The 2011 NFL Season

 It’s a great year to be watching the NFL. We’ve had a share of great teams do what they do every season and play entertaining games. This has led to a great line of separation between good teams and great teams. A clear example of this is the NFC NORTH. You can have the best team in the entire NFL, the Green Bay Packers, a couple of good teams, the Bears and lions, and then you have the Vikings with a 2-7 record. Although this may seem bad, their record is peanuts compared to a 0-10 depressing record for the Colts. On the other hand though, there are some excellent teams who are playing even better than last year. An example is the Packers, who have already won 9 games and lost none, giving them the chance to be back to back Super Bowl champs. There have also been teams that have done excellent in the beginning of the season, but have steadily decreased in quality. One such team could be the Patriots, whose season started great and has steadily declined after 2 losses to the Steelers and Giants. There are also teams that have started poorly and have improved very much, such as the Broncos, as they recovered for 3 straight losses. What’s in store isn’t known for the super bowl yet, but it will be a heck of a game for sure.
