Where's the NFL Chatter ('11 version)?

While it's not directly related to this season, here's a neat story about how a former Jet got his Super Bowl ring back.

I know the Colts are without Peyton Manning, but being home underdogs to the Browns?  Now that is an insult!

Without Manning even Notre Dame could beat the Colts, and ND can't beat anybody!

The WHOLE colts team was built around Peyton Manning.  It is certainly a case of keeping all your eggs in one basket.
 
That basket got dropped and now they got egg all over their faces.

Out of all of the players in the NFL, I would submit that Peyton Manning is more valuable to his team than any other player in the NFL is to theirs.  He's one of those few quarterbacks that takes average wide receivers and makes them look really good, such as Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon.  Other QB's that have had that ability that come to mind are Brett Favre and John Elway.   Probably have to put Brady in that group as well, and I'm sure there's more.

 Not a beautiful win, but a win nevertheless..............GO PACKERS\!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Browns not only won, but also covered the spread.

skins 2-0. wow, unexpected. but, both were home games. 1st road test next week - monday night, in Arlington, TX.

While the Lions comeback against the Vikes was pretty good, the Bills comeback against the Pats was even more impressive.

The 'Skins have managed to stumble back into first place in the NFC East - with an awful loss to Dallas, and equally poor showings against St. Louis - but a win. Thank goodness for the Redskin defense - keeping games tight even when the offense implodes.
 
Two weeks to prepare for Philly - if Vick is out, I feel better. But I'm still nervous. Travelling to Buffalo (where they seem to win no matter how far they fall behind), an improved SF team  -although at home. Jets, New England and travel to Giants still left.
 
IF the 'Skins offense can be more consistent, we're good. But games like the past two weeks, ugh! Someone said Grossman was inconsistent - he can shine or break your heart. I'd rather skip the heart break.
 
Can anyone tell me why the Skins are playing the entire AFC East? If they were to win all four, will the Skins have the option to play in the AFC playoffs?  

Is this season making sense to anyone? One week a team looks like a contender & then the next week they look like a pretender.

Even though they're still 7-5 and a wild card team if the season ended today, the Bears are in deep trouble without Jay Cutler and totally dead in the water if Matt Forte's knee injury turns out to be serious.  Today's loss to Kansas City was brutally ugly (no other way to describe it) and I won't be at all surprised if the GM gives Donovan McNabb a call tomorrow if he hasn't already.

Coach LeBeau has been thinking about Green Bay for 10 months now.  I will pity the Pack come February. 

Giants came close to knocking off the Pack, but left Rogers with a little too much time on the clock.

Don't count your chickens, they still have to get by Tebow.

I enjoyed the Packer/Giants game- a nail biter for sure. But for some reason, I just wasnt worried that the Packers would lose...

That's cuz Tebow isn't the Giants QB.

I don't think the Redskins are going to the Super Bowl!

The NFC Championship game between the Packers & the Saints should be better than Super Bowl XXLVIIXLIIIXVXVXXXL, Whatever.
And yes, CTF, the Redskins WILL be going to the Super Bowl-----As Spectators!!!

Tebow just proves that the WILL TO WIN is greater than the SKILL TO WIN!

Well, Tebow has NOTHING to do with the Denver Donkeys-er, I mean Denver Broncos, winning-they are winning in Spite of him.

Amen to that! (yuk, yuk, yuk)

Being a Giants fan from the Phil Simms era, and a fan of all the Manning family, I was hard pressed to divide my loyalties yesterday. Having two of my kids firmly in the grip of "Packer-Mania" up in the Great White North makes cheering for Green Bay a family obligation (which I also enjoy).  That was one of he best games I have seen in years.

You are joking, right?  If not, a lot of the Bronco players, including those on defense, disagree with you.

Hum? Let me see----
Record without Tebow - 1 win, 4 losses
Record with Tebow -      7 wins, 1 loss
Yea, I guess you're right.

Yeah Ann, didn't you see the pick that Tebow made of Ponder's pass to set up the winning FG?

I stand by my statement. Defense is doing well, has nothing to do with Tebow. Denver has an offense, that ,as I said, is out playing their quarterback.

Tebow is a class act.  I sorta hope he has the opportunity to leave Denver and go somewhere that is appreciative.
 
He was that way when he was in Florida.

Winning has a way of changing management's opinions and perceptions. Thank goodness Denver's fans are smarter than Denver's management.
I don't normally care for Jason Whitlock's opinion, but this is interesting:

Are we talking quarterback qualities or personal triumphs? I respect everyone for their stellar personalities and their stand up views. I was talking sports. He definately deserves to go somewhere else where he can shine.
