Way too long between facing each interconference foe.

I'm fine with eliminating divisions as long as you keep the same scheduling in place, including home and home against current division foes.

I'm a little confused. I wasn't saying the literal final game of the season would be the inter-conference game. Just that at one point your team would play an inter-conference opponent that finished in your team's same slot in their own conference. I think teams would still get 8 home games and 8 away games. I don't think much of the scheduling would need to change.

No, I mean that playing only one interconference foe per year if you're playing all 15 of your own conference teams in a round robin would result in a very long time between two teams from opposite conferences facing each other.

I guess I don't have a problem with that, necessarily.

I like seeing some of the best of the best between conferences go at it with some regularity. Plus, if you're, say, a Bears fan living in KC, it would suck if you only have a snowball's chance of hell of seeing the Bears play in Arrowhead--whereas now you'll know it'll happen every eight years*.

*unless East Coast teams whine about traveling west and fuck up the rotation of the West divisions, even though Western teams have to deal with the same shit to a higher degree.

Jets fans have to be sick to their stomach right now.

They're clearly trying to lose. They're in full rebuild mode.

Belichick will probably sit all his starters Week 17 just to prevent the Jets from getting the #1 overall pick.

Belicheck would do that.

Nice! How big is the tailgate area around the stadium?

Couldn't you just see Belichick signing Revis for the playoffs just to fuck around further with the Jets?
