Let's see, did anything interesting happen this offseason that's worth mentioning? Surely there had to be something....
Ah yes, a five-month lockout nearly wiped out the entire 2011 season. Commissioner Roger Goodell was repeatedly booed on stage at Radio City Music Hall during the first round of April's NFL Draft by angry fans that thought football wouldn't return this year. Free agency seemingly wrapped up in a matter of hours because teams needed to get players into camp and if you blinked, you probably missed the preseason.
But five-plus months of frustration has suddenly vanished because football is back. Football is back, football is back, FOOTBALL IS BACK.
Can the Packers be the first team to repeat since the Patriots won back-to-back Super Bowls in 2004 and 2005? Will Peyton Manning's neck injury destroy the Colts' season? Will this be the first year the Texans finally make the postseason? Can the Saints return to glory? Will Michael Vick and the loaded Eagles emerge as Super Bowl champs like many are predicting?
In our 2011 NFL Season Preview, we'll tackle these questions and much more. Below you'll find division-by-division breakdowns and a brief outlook on how we see things shaking out in the NFL this season. Be sure to check out our in-depth articles below the preview and of course, our prediction for the 2012 Super Bowl. (We correctly predicted the Packers to win last year, so maybe lighting will strike twice.)
Did we mention football was back? Oh, that feels good...
