Definite rich-running situation - could be a boost/vacuum leak causing it. Failing O2 sensors will cause you default to safety fueling maps that will run rich to protect the engine but it shouldn't be as bad as you're describing. You need to scan for codes - running that badly, you're bound to have something logged.
