NFC & AFC North 2011 Predictions

NFC North

Green Bay Packers (11-5)

The Green Bay Packers are the defending Super Bowl Champs and only improved in the off season. They didn't even have to do anything in free agency either because they are getting numerous players back who were injured from last season! Mike McCarthy is an offensive mastermind and knows how to get the best out of every player he has on offense, whether he's a starter or coming off of the bench, that's the main reason why they won it all last season! Aaron Rodgers can light up any defense because he has Greg Jennings and Donald Driver to throw to and is getting a dangerous weapon back at tight end, Jermichael Finley. Finley is a versatile tight end who has great hands, is physical and fast as hell if you let him loose! On defense they can get at the quarterback with Raji and Mathews and we know Charles Woodson has everything locked down in the secondary. The only weakness The Packers have is at the running back position, Ryan Grant isn't that great, but they made it work last year by having a couple different guys rotate in the back field and never really had a quality starter throughout the season. The Packers should once again be strong contenders in the NFC this season!

Minnesota Vikings (10-6)

The Brett Favre era in Minnesota is finally over! I think for the most part he dragged the team down last year, as well as a terrible coach, but I think they are heading in the right direction now. Leslie Frazier is their new head coach because he turned The Vikings around towards the end of last season, he's a defensive minded coach, but made most of the moves this off season on offense. They traded for Donovan McNabb who I think will be a good addition to the team, McNabb still has a canon of an arm and has been known to turn decent wide receivers into good wide receivers. He's a leader and has plenty to work with on offense, including one of best running backs in the league, Adrian Peterson. Peterson is a beast of a back, he's tough to bring down, runs hard, and once he hits the hole if you don't at least get one hand on him he's gone! Adrian Peterson has been known to make big plays out of nothing and McNabb coming in is only going to make him better! The defense is led by Jared Allen who is a beast coming off the end and will be tough to run on with their deep linebacking core. They did lose a couple guys on defense which could cost them a couple of games but other than that The Vikings should be a competitive team this season and should make things interesting in the NFC North.

Chicago Bears (9-7)

The Bears are coming off of a tough loss to The Packers in the NFC Championship game last season. Jay Cutler has a lot to prove this season because of his poor performance too. But they didn't do anything in the off season to help him out, they traded away his only solid target Greg Olsen and they signed Sir Drops A Lot Roy Williams. Trust me I know that dude ain't gonna do shit for them! I think The Bears will struggle on offense this season all around, the only thing The Bears have going for them is their defense, but if the offense isn't helping you out there's only so much the defense can do for you! I think it's going to be a long season for The Bears.

Detroit Lions (8-8)

I'm really not buying all this hype that the media is selling on The Lions! Yeah they have some promise and picked up some good players, but whoop di doo! They're still The Detroit Lions! They have a good defense, Suh is a beast up the middle and will have quarterbacks on their asses all day long and their offense has some potential to be good if Matthew Stafford stays healthy. But they are in a division with not only The Super Bowl Champs, but with two other teams who are slighly better than them. Sure The Lions will be better this year, for The Lions... and I'm sure they'll make a few games interesting. But it's not like they're going to the playoffs or winning a Super Bowl so really who cares?!

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens (12-4)

Ever since John Harbaugh has taken over as head coach of The Ravens he has turned them into contenders every season, but have just fallen short. Their defense is solid as a rock and if Ed Reed is healthy don't throw that ball near him or else he might be running it back for 6 points and don't forget about Ray Lewis, as long as he's healthy that defense is strong! On offense they needed to add a few pieces to the puzzle and I think they got them with Lee Evans and Ricky Williams. Lee Evans is going to give them the deep threat that they needed on offense and will open up things for Anquan Boldin and Ray Rice. It's going to be a battle in the AFC North between The Ravens and The Steelers, but I think The Ravens will end up winning the division.

Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4)

The Steelers are coming off of a tough loss to The Packers in The Super Bowl and they are ready this season to try and get back there and win it all! The Steelers defense is by far one of the best in the league, they get at the quarterback, force turnovers and it's the staple of what The Steelers are about. On offense Ben Roethlisberger can light up a defense with his arm and extends plays because he can move and is tough to get down, he also has plenty of weapons to work with, the only problem is he is going to be running around a lot! The Steelers over the past couple of seasons just refuse to make the offensive line better and that has hurt them in the past, including The Super Bowl, and I think this will be a major weakness for them this season, which could cost them the division.

Cleveland Browns (5-10)

The Browns are in the same spot they normally are, Loserville. They don't have much going for them except for Colt McCoy whose a sopping wet vagina in my opinion. I know what that bitch does when the big game rolls around, pinches a nerve in his wittle shoulder and gets dead arm in the National Title game...PUSSY! Sorry got side tracked there by bad memories, anyways The Browns aren't going anywhere the only reason why I'm even writing about them is mainly just to make fun of Coltina McCoy.

Cincinnati Bengals (2-14)

The Cincinnati Bengals are going to be one of the laughing stocks of the league this year! I think the majority of what they did this off season did not help their team at all! First off this bull shit with Carson Palmer is ridiculous, just release the guy, trade him, do something! But don't turn this into a “whose the biggest baby” contest, just end it and move along! But the moronic owner refuses to do so and I guess we now know why The Bengals have been suck bags for years! What really sucks for them is they have to play The Ravens AND Steelers TWICE, so have fun with that!! There really aren't too many positive things I can say about The Bengals right now except for, at least they will have a high draft pick next year!
