All I can say is thank goodness you are not working for the NFL. Great depth of intelligence on display here.
Pot, meet kettle.
Your "proposal" would be something like this:
NFC West: 49ers, Seahawks, Rams, Cardinals, Saints
NFC Central: Vikings, Bears, Packers, Lions, Falcons
NFC East: Cowboys, Buccaneers, Panthers, Commanders, Eagles, Giants
AFC West: Chargers, Raiders, Broncos, Chiefs, Texans
AFC Central: Jaguars, Titans, Browns, Bengals, Steelers, Ravens
AFC East: Colts, Bills, Patriots, Jets, Dolphins
With an 18 game season ala the CFL, a team in a 6 team division would have TEN games against division rivals, four interdivisional and four interconference. But then, you also have the headache of dealing with the four 5 team divisions, which could take over TEN years to play everyone home-and-home from the other conference!
And you call me stupid!?!

Double edged sword. On one hand, the players would get beat up a lot less. But on the other hand, LESS games means LESS money unless you eliminate the salary cap, and the last thing we need is Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft "buying" championships.
Lmao… I didn't propose s**t wise guy. I simply made an observation from two different time periods. Where did I suggest the NFL needs to go back to 3 divisions in each conference? I simply stated why I felt 4 team divisions has some glaring flaws.
Don't put words or proposals in my mouth, keep that diatribe to yourself. 🤡
