2011 NFL Thread: The Lazarus Season - Part 8

[Genesis 1.0]

Yup, that's the headline on NFL.com.

Not really surprised.

 

[Donut]

Yet they still keep Jeff is your mother a hooker Ireland. ****ing Dolphins

 

[Kaleb]

Dolphins fire Sparano.

I thought he would be the first to get sacked.before the season started.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Only reason he hadn't gotten fired was that little winning streak.

What the hell does a stupid ass general manager have to do with that winning streak ? I am rooting for the Patriots for the next three weeks. The Dolphins players will be pissed & refuse to play I bet

 

[Dr. Evil]

Pro Football Talk says that the possible candidates to replace Haley are Josh McDaniels, Kirk Ferentz (it's about time that the Kirk Ferentz to the NFL yearly rumor starts up again) and Eric Mangini

 

[Immortalfire]

Tony Soprano fired? I guess the Dolphins made him an offer he couldn't refuse.

 

[Donut]

What channel will the announcement be on ?

Lol KC preaching Patriot coaching on their team...

I guess Sparano got fired for too much winning...They are pushing themselves out of the RGIII sweepstakes too

It was 40 cakes.

I feel the same way. It seems like Miami was gunning for a QB in the first round, but now Soprano has helped the Fins win too many games for them to be able to draft anyone worthwhile. He should've just keep losing and keep his job like Caldwell did at Indy.

That's terrible.

Brian Urlacher: "Tim Tebow is a good Running Back" & Julius Peppers: "He didn't do anything special." http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/stor...ls-denver-broncos-tim-tebow-good-running-back


http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?sl..._urlacher_calls_tim_tebow_a_good_running_back

Seriously, you can't really deny that what Urlacher said is true. I've been other real running backs making a pass in the Options play having a better throwing motion than Tebow's.

 

[enterthemadness]

So Matt Moore has concussion like symptoms. Yeah, he didn't suffer one, just lift the game due to bad play calling and O-Line play.

And poor Sprano...

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

It may be true, but then doesnt that in turn make the Bears look even worse?

Send him some flowers and candy.

 

[Donut]

Hopefully when the Dolphins find another coach they don't chicken out just because they don't want to fire Jeff Ireland

It sure does. Sour grapes by Urlacher after the game, pretty much a cheap shot about Tebow.

Tebow really is pretty bad as a QB, though. I just don't understand how he's getting it done.

Tebow got help from the underrated Broncos defense, and alot of luck (such as facing a Bears' team without their starting QB & RB, a Chargers' team that had Phillips having one of his worst seasons ever, etc). However, it does look like AFC West is Broncos' to lose unless they suddenly take a nose dive and let Raiders get back on top of the division.

It's not really him that's doing it all. Matt Prater kicked not one, but two 50+ yard FG's. One late in the game and one in OT. If he misses one of them, then we aren't talking about this today.

Same as last week. Prater kicks a 46 yard FG to tie the game then a game winner as the time expires.

2 weeks ago. Broncos down by 3 in the fourt quarter with less than 2 minutes to go. Prater kicks a 41 yard FG to tie the game, then kicks game winner in OT.

Is Tebow doing enough for them to win? Absolutely. Should he get all the credit. No.

It also didn't hurt that apparently Barber is brain dead.

Those two idiots the Bears picked up from Dallas have done more harm then good.

It's just unbelievable that teams keep finding ways to give games to the Broncos. Can't blame them for taking advantage of that, though. Wins are wins.

Those kicks would have been good from 70, too. Right down middle, blasted them.

Some how Jeff Ireland still has a job. Though I'm sure that Stephen Ross has learned from his mistake last year and if a coach like Fisher, Bellick, Gruden or Cowher (all of whom are on Ross' radar according to reports) want Ireland gone, Ireland will be gone.

I am guessing that Ireland has some good dirt on Ross

Now if only the Eagles would fire Andy.
