The 2011 NFL schedule has come out for the New England Patriots, and it's time to take a look at the best and worst games of the year. As a lifelong Pats fan, I can proudly say that this year's prospects at another Super Bowl run look better than ever. Let's take a look at the three best and worse games of the season.
This is a rematch of last year's playoff game in which the Jets defeated the Patriots 28-21. This game could not come soon enough. Every Patriots fan will want Tom Brady(notes) and company to blow the Jets out. A victory by the Patriots will rid fans everywhere the pain that the Jets caused them after last year's playoff lost.
October 30 at Pittsburgh
Fans everywhere love to give their reasons why Tom Brady is a better quarterback than Ben Roethlisberger(notes), so this game will only go to prove that point further. A game that will probably be close through three quarters, before Tom and the gang will prove once more why they are still the team to beat in the AFC.
December 4 vs Indianapolis
In a game that will have plenty of Game of the Year hype, this one should be a great one. Brady vs Manning - this one will have all of America watching. This game has always been one of the greatest games of the year and will showcase one of the best rivalries in the NFL today.
The Three Worst Games
September 25 at Buffalo
The games against Buffalo haven't been interesting since Jim Kelly was the quarterback for the Bills, so this year is no different. The Pats will come into Buffalo and by the end of the first quarter the game will be over. As a football fan this one will be a joy to watch.
October 2 at Oakland
While Oakland will be an improved team, they will be no match for the Patriots. This game will be another blowout for the Patriots and should be over by the third quarter. With all the sun that's in Oakland, Tom Brady and company should be able to get a good tan in while the second stringers finish out the game.
December 11 at Washington
If all goes right for the Patriots, Mr. Brady goes to Washington will be a great ending to the 2011 NFL season. The game against the Redskins is just a minor stop on the campaign to the Super Bowl. Greatness at the quarterback position hasn't come to Washington for a long time, so everyone who is at the game will marvel at the skill of Tom Brady marching his team to victory in blowout fashion.
