So..... about the AFCS this week....

All 4 teams lost by a total of 155 - 57

Average margin of defeat was: 24.5 points

Houston was the best this week and lost by 13 points lol

Jags lost by 26, Ten by 25, Indy by 34

Just an overall brutal week for the division
AFCS is 1 and done in the wild card round. It may be time for realignment. Indy is certainly not in the 'south' and neither is Nashville.
of all the games left the tittians have the easiest schedule left. 2 games againest jags,and one vs texans .  No way Jags are winning in tensse. they might have a chance last game cause tittians could be playing a game that means nothing due to them in playoffs,and already sedded.

Of course it's not related, but I like to insert my realignment commercial whenever possible. At the very least, Indy should be replaced by the Dolphins.
We're still a better division than the NFC South. But yeah, bad day at work yesterday.

I do agree, the divisions make no sense. Indy in the AFCS? Dallas in the NFCE?

Dallas was tied to Iggles/Redacteds/Giants due to ages of divisional history.

Both southern divisions were the leftovers, either expansion teams with little history, relocated franchises, or otherwise teams that didn't quite have the same ties that the other teams had when delineation occurred.

Prior to realignment, due to relocations and expansions we had other head-scratchers like ATL and NO in the NFC W, PHX/AZ in the NFC East, JAX in the AFC Central, Tampa in the NFC North, etc.

You can see that the NFCS has taken to their division, for years it seemed they rotated the crown from one team to the next, and it cemented new rivalries among 4 preexisting franchises. Unfortunately, the AFCS has had some real lopsided races (indy and Manning early on, and more recently the tacks) with no real contention. That lack of contention has hurt the divisional sense of rivalry. Heck, I'd even say in the early years of the division when we were chasing indy, they still had more focus on competing with Brady's Pats, Ben's Stillers way more than they worried about us unseating them.

We need a good number of years where multiple teams are competitive and the divisional games to mean more than darft positioning for the rivalries to really take hold.
