Gonna rant again.
I've been back tracking and figuring out where the NFL fucked up.
1993-1995 would be it, correct?
The 28 teams they had playing at crappy "cookie cutters" was at a pretty nice level. I mean sure you had some bad teams like the Colts and Cardinals at the time, but really you had a decent mix of franchises at that point.
In '95?
-Jacksonville was given an expansion franchise. Baltimore is denied one. (Bombers)
-Carolina is given an NFL franchise. St. Louis is denied one. (Stallions)
-The Raiders move back to Oakland
-The Rams move to St. Louis
-The Oilers leave Houston
-And The Browns leave
It almost feels like that the talent pool for the NFL was also diminished as a result of that.
