Todd Haley Fired In KC

I wrote about it earlier in the year, and listed Haley
at number three. Candidate number one is a Dead Man"
Walking", Tony Sparano. Number two on that list has
already been let go, Jack DelRio, and number three is
now gone ass well. The writing was on the wall, and
now Todd Haley is gone, and I suspect it will be awhile
before anyone else is ready to give Haley a chance at
running their team again. The Chiefs were never really
scaring anyone, and their first two games where they were
outscored 97-10 to start the season 0-2 was more than
management in KC needed to know to make their decision.

NFL Stone Cold Locks 2011 Week 8

Fool.com

The record is 18-3, but to me that is soiled by
the fact that last week I went 2-1, and that's
not much of a LOCK. In the only game I lost I
said "Ravens can only defeat themselves in this
one", and I was wrong because the Jaguars actually
did what they had to do, and beat the Ravens.
Nice job by Jack Del Rio and his staff.
This weeks picks look to take me back to a much
more positive result, let's see:

1. Baltimore - They can't lose two straight, can they?
2. San Francisco - Cleveland looks bad, real bad.
3. Tennessee - I have no other choice, hope I'm right.

Jaguars Humble Ravens To Dispel Rumors Of Elite Status

The Ravens opened their season with a convincing
and impressive beating of the Steelers only to lay
an egg vs the Titans the following week, and all
that was kind of forgiven once the Titans justified
it by improving to 3-2 before flopping themselves
yesterday and coming back to earth to even their
record at 3-3. That lose could easily have been
seen as a hiccup, but in a game that they clearly
should have dominated in front of a national audience,
against a rookie QB, a coach with one foot out the
door, and a stadium that rarely gets more than 25k,
and facing a 1-4 team no less, the Ravens managed to
not only lay a goose egg, but couldn't get a single
1st down in the first half. The Ravens along with
Jack Del Rio have now given the rest of the league
a blueprint on how to stop the Baltimore offense.
To add insult to injury, not only did they amass
0 first downs in the first half, but that was with a
total of 16 yards gained and they wouldn't get that
1st first down until just over 5 minutes remained in
the third quarter. The Ravens defense got pushed
around, a true oddity, and Joe Flacco did not look
like a quarterback that could lead his team to a
championship. Give the Jaguars and Jack Del Rio full
credit, they won the game, Baltimore did not lose this
game. The game plan was solid and executed perfectly,
that's all a coach can ask for. What will John
Harbaugh ask for this week?

AFC South: Setup Just Right For Schaub

With Manning OUT, and Garrard gone, it's
fair to say that it would take a bit of an
upset for the Titans to win this division
this year. So this is how I believe it's
will look in the end:

1. Houston Texans (Pretty Much By Default)
2. Tennessee Titans (Too Much Chris Johnson)
3. Indianapolis Colts (Still Got Talent)
4. Jacksonville Jaguars (What's Next For Del Rio?)
