0-2? THAT'S WHEN I'M A VIKING ✰✰✰ NFL Week Three ✰✰✰

well that'll do the job

Well, whether they meant to or not..

these teams are so ridiculously even -- all three games they've played in the rex era have come down to the final drive

henne is shredding them

I L U BRANDON MARSHALL

NERVOUS

rip eric smith

holy balls this game

This game! FINS

let's just get the fade out of the playbook maybe

The only reason the Jets exist in my world is to play the Dolphins.

for real

Just throw it to Marshall dude.

just throw it to someone else--they're blanketing marshall

dolphins playcalling got pretty flaky for some of the second half

awwwww

what kind of play was that

damn

oh ffs

he was actually open, fuck

i feel confident the dolphins will get them next time but damn

damn. Wtf

henne is close to primetime, but not quite there

yeah he kind of folded at the end there

I hope the Jets' plane crashes on the way home. Everyone survives of course, but they are missing for weeks and have to eat Rex Ryan to stay alive.

i actually didn't think the dolphins were gonna win -- it's so hard to beat a team three times in a row esp when they're as evenly matched as these two teams

without that awful long td they gave up it's a v. different game, but that's why they play 'em amirite

yeah -- also they fucked up that drive when they got it first and goal at the 5

and kicked the extra point

holy shit i just saw the eagles highlights

vick made three absolutely SICK throws to desean

just, jesus christ

shit, actually one of them was to maclin, down the sideline perfectly beating the cover 2

but seriously the guy was just out of his mind

the long TD to desean is easily the best throw i've seen this year

wow, that highlight reel is something else. his throwing action is so fast. it's gonna be so sad when he fucks up again.

49ers have fired Jimmy Raye: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/27/jimmy-raye-gets-run-away-from-niners/

Earlier this morning, Rosenthal posted that 49ers coach Mike Singletary gave offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye the dreaded vote of confidence. Singletary specifically said that Raye will remain in the job for the rest of the season.

Apparently, the 49ers' season is over. (As a practical matter, it possibly is.)

Jason LaCanfora of NFL Network reports that Raye has been fired.

Unless Singletary decided to pull an Andy Reid about-face in a matter of hours, it's possible that the order came from higher up in the organization, possibly with a "fire Raye or you're out" ultimatum.

Then again, we continue to believe that no one in the 49ers organization would have the nerve to tell Singletary that he's out of a job.

Still, the move brings to mind whispers around the league the Singletary wasn't ready to become a head coach after being elevated into the position during the 2008 season.

LaCanfora also reports that Mike Johnson has been promoted into Raye's job. Two weeks ago, Singletary and others in the organization suspected that Johnson was the "rat" who spoke to the media about Raye's actual or perceived flaws in calling plays quickly.

^ The year's most wonderful soap opera.

i did not realize that jimmy raye was a 64 year-old coach who has coordinated only three seasons where the offense was ranked in the top 16, last being the chiefs in 2000. i mean, why would you hire this guy in the first place?

That's an excellent question, and goes to the root of why the Niners have been so bad for so long.

cf: Tom Walsh, Oakland Raiders 2006. (Though probably an extreme example in contrast). Who knows why the hell these people get hired.

Jimmy Raye had been a trusted assistant behind Norv, who had been the one coordinator Alex Smith had some success with before Norv took the San Diego job, so the theory was that maybe he could duplicate that success. However, Singletary did not allow Raye to run a Norv-esque system. Raye and/or Johnson implemented some spread offense at the end of last season and the team looked pretty good. Then they drafted two huge dudes and tried to go back to Mike's '80s offense and it didn't work.

I mean, obviously Raye had his own problems this year, but I don't think the problem was that Raye was too old fashioned or didn't know what he was doing.

Oof! Trent Edwards is apparently unemployed now.

Whut?

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2010/09/buffalo-bills-cut-qb-trent-edwards/1

They've dumped Edwards in favor of Fitzpatrick (and, eventually, Brian Brohm I guess).

So I guess Fitzpatrick is REALLY their guy now. Wow.

I will be shocked if they don't draft a quarterback next offseason.

Oh, they most definitely will. In fact, Andrew Luck should probably start looking for a house in Buffalo.

"Hey you, waterboy! You're our #3 quarterback now. Here's a visor, here's a clipboard. Go sit next to Brohm."

How does Daunte Culpepper not have a job in the NFL, btw. Some seriously gross QB play out there.

Weeeelll...friends of mine watched him in a UFL game - Sacramento Mountain Lions v Florida Tuskers (Brooks Bollinger as QB, lol!) and they said Culpepper looked pretty bad. He made Brooks Bollinger look like Michael Vick. And honestly, he didn't get many reps with the Raiders as backup but he was looking slow and creaky when he came in. He's not anywhere near as mobile as he used to be.
His arm's pretty nice, but I dunno that anyone would take a risk on him now. He's way too injury prone.
