Ever wondered why the NFL doesn't adjust thier teams geographically? Here's how the divisions could be more geographically correct.
NFC North (No change) Vikings Lions Bears Packers AFC North Steelers Browns Bengals Colts NFC South Saints Bucs Falcons Cowboys AFC South Titans Jags Texans Dolphins NFC East WFT Giants Eagles Panthers AFC East Patriots Jets Bills Ravens NFC West (NC) 49ers Seahawks Cardinals Rams AFC West (NC) Raiders Chiefs Broncos Chargers Thoughts? (Other than "It must be the bye week")

Here's how the divisions could be more geographically correct. If the league were open to this alignment, they would have voted for this alignment years ago. They aren't going to re-align now after all this time. Dallas and Miami are too high profile to switch divisions. Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
Too many rivalries now in each division. Too much tradition. It would be nice if they added an expansion city some time. I'd like to see a city in a state that doesnt have a team yet though
As already mentioned, rivalries and tradition. Fans would hate it.
Beyond that, for what purpose? It's not like they're flying commercial and sitting around in the airport waiting for a connecting flight.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

The only changes listed aren't going to happen because they didn't when the last realignment happened. The league established that historical rivalries were a big part in geography not taking top priority in the last realignment(s). Both south divisions are kind of "leftovers" that were either expansion teams or teams without long-standing rivalries with teams that remained in the more geographic alignment the last re-org accomplished.
Looking at your proposal, there's only 5 teams shifting from one division to the other. The last realignment was to add two new divisions, followed a decade filled with 4 expansion franchises, 3 franchises relocated (maybe 4 if you count the Raiders bouncing between LA and Oakland), and a corrected a number of geographical outliers due to previous expansions (ATL in the west, Tampa in the north because the old NFCe already had 5 members, including one now in Phoenix!), SEA moved to NFC to even up conference membership. It kinda sucks that we're in the junk drawer of the AFC conference alignment, but unless we have a number of teams relocate from one coast to the other, I doubt you'll see any realignment any time soon.

Here's how the divisions could be more geographically correct. This a big reason. The classic rivalries like Dallas, NY, Philly the NFL would never want to disrupt. It's why when they realigned we got dumped into the afcs with Houston. Similar with nfcs I think, they got ain'ts, BUCS, and Panthers.

Guess I should have read ahead. But exactly.
It would be great to be able to play Miami twice a year.
Respect the game. Play with a sense of urgency.
1.) Take care of the ball. Win the turnover battle. 2.) It's all about 3rd down. Win on 3rd down to win the game. 3.) Playmakers make plays. The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays. Learn from the great collapse of 2023.
