If TN pays up and Adams stays the fuck away, then yeah I could see it.  The Dallas thing is interesting because I think they would have to totally tank for Jerry to fire Garrett.  I think he probably gets 7-9 wins and avoids getting fired after the year.

That sounds exactly like the Titans defense I've been watching.  That game in two or three weeks is going to be entertaining.  You have the two worst teams in points allowed facing one another. 

The Bills are somehow only five points behind the Titans in points allowed.  The Titans have tied a record with allowing 30 points per game in the first five games of the season.

The Titans offense stinks though and that is why I probably think the Bills will win.

I could kind of see the WR/QB problems before the season though.  Fitz, while not being totally awful, isn't exactly a great player either.  He is average and you really can't win in today's pass happy NFL with an average qb.  The WR outside of Stevie Johnson aren't really good.  Current upcoming group of WR prospects doesn't look that good.

The best realistic guy in FA would probably be Greg Jennings from GB.  I don't think the Packers are going to franchise him.  Mike Wallace is another good candidate, as I can't see PIT franchising him again.

The Vikings have beaten two shitty AFC South teams and a disappointing DET team along with the win over the 49ers.  I just looked at their schedule and they have a difficult second half:

Nov 4 @SEA (always tough to play there)
Nov 11 vs DET
Nov 25 @CHI
Dec 2 @GB
Dec 9 vs CHI
Dec 16 @STL (Fisher has them playing hard)
Dec 23 @HOU
Dec 30 vs GB

We'll know a lot more about the Vikings during that long stretch.  I still think the Packers can come back here.  Maybe not win the division but I could see them with a wild card.

I've given up on the Lions doing anything.  They have really bad secondary play and their ST is abysmal.

I think the Cardinals might fall back now that teams have realized that they have an awful OL.

ATL has a lock on the NFC South.  And I think that SF wins the West.  The other two divisions are bloodbaths.  Actually the NFC West is very competitive as well.  The problem is that the other 3 teams will probably beat up one another and they end up with similiar win totals (7 to 9 wins) but not enough for a WC.

Definitely the Titans.  Fourth time this season that they've been beaten by 21 points or more

The offense isn't very good either--last in plays run and last in time of possession.  I watched most of the game and the defense didn't play that bad.  I mean they still weren't great but it was ok if the offense could put together any type of sustainable drive together.

Wanted any type of pass rusher.  Not sure about Locker, but I guess that is for the new coaching staff to decide.  They still play the Jags twice (Jags should be up there as worst team too, they got destroyed by the Bears), plus the Jets. 

In two weeks, they play the Bills.  At least Buffalo can run the damn ball and Fitzpatrick can throw a pass or two past ten yards.  Hasselbeck should just retire.  At least Kerry Collins could throw it downfield ten yards.  At times watching this game I wondered whether or not the Vikings dbs were some of the intended targets of some of those ducks Hasselbeck was throwing.

At least buzzsaw will be happy when he watches the Bears destroy the Titans in Nashville later on.

I don't think Oakland has won a game yet.  Assuming Titans and Bills fire their coaches, that will be two octogenerians (Ralph Wilson and Bud Adams) hiring coaches.  Both these guys don't have the rep for hiring high profile expensive coaches either, although I think Wilson paid Levy well and Bud obviously gave Fisher a high salary.

Will Gruden be even interested in any of these two jobs?

Edit bonus Bills question for CC:

What are their problems?  You can't blame it all on the QB/oline.  They gave up 45 points today.  I don't think Mario Williams had a sack and only had one tackle.

Key play early in the game was Hamilton grounding into the double play with runners on 1st and 3rd with no outs.  Yeah, they tied the game but they could have had so much more.

Hamilton looked awful this game striking out 2 times and that critical GIDP.  Napoli didn't look much better with 2 strikeouts including 1 when there were runners on 1st and 3rd with one out.

I bet both those guys don't come back next year in Texas.  I give the Orioles credit.  They did just enough on offense to win.  I don't think Saunders pitched particularly well but he located his off speed stuff well and got helped with some impatient Texas hitters.

I still think the Yankees win against the Orioles.  At some point, the Orioles all or nothing approach will hurt them.  I have to admit it is kinda cool for Showalter to be managing against the Yankees in the playoffs.

I've seen the Goldberg knock off and he gets zero heat from the crowd.  I don't count people chanting "Goldberg" as any type of legit heat.

Can Taker work more than one match a year?  They seem to be saving him up for Wrestlemania.  This is where they should have just went with one of those fatal four way matches.  Just dump in 2 or 3 wrestlers on the upper card and have them wrestle Punk.  Hell, they could have dumped Bryan and Kane in there and have them continue their feuding partners storyline.

But did the offensive player ever have the ball (or come close to catching it), it seemed like he just tried to rip the ball out of the db's arm after the db established the catch(int).

I think you're blaming the wrong guy here.  Ross should be the target of your ire.  He's the guy who refused to fire Ireland.  They could have easily just hired some personnel guy (like STL did) and give Fisher full personnel powers.

Plus there are some other advantages that STL had.  A far softer media market than media which is less likely to question Fisher's coaching moves.

I don't really see them firing Philbin unless they really tank.  I'm talking 3 wins or less.

Miami just seems to be a 5-7 win team.  That'll buy him another year probably.

Ireland will be gone.  I liked the Vontae Davis trade though.  Probably picked up a high second rounder with that trade.  And they have another 3rd rounder from the Bears I think.  It'll give the next GM decent draft and trade ammo.
