I have Steelers/Browns on the television and Saints/Panthers on my phone and my laptop open to SN. What will the wife say when she sees this? Probably just turn around and walk out of the room.
Update: She said "so this means I don't have to hear you yelling about the game because you can yell with your friends on the internet." Haha. She is funny (sometimes).
The two Jets fans @siggy47 and @btc_bellzer have the closest tiebreakers. Each was 1 point off. One has browns, the other has steelers. Compelling. I will have to review all the picks again to see if anyone else can take it but I think it will come down to these two.
Tank for Caleb Williams? Cardinals seem like they are doing a pretty bad job at it. 0-2 but if they keep flirting with victory like that they are bound to win a few.
Agreed. Can't really blame him. O line gave him little time, but if he can't manage quick release there's no chance. He also isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
It's similar, except for the constant injury fear and complete lack of a deep ball. I will say that Jimmy seems more willing to stand in the pocket and get completely pummeled by rushing defenders, where Carr would preemptively curl into a ball.
Mallard has been bullish on the Broncos since preseason. He gave me this whole 3 paragraph write up on why the Broncos were going to be a surprise team this year.
Steelers start hot with a pick 6 in game 2.

My daughter told me yesterday that she hates when football season starts because I get so angry. I explained that I'm a Jets fan.
The birthright of a Jets fan?
My daughter will inherit 4 months of being confused and disappointed. RN4L
When the Jets took Ken OBrien over Dan Marino in the 1983 draft my late father broke our TV. He claimed it was an accident.
I didn't know that happened. I can see why it would still be a sore subject 40 years later.
We've got a kid with a possible ear infection, so we'll see how much MNF my wife will tolerate.
I remember those days. Ear infections are rough. My daughter is now 22. Ear infections are over, replaced by chronic wiseassery.
My daughter's only three, but she's already flashing signs of wiseassery.
Join the club my friend.
She will fit right in on SN if that's the case.
That's no fun. My kiddos have been sick the past few days too but were much better today.
Saints pick up the FG.
3-3
With everyone picking the Dolphins yesterday for the weekly pick em. The tiebreaker likely is the deciding factor this week.

Cosmic consolation for living through another Zach season
Was not an impressive performance yesterday.
Wasn't entirely his fault but I've already given up...Just End The Season
Tank for Caleb Williams? Cardinals seem like they are doing a pretty bad job at it. 0-2 but if they keep flirting with victory like that they are bound to win a few.
Aren't they expected to have the first two picks, though?
They have the texans first rounder as well. So potentially.
And we know Jet's impressive QB draft history. I feel nauseas.
Doubtful. With that d they'll win a few.
Hard pass on USC QBs coming to the Jets
Agreed. Can't really blame him. O line gave him little time, but if he can't manage quick release there's no chance. He also isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Ughhhh
Time to go QB shopping?
I got in late on this week's picks and had to hope for some Pats offense to hit the tie-breaker.
I thought the Pats might win that game. It's like they forgot Miami D sucked until the 4th Quarter. Haha.
Carr's redzone difficulties continue.
Yup. Underthrew that ball. Easy TD.
With Chubb out Steelers should roll in second half
Never know. Been a crazy game. @blokchainb needs the Saints tonight for Survivor pool. We had 4 eliminated this week. One re-buy already executed.
In carr I trusted. Never again 😂
He's 2-0 so far, but as someone who rooted for him with the Raiders, it is hard to have confidence in him.
Exactly. He should be better! That game last night was way too close
Welcome to the Derek Carr experience.
How does the Jimmy G experience compare so far?
It's similar, except for the constant injury fear and complete lack of a deep ball. I will say that Jimmy seems more willing to stand in the pocket and get completely pummeled by rushing defenders, where Carr would preemptively curl into a ball.
Who got knocked out and which team(s) got them?
Wumbo and ekzyis with the Lions.
Turd with the chargers.
Mallard with the Broncos.
Turd has already bought back in.
I'm so happy it was the Chargers and Broncos. You have to beware perennially overrated teams early in the season.
Mallard has been bullish on the Broncos since preseason. He gave me this whole 3 paragraph write up on why the Broncos were going to be a surprise team this year.
Surprisingly bad maybe. If they do improve it will still probably take some time to learn the new system.
Big INT for Panthers. Takeover in Saints territory.
Terrible decision
4 turnovers in 1Q. Remind me never to take the Steelers or Browns in the survivor pool.
Compromise: I'll remind you of this if you do pick either of them.
Crazy game.
Do they always have split screen with both games? Nice.
I forgot about that. You just saved me from trying to watch and chat at the same time on my laptop.
I don't have a split screen. I have one on tv and one on laptop. I am watching on TSN in Canada though. Two separate channels.
This game is bonkers
These games are a mess. I can't keep up.
No kidding. Reviewing the spot because a fumble moved it back one yard.
Another year, another failed hope of winning for my Panthers!
A Panthers fan. Welcome. Hopefully we hear from you again. We do a weekly pick em contest on fridays for 1000 sats if you want to join.
I didn't know they really existed either.
I will definitely join in on Friday.
What is going on in these games? It's completely absurd. That was like 3 fumbles in one play.
Incredible catch to set up first and goal.
Madden always loved those catches: 1 butt = 2 feet.
Next time I am not going to try to comment play by play. I am missing replies now because of the endless comments. My bad. Live and learn.
Saints finally scored a TD
Touchdown Browns but Chubb got badly injured on the previously play. Huge loss for Browns.
Another turnover. Saints pick up a fumble.
Browns INT. What was Pickett thinking.
No harm done. FG miss.
Browns kick a FG.
7-3 Steelers.
Saints have to settle for a FG. Nice D from Panthers.
6-3 Saints.
