Hey all, a few weeks back I started wondering what Reddit discussions would have been like if the site was around during the 2002 realignment so planning to eventually post on all the different subs to see what their feelings were with how the alignment ended up for their team. Moving Seattle out the AFC West seemed to be probably the easiest decision out of the whole process as they were the last team added so the history wasn’t as deep with them as the other 3. I know a few people tried convincing me back then that KC should be the odd one out being in Midwest rather than truly a “West” team but they refused to acknowledge the deep history with the other 3.

I did recently learn that both Tampa and Cincy spent a little time (1 year and 2 years respectively) in the AFC West, that was all before my time though.

Would love any thoughts from everyone if they had feelings different than (or same as) mine on how the 2002 realignment affected this team.
