Thanks for posting this JeffSeems really odd to skip byes altogether in Week 10 and then have four teams off in Week 11Is there ANY reason for that?

Not really clear at all why they did this.
 
Conspiracy theories start to emerge:

2011 SCHEDULE NOTES

In what may be viewed as something of a hedge to the season starting late, in almost the entire time during the concept of the bye week, byes began in Week 4, expect for the hideous time when the league had an odd number of teams and there were bye weeks every week. There are two interesting indicators worked into the bye schedule. It doesn’t start until Week 5 and, for some reason, there are no byes in Week 10, yet four teams (Houston, Indianapolis, New Orleans and Pittsburgh) have Week 11 off for a bye. Those of us who see conspiracy among anomalies see these two variations that lead us to believe there is a secondary schedule – which wasn’t released – that envisions how a 16-game, 17-week schedule could be played with the first week of the regular season being missed. As we see it, under this scenario, Week 1 games would be shifted to the final week of the regular season (much like the games scheduled for the weekend after the Sept. 11, 2001 tragedies were shuttled, the bye weeks would be condensed – Week 11 bye weeks would revert to Week 10 and the Week 5 bye weeks become the standard Week 4 beginning. It’s a theory that makes sense and could be a pre-ordained, Plan B option if nail-biting time comes and goes.
 
A lot of high stakes leagues final regular season game is week 11. That is going to really be tough for a team that is say in a must win situation week 11 to get in the playoffs with their top players on bye.
