Mike Nugent appears to be the winner.

Titans might be looking for a new kicker this week.

Lorini · Post by **Lorini** » Sun Oct 06, 2019 7:05 pm

So the Raiders are two and two. They overall looked better than I've seen them in a long time, although I didn't see last week's game.

No, I think 2-2 must be right. Results for games played outside the US don't count, right?

The Redskins are a dumpster fire of a franchise who pulled off the epic dick move of making Jay Gruden come in at 5 AM this morning to fire him.

That is really crummy.

They wanted him to enjoy the rest of his day.

Doesn't he still get paid for doing nothing? That's the kind of shitty day I wouldn't mind.

Just couldn't get through my mind that they had a winning record after 5 games, that's all

He does, but that's not how these guys are wired. And there's the whole blow-to-the-ego thing of not getting to finish what you started. I'm not sure he deserved to keep his job, but how they let him go is pretty bad.

That's so Gruden would get stuck in morning commuter traffic when the firing was done as a final twist of the knife.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Mon Oct 07, 2019 2:18 pm

It's definitely a dick move, but isn't Gruden long-term better off getting fired this way? That way the story becomes "Asshole Snyder fires Gruden at 5 am" intead of "Gruden fired following 0-5 start to season".

One does wonder if Snyder could figure that out though.

Jeff V · Post by **Jeff V** » Mon Oct 07, 2019 4:06 pm

What difference does it make what time he is fired? The narrative to me is "winless coach available to indulge in fall festivals."

Ralph-Wiggum · Post by **Ralph-Wiggum** » Mon Oct 07, 2019 5:35 pm

Yeah, I don't really see the big deal about the 5 AM thing. I think many NFL head coaches probably get to the office around that time anyway during the season.

That's what I figured. It's worse letting the guy go on with his day wasting his time when the decision has been made.

naednek · Post by **naednek** » Tue Oct 08, 2019 3:05 pm

now that was a beat down. Running game was on point, won't be next week due to our FB being hurt. Defensive line was a monster, and Bosa had his coming out party. Guess he didn't like that stunt Mayfield did in college...

Jaymann · Post by **Jaymann** » Tue Oct 08, 2019 3:23 pm

Do you think maybe NFL defenses have figured out Mayfield?

I think Mayfield is going to have defenses gunning for him until he finds his proper place in the player hierarchy in the NFL.

i think it was more of the niners not giving him anytime to throw or get comfortable. Brown's Oline couldn't stop the rush. From looking at him it seems that the niners and Bosa got inside his head when he did have time.

Considering the dumpster fire that is the Redskins' front office, it's a big deal to show how callous they continue to be (see the Trent Williams saga) and how out of touch they are with what actually makes a winning franchise.

Again, how is it possibly less shitty to allow someone to work a portion of their day when the decision has been made to terminate them?

So they should fire him at 3AM or something? At some point you need to give a person a little respect.

I think the Niners defense is really, really good. More about them than Mayfield.

What was in the water in Minnesota??

Also, the Pats were down to one personnel grouping on offense for much of the fourth quarter because of all the injuries. I'm glad there are 10 days until the next game and hope they can get at least a couple people healthy.

If that's when they normally start their workday, why not? How is it conceivably respectful to allow a person to work when their fate has been determined?

Purple people eaters. They've since gone extinct from over-fishing.

Brady really will throw it to anybody as this guy had three catches yesterday.

It's disrespectful to assume that just because you start at 3AM everyone else does. At any rate, you do wonder where fired Gruden will end up.

No, if the coach starts at 3 am, why not fire him at 3 am? I doubt the executive doing the hatchet job normally works those kind of hours. Football coaches are notorious for keeping crazy hours; likely reviewing lots of tape before an AAR meeting later in the morning with the entire team.

ya while not as fun as Monday's game, it was fun watching those 4th down stands. Hopefully we can keep limping by until our running game squad comes back

I didn't have time to watch the Broncos game yesterday, but apparently they shut out the Titans...go figure.

I hope the officials really enjoy their yellow and green speedboats. And sports cars. And vacation homes.

Sheesh.

I watched most of that game, as it was the only afternoon game on yesterday.

I'm not exaggerating when I say it was one of the worst football games I've ever watched. Ever.

Marcus Peters (CB) was traded from the Rams to the Ravens for Kenny Young (LB).

Eagles

Before their game Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zach Brown remarked that inconsistent quarterback Kirk Cousins was the "weakest part of the offense."

One day after Cousins and the Vikings put up 38 points and 447 total yards on Brown's Eagles defense in a landslide victory, the linebacker is no longer a part of the team.

The Eagles announced that they cut Brown on Monday.
