Whipped Cream Difficulties

NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-17:

Chargers (bye week)

Jets lose to winless Dolphins at home as season takes embarrassing turn

You. Don’t. Say.

The Dolphins, who entered the game 0-5 and coming off their bye week, represented one of the few teams on the schedule that the Jets figured to have a good chance of defeating.

The worthless Chargers play the Rams next Sunday. While the Rams have been struggling (they were actually a favorite of many to win the Superb Owl this year: they are 2-4 as I write this, and are currently up by a touchdown over the Raiders) they are a heavy favorite to win this game.

In other other news, we’re getting to the point in the college football season where the firings begin.

Dave Aranda out as coach of Baylor.

In just over seven seasons, he went 40-40 with the Bears.

Dave Doeren out as head coach of NC State.

Doeren was hired in 2013 and finished with a 98-74 record at N.C. State and 121-78 in his career. The Wolfpack made 11 bowl game appearances during Doeren’s tenure, including five straight from 2014-18.

3-4 overall this season, 1-3 in conference.

…N.C. State was embarrassed in its season opener at Virginia. It fumbled away a victory at Vanderbilt. N.C. State nearly lost to Appalachian State and was blown out at home against Wake Forest. The loss to Stanford — a bad Cardinal team, no less — was the final straw.

Also out: general manager Andy Vaughn and defensive coordinator DJ Eliot.

And Drew Mehringer fired as offensive coordinator for Oregon.
