American Football (NFL, College, etc.)

Giants fall from the ranks of the undefeated, getting routed by the Browns (!), 35-14, in Cleveland. :shocked:

yup
i would say the higher u are the harder u fall :twisted: :mwahaha: :mwahaha:

What a crazy football weekend! :nut:

What was turning out to be the best division in the NFL, in the NFC East .... had the Redskins lose to the hapless Rams, the Romo/TO Circus lose to the shaky Cards, and most recently, the Giants to the winless Browns. Moreover, the top 3 teams of the past few years .... namely the Colts, Pats, and Bolts ... all are struggling.


The NFL is one WACKY league!! :banghead:

No surprise about the Pats, with Brady out for the year... Colts are banged up as are the Chargers...

And anytime the Cowboys lose is a good, er, great day. :victory: :applaud:

Not that this is a huge difference, but the Browns were not winless before beating the Giants. They also beat Cincinatti.

right all i have to say is WTH was the raiders thinking when they called thattimeout
that one the dumbest moves i have ever seen this year well so far
right now i saying they should lost :grumble: :grumble: what dummies :banghead: :usuck:

Not the best day in football, but seeing the Cowboys get smacked down by the Rams, 34-14, and the Saints losing 30-7 to the Panthers is a good thing. :applaud: :woot: :dancing:

Looks like you got your wish:[/list:u]49ers Fire Nolan, Promote Singletary to Head Coach[/list:u]SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP)—The 49ersf empty suit finally got the boot.

Mike Nolan, San Franciscofs dapper head coach, was fired Monday night after seven games in his fourth consecutive dismal season, ending his attempt to rebuild the five-time Super Bowl champions.

After four straight losses culminating in Sundayfs 29-17 defeat to the New York Giants, the 49ers didnft even wait until their bye next week before replacing Nolan with assistant head coach Mike Singletary. The former Hall of Fame linebacker in Chicago will take over for the rest of the season, general manager Scot McCloughan said.
So, what are you gonna do with all your spare time? [/list:u]

I'm not that familiar with his coaching credentials, but he was one heck of a great linebacker... :victory:

Mike Singletary took a couple of years off after his playing career... did some motivational speaking, did some teaching, then he became the Line Backers coach for the Baltimore Ravens.

After two years with the Ravens he came to the Niners with Mike Nolan.

For the last 3 and a half years he's been the Assistant Head Coach and inside Line Backers coach.

His rep is that he's a hard nosed detail oriented task master. And his players respect the hell out of him.

I'm pretty happy about this move, and I'm rooting for him big time.

(Now if Denise would only fire John.)

I pretty much read the same on Wiki.

Let's hope it turns the Niners around like Linehan's firing did for the Lambs, er, Rams... :victory:

Santonio Holmes is out for the Steelers' game versus the Giants after getting picked up by Pittsburgh police with 3 joints in the ashtray of his SUV. :omg: :ashamed:


Add to this no Willie Parker, no Bryant McFadden, no Marvel Smith (not necessarily bad) and possibly no Aaron Smith and Sunday's game against the Giants is looking even tougher, though not impossible if they can still manage to stop the run, get pressure on Eli, and protect the ball when they have it.... :fingerscrossed:

^ Go Giants! :P

Chargers don't play defense for the first 3-1/2 quarters and lose, 37-30. :shakehead:

This is a very frustrating team to watch. :grumble:
