Week 11 winners and losers | National Football Post
Let’s check out my winners and loser from the Week 11 NFL action. Five that stood out and five that disappointed…
Just another Patriots-Colts classic - Don Banks - SI.com
It's more compliment than complaint, but here's the problem I've got with these annual Colts-Patriots showdowns, the ones the NFL use as the centerpiece of its entire 256-game regular-season schedule every November: They only serve to make us realize what we're missing the rest of the year.
Young's meltdown, more Snap Judgments - Don Banks - SI.com
Vince Young is toast in Tennessee. That has to be it for the Titans' 2006 first-round pick, doesn't it? There's really no way back for the Young era in Nashville after Sunday's career-worst meltdown in the wake of the Titans' damaging 19-16 overtime loss to Washington.
Bills vs. Bengals - Recap - November 21, 2010 - NFL - Football - SI.com
Down 31-14 at halftime, the one-win Buffalo Bills got angry.
First and 10: Jets' miracle, more analysis - Andrew Perloff - SI.com
Once again we're left asking are the Jets lucky or good. Now that they've pulled out three dramatic wins in a row and improved to 8-2, you have to argue they're pretty good. Quarterback Mark Sanchez showed he can handle the moment with another dramatic game-winning drive, which was capped by a long bomb to Braylon Edwards and a short TD pass to Santonio Holmes with only :10 remaining. Darrelle Revis also showed why his holdout was such a big deal, helping limit Houston's Andre Johnson to four catches for 32 yards. The Texans made an admirable comeback effort, with 20 fourth-quarter points, but they have to be the worst finishers in the NFL.
Remembering former Denver Broncos' receiver Kenny McKinley - The Bonus - SI.com
The booming bass bounced off the walls in the Broncos' locker room as the rap song "Chirpin" played in the background. Before one practice in October, Denver receivers traded quips like short routes. It was as if Kenny McKinley was right there with them, cracking jokes and a smile so wide, as one teammate said, "You could see every tooth in his mouth."
Seahawks vs. Saints - Recap - November 21, 2010 - NFL - Football - SI.com
Drew Brees has made plenty of good defenses look bad during his steady accumulation of New Orleans Saints passing records.
Colts' Peyton Manning has plenty on his shoulders - Dan Shaughnessy - SI.com
This time, he could not beat Bill Belichick and the Patriots. This time, he could not finish the furious comeback. This time, he threw a killer interception in the closing seconds when his team was already in position to tie the game with a field goal.
Titans' Young goes out with a temper tantrum - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
You got the feeling that Titans coach Jeff Fisher never believed in Young as his quarterback, that all the talk about team owner Bud Adams taking Young in the NFL draft and sticking it to the city of Houston one last time were right on the money. It seemed as if Fisher was stuck with Young.
Jags' little big man deserves bigger spotlight - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
"If this was New York, he’d be a huge star," Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter said of his running back Maurice Jones-Drew(notes).
Pats' D rewards Belichick this time around - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
This is the play New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn’t trust his defense to make a year ago, when the man who knows the percentages better than any coach who has ever worked in the NFL made the most scrutinized fourth-down call in league history.
The legend of Brett Favre is dead - Shutdown Corner - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Sunday's Vikings-Packers game will probably not be the last NFL game Brett Favre(notes) plays. It should be, though, because at this point, Favre can't do anything for the Vikings other than continue to pilot their dizzying plunge into a foul pit of football sewage.

Shootout at the Qualcomm Corral
Often, matchups between two high scoring teams disappoint by becoming defensive battles and low scoring games. Not tonight. The two NFL passing leaders will go head to head. San Diego will put up some points, probably in the second half, their usual late game onslaught. The Broncos will have to, and will, put up some big numbers too. Time for the Broncos to start reeling in the rest of the West. The Raiders dropped one yesterday and will continue to lose ground. KC will soon follow. Go Broncos! Beat San Diego!
for as much crap as Bronco brass takes
for alleged locker room issues, team metldowns, and terrible decisions, there are teams that should be much closer to having “it” then denver and are just terrible. vikings, titans, cowboys, etc.
I'm betting Marshall is sitting in Miami thinking "That could have been me." Instead, Tyler Thigpen is throwing him passes. - Nick Cast

Those teams get a ton of bad press nationally and locally. You are just not paying as much attention since it’s not our team.
I live in South Florida and the locals are very ready to put their coach on the hot seat, they don’t like Ronnie Brown, don’t like Marshall, don’t like that Parcells left.
I saw something today about Mangenius on the hot seat in Cleveland when he was getting a lot of love just two weeks ago.
Denver is no different than any of these organizations.
Oh well.
So the Vikings canned Childress
Will they show Favre the door as well?
IMO they should.
Character may be manifested in the great moments but it is made in the small ones -- Philip Brooks
My ship finally came in, but it was the Kobayashi Maru.
I would
Favre is not doing ANYTHING for the team. He is just showing that he really should have retired 3 years ago. Part of me hopes he keeps being stupid and plays the season out so I can watch him look like a complete fool some more.

finally needs to tell Favre go to hell and don’t come back. I’ve been saying this for 20 years. I hate that tool.

Les Fraiser played CB on the Bears 85 SB winner!
one of the best cover guys I’ve seen in the NFL. Blew out his knee returning a punt in the 4th qtr of the Super Bowl with the Bears up by 30 points. Never was the same player. He’ll be a great fit for the Vikings!
