Raiders agreed to switch to NFC west if they move.

Per bleacher report. I know, not super reliable. But if they do, I would think they would switch with the Rams. What would you think about being in the AFC west?

My co worker just told me he read Seahawks would switch lol. Who knows!?

Less travel for team. In state rivalry with KC. The best thing would be that the stadium mess would have to be resolved.

Why would Raiders switch though? SF and Oakland in same division would be odd. Maybe Chargers move to LA with the Raiders?

Here's the walk-thru of the logic behind the Raiders swapping over: http://blog.azcardinals.com/2014/10/08/the-nfl-l-a-and-raiders-in-nfc-west/

- It's not just Raiders moving, but if both Raiders and Chargers moved to L.A., then one would have to swap conferences in order to avoid two AFC in the same city.
- Apparently Raiders would volunteer to swap.
- Likely candidate to swap to AFC would be Seattle, since AFC West was their original conference.

 

[Rams and Gators]

So if the Rams move we'd have no problem?

Troll off.

Why do I get the feeling this thread will be locked sooner rather than later?

If this is true this is very interesting to me.

Why is it a good idea?

1. A switch to the AFC West with games in Kansas City and Denver would greatly decrease our travel every year.
2. While some of my Rams brethren wouldn't get their team back, if the Chargers join the Raiders in L.A., the L.A. Rams fans would get the chance to see the Rams play in L.A. at least once per season, or five times every four years.
3. Fuck the Seahawks.

You mean, switch back

 

[ZigZagRam]

I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL would switch Seattle to the AFC to try and balance the power again.

So basically if that's the case, you're talking about swapping the Seahawks out, and the Raiders in. The Raiders! Yes please!

Makes more sense for the Midwest Rams to be the team to switch out of the NFC West.

I would love for them to be in the AFC West. Getting to play KC twice a year would be an awesome rivalry

 

[DaveFan'51]

Seattle was in the Old AFL, so put them in the AFC! Their is too much History of the 49ers & Rams in the same Div. To change that IMO!!

Agreed. Geographically, it would make sense for the Rams to move. But the NFL may not want to do it due to the Rams history in the NFCW.

THAT SHIT AINT HAPPENING!

I would love to play in the NFC North. Natural rival in Chicago, Brewers fans already hate St. Louis, so bring on Green Bay, Blues fans hate the Redwings and Detroit, and Minnesota is, well, Minnesota.

Just get out of the NFC West.

This makes zero sense to me. So I'm going to ignore this thread.

 

[Ram Quixote]

The NFL is all about history. No way are they going to move the Rams to the AFCW.

Ummm, you failed to ignore it by posting. lol

Do you really think the NFL will allow the Raiders in the NFCwest? You remember what happened the last time the Raiders and Niners played? And now with the 49ers fanbase becoming violent throughout the years it would spell a recipe for disaster if those fans saw each other twice a year.

Yea. That's a big question. The crime rate in California would skyrocket two Sundays every year.

My best friend is a Broncos fan so I would be happy if it happened lol I'm personally tired of playing the 49ers. History shmistery. It gets boring to watch the Rams play the same teams every year. Change it up a little.
