A Quick Look Back at Week Eleven

The Cowboys are 2-0 since making Jason Garrett head coach.

The Titans are 0-2 since adding Randy Moss to their roster.

Wade Phillips was the first to go.  Who is next?  Brad Childress?  Perhaps Mike Singletary? 

What the lowly Cleveland Browns managed to do, the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers and perennially productive Indianapolis Colts could not: beat the New England Patriots. 

SI.com is now flirting with the possibility that Favre is done for good:

Among the questions surrounding the Vikings -- Will Brad Childress be fired? Is the team coming apart? -- is whether Brett Favre just up and retires. It sure sounded like it Sunday. ... If he's going to come back, then he's going to have to talk himself into it. When he left Sunday, it was for good. That was not "see you later." It was goodbye. Twice he was asked if he's committed to finishing the season. He would not make promises. "I came back for a Super Bowl," he said. "But also, I knew there was a chance it wouldn't happen." What do you mean you're going to re-evaluate? "I have no idea," he said, smiling. "That was just an answer."

Wouldn’t that be something if the final game of his career was a loss to the Packers?!

Speaking of the Packers, they have allowed a total of just 10 points in the past three games combined.  Peter King is wondering if they are perhaps the best team in the league.  That first page of his MMQB is a good read for Packer fans -- I recommend it. 

And one quick college football note… How ‘bout them Badgers?!  Ever since their 10-point loss to the Spartans in East Lansing, Wisconsin hasn’t missed a beat.  This week, they went into Michigan and put a real beat-down on the Wolverines.  A writer for CBS Sports has written an effective tribute to this year's Badgers and their coach: a very satisfying read.  Still some sorting out to do in the Big Ten and the BCS. 

Between Thursday in the NFL and Friday in the NCAA, it should be a great Thanksgiving weekend of football!
