Thru Week 11
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! Sorry this is kinda short this week, but I don't have a lot of time with family visiting and all.
What have you done for me lately?
1. Turning the corner? San Francisco has allowed 31 TD's this year (most in the NFL) but did you know, they have allowed only 3 TD's in their last 3 games?
2. ENVER - What happened to the "D"? The Broncos allowed only 3 TD's in the first 7 weeks of the season. They have allowed 11 TD's in their last 4 games.

9. Maybe I'm the only one who cares about this stat - There is no team that is averaging the following...
100+ rush yards per game
250+ passing yards per game
less than 100 yards rushing allowed per game
less than 200 yards passing allowed per game
a few teams are close, but no one team fits the bill.
10. These two stats regarding the Patriots are courtesy of FBG "nerangers"
- After 10 games, New England is 5-0 on the road and 2-3 at home. The Patriots have not scored 20 points at home this season and have scored 20 or more points in all five road games.
New England is also the first team in NFL history to win four consecutive road games by 22 points or more in the same season.
11. Trivia Question - A gravy-filled dollop of mashed potatoes to whoever knows the answer to this question. Who is the only TE (no Marques Colston does not count) with two receptions of 40+ yards or more?
12. One man show? - Bills WR Lee Evans had 205 yards receiving against the Texans last week - IN THE FIRST QUARTER
He finished with 265 yards for the day with 11 recs on 16 targets and 2 TD's

I can't NOT mention Drew Brees and his 510-yard passing performance against the Bengals last weekTidbits on Brees
* 510 yards passing breakdown by quarter
1st: 109
2nd: 143
3rd: 76
4th: 182
Brees - Home vs. Away Brees has 8 INT at home and only 2 on the road. Everything else looks very similar.
CATEGORY G CMP ATT YD Y/A TD INTRoad 5 126 189 1590 8.4 8 2Home 5 129 195 1530 7.8 9 8 14. Bulger owners - Beware
* The last time Bulger faced SF (week 2) he amassed only 185 yards passing with 1 TD
* SF is averaging 10.0 pts per game on defense in their last 3 games
* Bulger had been sacked 28 times heading into last week's game at Carolina. He now has been sacked 35 times, 3rd most sacks of all QB's. Think things will get easier with Pace out? So far it's really hurting the offense.
* STL has lost 5 straight games, SF has won 3 straight games
