Ok this isn't a LA/STL thread. I believe both cities should have a team. I don't see the benefit the NFL would get losing a market like St. Louis, San Diego, Oakland, ect. The game is popular enough, why not grow the pie. So I believe the NFL should add 2 teams. Put both in LA. Put one in LA and one in San Antonio, I don't care.
Once you have added the two teams get rid of all divisions. Eliminate cross conference play. With 17 teams in each conference each team could play each other one time. This evens out strength of schedule. It also would eliminate what is happening in the NFC south and what happened in the NFC west in 2010, which is a losing team being in the playoffs AND hosting a playoff game. With no divisions you simply put the top 6 teams in each conference in the playoffs and seed accordingly. I think this is the fairest way of going about things, and it would create very good rivalries.
Thoughts?
