Survivor: Seahawks
Forgot my survivor pick.
I'm gonna go with: Chicago.
My survivor pick is MIN.
Just in from Cleveland: Brandon Weeden smothered under giant American flag.
Took him about twenty seconds to find his way out.
EDIT: Ouuuuch, Jay Cutler just threw an interception to a linebacker who was practically already in the Bears' endzone. One of the easiest pick-sixes I've ever seen.
EDIT 2: RG3 is having a good NFL debut so far... two TD passes and a perfect passer rating through the first half.
Ugh, watching the 49ers-Packers game, and these officials are just horrible. They seem to be trying to make up for their inconsistency with prolificacy. In the process, they've made the Green Bay crowd very surly.

The officiating... it's just so bad
The officiating is awful. They need to pay the real refs. Most of these refs shouldn't' be officiating high school games. The Niners looked impressive. They haven't won in GB since Steve Young played there.
Oh for fuck's sake, Seahawks!
I was probably one of those surly people. I was at Lambeau for the game today (just got home about 15 minutes ago.)Originally Posted by Dragon
I'll generally agree... there were some questionable calls (and non-calls) in that game. However, honestly... the 49ers just played better and took it right at the Packers. I have to give San Fran credit, they looked good today. The Packers, meanwhile, have a lot of work to do yet on defense, especially against the run.
I'll agree that the 49ers played an excellent game, much better than I expected. I honestly hadn't bought into their offensive additions and thought they'd still have trouble moving the ball outside Frank Gore and Vernon Davis. But Alex Smith distributed the ball well, and Crabtree, Manningham, and Moss all made significant contributions. If they can continue playing on that level, I don't think anyone else in the NFC West can touch them.
The Razzie award for officiating so far has to go to the refs in the Seattle-Arizona game, who awarded the Seahawks a fourth timeout with thirty seconds left in the game. Luckily for the refs, it ended up not mattering.
I'm definitely disappointed by the Steelers' loss, but I'm also encouraged by a lot of what I saw. The Steelers were not at full strength for this game without James Harrison and Ryan Clark, both of whom I think could have made a big difference, and their cause was further hurt when Marcus Gilbert went out and forced rookie Mike Adams to spell him at right tackle. Even so, the protection for Ben was good more often than not, and the Steelers ran terrific ball control offense through most of the game. Meanwhile, the defense did a great job containing Manning through the first half.
In the end, the Broncos put on a fantastic game before their home crowd, and Manning may have had the best game he's ever had against the Steelers. Congratulations to the Broncos, and please play this well against our division rivals, too.
Forgot my survivor, I'll go with Baltimore.
The Patsies are looking good...they seem to have found a running game and a much faster and younger defense.
Manning looked really good, should be a great matchup when New England visits Denver a bit later this year, thats going to be same crazy hype.
Here's the tally! As usual, huge spread in the first week. Make sure to check your picks and let me know if I missed anything, as I added these up while under the influence of a headache.
