[edit] Vikings
I am a Kansas City Chiefs fan, so this is a slight surprise, but the Vikings have an error on this page. You have them as never winning a championship and then have (Founded 1961). They won the NFL championship once, in 1969. The merger took effect in 1970, so the AFL champion Chiefs were playing the NFL Champion Vikings.
[edit] Browns
Along that line (Vikings) the Browns lost the 68 and 69 NFL title games to the Colts and Vikings Smith03 18:44, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
I think the title of this page should be shortened, the current title is too long and this page, along with the other 2 similar pages regarding NBA and MLB do not appear in any searches unless you type in the entire page heading. lawnboy1977 13:27, December 2, 2005
[edit] Merge
Apparently somebody posted the merge tag on here. Well, I oppose. National Football League is already too long as it is; it is over the preferable article size. Also, among the content that was previously on that page but was moved to separate articles were NFL lore [1] and NFL on television [2] Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:35, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yes it NFL needs splitting, but not by just creating this ugly titled sub page. The whole article needs splitting up somehow--Light current 15:47, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- If you think this article is "ugly titled", then perhaps you should be thinking about a a page move/rename, or perhaps splitting this page itself, rather than a merge. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- I see nothing wrong with the title of this article, nor do I think that this article should be split up. I find it useful to have all this info on one page. Kingturtle 18:52, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- On the subject of splitting the page, I do not think it is necessary, however, I do think the page should be linked to other pages on this site. Maybe linked to the Super Bowl page, or the NFL main page. lawnboy1977 68.110.72.4 18:38, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Tables
I think these lists rather lend themselves to being tables. Any objections? —Wrathchild (talk) 19:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
- just make 'em pretty. Kingturtle 21:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC) :)
- The tables are somewhat confusing, if someone were to come looking for all the teams to never make a Super Bowl appearance, they would be thrown off by the addition of the NFL Championship games listed. For example; yes the Browns have appeared in and won NFL Championship games, but they have yet to make a Super Bowl appearance. This page should be cleaned up to make such a distinction.--Pioneer1973 14:05, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. I'll leave this open for comment, but I don't see any reason to use the 1970 formal merger as the break date -- we should break the table based on Super Bowl I, making it obvious that six teams have never appeared. Anyway, at the time no one looked at the Browns appearance in the 1969 NFL championship game as an appearance in a championship game -- by then, the Super Bowl was accepted as the true championship. If no one comments, I will change this next week. -- AyaK (talk) 01:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
